Labotessa Luxury Boutique Hotel

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. My husband actually thinks our stay on this property may have been one of the best hotel experiences he has ever had. We will certainly recommend the property to anyone visiting Cape Town. If we visit again we will absolutely book a room here.

Right when you walk in, the ambiance of luxury and friendliness is evident. From the warm welcome and the thoughtful personal extra’s on the room to the effort they took to make our stay for my husbands birthday an incredible sumptuous one. Everybody goes the extra mile. The bed is huge with comfortable quality linnen and the perfect combination of firm with a soft top. The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated with all the comfort you need. Every dish on the menu is delicious but I would highly recommend the bitterballen accompanied with one of the fine wines or beers. In short, if you want to be pampered and wallow in luxury, go here!

The elevator gets you directly into your suite. The suite itself is gorgeous. Large, with a sitting area with a nice view on Lions Head, a high eating table and complimentary mini bar which is restocked every day during your visit. Excellent shower and large comfy bed. Breakfast is only a la carte and it’s not clear what is included in the rate. I should have preferred a continental breakfast served directly at the table or as a buffet and some hot options afterwards. It’s a bit strange they bill an extra coffee, yoghurt,… Staff is extremely welcoming and helpful in planning your day, reserving a restaurant, giving advice. We had a beautiful stay !

Labotessa can be summed up in 3 words. 'A Perfect Stay' Or perhaps - 'Can't be Topped' Wait, maybe it's - 'Fabulous Beyond Belief' A 17th-century building with 2024 and beyond amenities and hospitality. Our 3rd floor suite - accessed by private elevator - was beautifully decorated with outstanding attention to details, from the heated bathroom floor, perfectly stocked mini kitchenette & bar, high thread count sheets, comfortable furniture and so much more. The staff can NOT be beat! Rachelle Hoy is a gem, she responded to every email within 24 hours and arranged for our full day tour to the wine country plus half day tour along the coast, as well as suggesting (and booking) several restaurants. Breakfast and lunch in their small cafe mirrors the 5-star review. Johan, the owner has impeccable taste. He goes to the head of the class in the world of hospitality and if he ever decides to open another boutique hotel - in any country - we will be follow.

This hotel is now on my top 3 best of the world! The rooms were huge, the property was beautiful inside and out and most importantly, the team was welcoming, warm and extremely helpful. Not in the typical V&A waterfront area, but a short Uber ride away and very quiet neighborhood. Loved our stay!

Great friendly staff. Central location; near Parliament. In terms of the amenities they have thought of everything. The Presidential Suite has two floors and three bedrooms Fantastic for a family. More like a beautiful apartment. Daily food in room. Overall a great experience.
