Lovely boutique hotel

Nice hotel with very friendly staff. We liked the large room and personal touches for our honeymoon. The cafe was lovely with a nice outdoor space. The team were very helpful with our car and also recommending where we should visit.

Personalized luxury

From the moment we stepped out of the car upon our arrival, the staff treated us like family. They gave us a warm welcome. They showed us around our rooms which were so large and cool to enter right from the elevator! So many personalized touches throughout out the room. Honestly, the best hotel experience we’ve ever had. The attention to detail was such a great spoil. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. In fact, we brag to everyone about our stay, in hopes they'll treat themselves or tell their family/friends to go.

Exceptional

I had an exceptional stay at this property. From the moment I arrived, everything was seamless, the check‑in process was quick and professional and the staff were welcoming and attentive throughout. The room was spotless, beautifully presented and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The facilities were excellent and the attention to detail really stood out. It’s clear that the team takes pride in maintaining high standards. The location was convenient, making it easy to get around and the overall atmosphere was both relaxing and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality, comfort and above par service. I’ll definitely be returning in the future.

An exceptional hotel that remains the ultimate spoil, one stay is simply not enough. Thank you to the lovely team for al

Labotessa is a rare gem in Cape Town that instantly transports one to an European stay with a level that many top Cape town hotels can’t achieve. Beautiful garden and interior, every single detail looked after, so clean and well maintained and every single team member so friendly and helpful. The tiny touches like a hand written welcome card, complimentary wine/cheese/predrinks, the Diptyque hotel mini’s and not even to mention the stunning Diptyque boutique.

I had the pleasure of staying at the Labotessa Hotel for one night last week and was thoroughly impressed. The hospitality stood out from the moment I arrived, with a warm and attentive team always available to support with any request. My room was exceptionally luxurious, beautifully designed, and equipped with every comfort I could wish for. A truly memorable stay that exceeded expectations. I will definitely come back.

A perfect landing pad, would love to stay longer next time

Firstly the staff are superb. Professional, experienced, and eager to assist with a personal and personable approach. Nice, caring human beings. Warm yet not overstated furnishings. Spacious room. Very well thought out design with a place for everything, and many amenities cleverly concealed out of view so your every desire is on hand, and you can admire the beautiful room and wider property without intrusion of function. Impeccably clean and in perfect condition. Tasty and healthy complimentary snacks and beverages in the room. Central for a taste of Cape Town and quick access to all the sites. Great breakfast available throughout the day.
