Words cannot even describe the kind of service you will receive at this beautiful and charming Guest House. It is situated in a very trendy area of Capetown with great access to all of the city's major attractions. The staff at Welgelegen is incredible and their kindness and hospitality is unbelievable. The beautiful rooms have everything that you need and... more

I booked this guest house through the recommendation of a travel agency in Cape Town. I told them I was traveling alone and my main requirements were that I'd be in a clean, safe place. So, I was expecting something very minimal and basic. (And, frankly, often as a single traveler, I get the dregs of hotel rooms because I... more

A guest house in a residential area, a stone's throw from restaurants and nightlife is the best way to describe Welgelegen. Our room was trendily decorated in modern decor and colours, complete with mini bar and coffee facilities, complimentary home baked cookies and chocolates. We had a kingsize bed with the most amazing pillows and a huge window overlooking the... more

I want to share a recent experience at Welgelgen. I was in Cape Town for the Cape Argus Cycle tour. Imagine my surprise on returning to the room the evening before the race to find a specially prepared (unsolicited!)"race pack" containing goodies that would help me through the day! To top it a gift of a beaded angel was included... more

This very pretty guest house in a cul-de-sac of a residential neighborhood was the perfect place to relax and an excellent base for exploring Cape Town. My four-year-old daughter and I could not have felt more special in our lovely room. The staff was so helpful from showing us the nearby park to getting us directions to a restaurant faraway.... more

After staying at Alta Bay, Hawksmoor House and Le Grand in Plett (all recommended by Mr and Mrs Smith) we were hugely disappointed with our stay at Welgelegen. Although the communal spaces were lovely, and the location great, the room was small and tired - certainly in need of redecoration at the least. The draughts and rattling windows kept us... more

We were met after a long journey with a freshly squeezed orange juice in a grand living room whilst our bagage was quickly taken to our room. The staff introduced us to the guest house helpin us get a good orientation. We had a family room booked which was extremely spacious and well decerated - a nice L-shaped room giving... more

Our first experience of South African hospitality and generosity. Anine and the staff were so welcoming after our long flight from the UK. Smiles and kindness immediately plus tea and great home cooked biscuits! So much help and information on what to do, where to go and how to explore C.T. Rooms, breakfasts and service all top class. I can... more

When your airport-transfer taxi finally pulls up outside after your long journey from London and the hotel manager rushes out to the street to welcome you by name and tell you excitedly that your friends (who are also visiting Cape Town) have already left a message of welcome too, you know that you have chosen your hotel really well. Indeed,... more

Stayed at the Welgelegen initially for four nights in January 2009 then returned for our final two nights in South Africa. We always research Tripadvisor and have never been let down by members reviews, this proved to be the case once again. Welgelegen is a really nice old style detached house set in a very quiet cul-de-sac close the restaurants... more
