This place is perfectly located in Simon’s Town, waking distance to many restaurants and a short walk from Boulders Beach. The balcony and courtyard are perfect for enjoying the weather and people watching. The breakfast is simple but nice. And the people are very sweet!!

It’s right on the main street and the walls are thin. so if you’re looking for absolute peace and quiet, you might like something further up in the mountains of Simon’s Town.

The Central Hotel has a fascinating past, which is told on the hotel’s lovely coffee mugs, one of which I bought as a souvenir. The room’s décor is in keeping with its 127-year-old history as a hotel, with a proper dressing table, cheval mirror and charming rattan chairs. However, the facilities are modern and the service is excellent. I am allergic to eggs and mushrooms, which usually downscales my English breakfast but not here. Shima, in charge of guest relations, and Ntombi, in charge of the kitchen went out of their way to give me a delightful and large breakfast every morning. The New Year was rung in with a chorus of ships’ horns in the harbour, which I viewed from the balcony. The hotel also has a set of rooms around a pleasant courtyard. Highly recommended.

It feels like you’re stepping back in time for a day or two. The older design and interior is so charming. Location itself is great, and it’s close to various restaurants and coffee shops. Shami and the other staff members were so helpful and friendly - you guys are a great addition to the hotel!

The slightly negative aspect to the location being in the main street is traffic noise. Also, and I hope the owners see this, why put up the horrid, very cheap looking, plastic prints with Chinese writing on the walls? It honestly gives a very tacky feel to the room. I understand if they want to portray some of their Chinese heritage, which is in no way a problem, but do it more tastefully. It clashes awfully with the entire building and interior. A more antique-looking frame isn’t too expensive, and opt for a nicer looking print or painting etc to put up with the message.

This was an upgrade to another property owned by the same person. Definitely better than Central Hotel and Guest House

The fact that we had to demand the rooms we booked. They kept insinuating that Booking.com got it wrong. The upgraded facility's was better than the original property booked.

The location is superb. If you like to stay in a place that dates back to the 18th century, crackling wooden floors and furniture that reminds you of your Grandma.... but also want to retire in a comfortable bed, super clean and modern Bathroom with a big wireless TV with Netflix... then don't miss out on this place !!!! Best value for money

Hate the fact that I could not find something wrong :)

Great view, great veranda, lovely breakfast, convinent street parking

Town wakes up at 7am. People greeting on street like they are outside the window.

It was so lovely to be welcomed back by the staff, who remembered me from December. They arranged a special breakfast for me because I am allergic to eggs and mushrooms

It is very central. You can walk everywhere, that is why we booked there.

We were told there was safe parking behind the hotel, that actually turned out to be a servitude road and problematic. During the day, the road outside is very noisy, but becomes less busy between 20h and 06h

lovely location

Very pleasant accommodation. Would recommend to anyone.

Not didn't like; but a proper shower head would be appropriate. With everything else just about perfect.
