“Big Weekend”

Reviewed 14 April 2013

I made a multiple booking for two nights as we had a wedding at Buitenverwachting. The hotel decor is very different and we liked it. In particular the suite for my daughter and her groom. Service was unobtrusive but attentive. We only eat at the bistro area (breakfast and lunch) and I can recommend both the food and the service.... More

“Complicated”

Reviewed 17 March 2013 via mobile

We arrived at the hotel by car on a busy Sunday afternoon, to a full car park, complicated as the majority of parking places were marked as reserved for the adjoining offices. Deciding this would not apply on a Sunday, we took a gap. We were shown to our room which was beautifully furnished but complicated. We decided to make... More

This review is for the rose bar. Great comfy sofas under giant oak trees with a view across the garden to the hotel swimming pool.

“5 Rooms Restaurant...Beyond belief.”

Reviewed 3 March 2013

Alphen is an old institution in Cape Town in a lovely location but over the years it went in to decline. Now refurbished the Hotel and the Le Belle restaurant have good reports, so I thought I should try their main restaurant the 5 Rooms. This is the first time I have ever given anywhere an accolade for being the... More

“Stunning hotel in the green heart of Cape Town”

Reviewed 24 February 2013

We had a wonderful stay at the Alphen Hotel in Constantia, Cape Town. The hotel has been heavily invested in since we stayed there 2years ago and it seems to only have benefited from it. New facilities and services have been added without the loss of its heritage and character. Hidden away in the green suburb that is Constantia the... More

Thank-you for your wonderful review, we truly appreciate it. We do pride ourselves in the magnificent gardens that the hotel and restaurants are surrounded by. Did you manage to have a stroll along the Alphen Trail adjacent to the property?

We really enjoyed the venue. We had looked at various placed and were unwilling to spend good money on poor accommodation. The hotel accommodated us at a great price. All the amenities were great. Bar, pool, rooms and both restaurants. Unfortunately the spa was not ready during our stay. We stayed in room 8 and it was luxury. We looked... More

“A gem discovered”

Reviewed 6 February 2013

We read about the Alphen hotel just after we arrived back home last year. It was high on our list of places to visit this year and we were not disappointed, on the contrary. First of all, it is a beautiful estate, no discussion about that. When we first visited on Sunday evening we were very friendly welcomed by all... More

“Give the Rose Bar a miss”

Reviewed 4 January 2013

Note: This is a review of the hotel's Rose Bar only - I have not stayed at the hotel itself. Location is great and the garden setting is serene and relaxing. Wine list is quite well put-together, but among the lowest value-for-money I have seen around Cape Town. Staff members are usually alright, but I’ve just learned that they get... More
