I just spent a 3 nights at The Ambassador and was hugely dissapointed. I have stayed at the hotel on atleast 5 previous occassions over the last 4 years and there is definitely a decline in the service and the standard of the rooms. In our first room, there was no hot water in the shower and the cold tap... More

This hotel in cape town was a real disappointment. We were lucky to get a room directly overlooking the sea which was the only saving grace. We stayed 2 nights purely because of the sound of the sea by night. However, this hotel is nothing like The way it is portrayed on their website and this left a sour taste...no... More

What a view from the pool and bar area, not just at sunset but the whole day.... Great morning breakfast included, looking out over the ocean, small hotel, the staff was friendly and accommodating. More

I think this hotel has a superlative location and view. Rooms are up to date, neat and modern. Well serviced. However we were here on a conference. This meant we used the restaurant for lunch daily - which in my mind was expensive for what we received. The biggest issue I had was the service of the waiter staff which... More

Great location with amazing views over Bantry Bay cove (smallish rocky cove) very central to the main beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay (walking distance) and v centrally located to all other key destinations in CT. Key is to get a sea facing room in the main hotel - rooms are v small, with aircon, minibar and bath showers with... More

We first visited this hotel 3 years ago and loved it, but were a bit nervous about booking again after reading some very bad reviews. However, our stay was excellent and the service was good, although we did not have dinner in the restaurant. The breakfasts are freshly cooked to order, with an extensive menu. The view from the sea... More

Restaurant good but trying a little to hard to be more than it is. service ok, check out was a little difficult since we have been a big group. swimmingpool a... More

We stayed at the Ambassador when we lasted visited Cape Town 15 years ago & came away with very good impressions. This time we booked for 3 nights followed by another 2 nights at the 2 bedroom suites across the road. Location at Bantry Bay is still fantastic & very near to the town center & right on top of...

Ok let's get the negatives out of the way first. We turned up, early to be fair. The receptionist phoned house keeping to see if a room was available. It took 45 minutes and 3 discussions to make this happen. The lift is a bit crazy, I took to using the stairs. The rooms are not great, I'm not sure... More
