Very friendly hosts, spacious room with great view; very comfortable room; very good breakfast; definitely would stay here again Photo is the sunrise view from my room
Great location and unit is stunning
Great location with fantastic view.
Die Gastgeber und deren Angestellte sind sehr sympathisch und hilfsbereit. Die Unterkunft ist kein Einheitsbrei, jedes Zimmer weist andere Details in Dekoration und Architektur auf. Zudem ist die gesamte Unterkunft mit Liebe geführt und lädt zum Wohlfühlen, wie ein Zuhause ein.
The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The view was great and the loaction was very convenient. The room was lovely and spacious and the breakfast was wonderful.
The weather was abnormally hot whilst we were there so an air conditioner in the room would have been very welcome but the fans did help to cool the room down a bit.
Мне понравилось, что это спокойное и уютное место для восстановления сил. Очень красивый вид из окна номера и из зоны бассейна, столовой. Очень дружелюбный и милый персонал. Рядом с отелем в две стороны два пляжа можно прогуляться до пляжей, один из которых с пингвинами)

Views from breakfast room were across the sea,pool area got sun nice for a bottle of wi e on bistro set by the pool Pool towels were provided Breakfast good choice , we had jnr suite overlooking sea massive batbroom
This is my new favorite place to stay near Cape Town! Very friendly staff, the best breakfast, and a cozy, safe, homestay-like place, with comfortable rooms, a nice common area with couches, a nice looking small pool and a sun terrace with great views. Can't wait to come back here!
Das fantastische Frühstück am Morgen mit der tollen Aussicht. Die gemütlichen Betten wo man sehr gut schlafen kann.
Es gab nix
Personal, Frühstück, Geräumigkeit
Ausstattung ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen und könnte ein Update vertragen.
Het was prima
Meget venlige mennesker. Rolige, hjælpsomme, personlig kontakt. Stedet ligger højt. Værelserne er store. Det eneste, der var ledigt, da jeg bookede (solo) var et kæmpe værelse med terrasse udover havnen/bugten. Fantastisk værelse. Det er sådan en fin service med god stempelkaffe på værelset mm. Morgenmaden var virkelig god.
Everything was perfect. The host was very welcoming, the place is absolutely beautiful, you can see the ocean straight from the room, and the breakfast was truly delicious.
They accommodated everything
Aircon in this summer.
It had a fabulous pool, lovely friendly staff, spacious rooms and great views

That we could feel at home, away from home with the most beautiful view.
I chose The Grosvenor Guest House for the view, but it exceeded my expectations with everything else as well. The owner and staff, especially Jonathan were so helpful. It was great to have a parking spot and the unit was gorgeous, equipped with everything one may require. If one wishes to self-cater, that would be easy as the kitchen is small but also equipped with the essentials. The garden not only offers a pool, but but several private spaces - all with the view. Breakfast offered a delicious and wide variety. I would love to return. The house is very close to shops and restaurants, but away from the hustle and bustle.
Nothing comes to mind.
Das Personal war super nett und hat uns mit allem geholfen. Der Aussenbereich ist wunderschön. Danke!
Liked everything, including very nice breakfast.
There were too many steps from parking to the main building.
Fantastiskt läge med underbar utsikt. Utmärkt frukost och trevlig värd och personal.
De rust en weg van de grote stad, maar toch alles vlakbij
Je moet een aantal trappen op voordat je boven bent, voor ons geen probleem maar voor mensen slecht ter been minder.
We liked the very spacious bedroom with balcony overlooking the harbour. Johnathon was extremely kind and helpful to us. The breakfast was fresh and delicious.
Locatie, fijne plek, alles was aanwezig, mooi uitzicht, vriendelijke ontvangst
Nice host - nice staff - splendid breakfast - good pool.
very lovely owners who were extremely welcoming and their staff Jonathan was fabulous. great room with seaview and delicious breakfast.

Allting. Rummet, resten av interiören, poolen, frukosten, personalen. Supermysigt o väldigt tryggt.
Great location, fantastic view, Jonathon very helpful, room really comfortable, great breakfast!
Steep stairs to get down to town if you choose to walk but easy to use car
Staff friendly and helpful. Room had a lovely big bed with crisp cotton linens and plenty of pillows. Kitchen area adequately equipped for light snacks and beverages.
The room had a slight musty smell which did fade once it was aired out.
Sehr schönes und gepflegtes B&B
Tolles Service, schöne Zimmer mit tollem Ausblick und guter Ausstattung
War alles perfekt
Hyvin huomaavainen ja ystävällinen henkilökunta. Ylellisen tuntuinen parveke muhkeine sohvineen. Pelkistetty mutta riittävä aamiainen.
Paljon askelmia, kuten muissakin alueen majoituspaikoissa.
The friendliness of the people The view The comfort of the bathroom The plug next to the bed Our spacious room
The stairs (but understandable at the location)
I loved my stay at Grosvenor Guesthouse, everything was superb. My room, the staff, breakfast, the welcome sparkling wine - all made for a lovely stay. Close to town centre via a set of stairs, quiet surroundings and a lovely pool with cool (not bath temperature) water. Highly recommend.
Nothing to not like, it was everything as described on booking.com ✅
The views
The place feels like someone's house.
Simons Town ist ein sehr schöner Ort um das Kap zu erkunden. Es bietet schöne Restaurants am Hafen und die Möglichkeit zu baden. Die Unterkunft wir sehr familiär und angemessen angenehm geführt. Für Frage und Problemen steht bis spät Abends immer jemand zur Verfügung.
Wir waren wunschlos glücklich

We had a fabulous stay for 3 nights. The views are amazing from the balcony where we had our welcome drinks and breakfast The room was very well appointed and comfortable
Great helpful staff and beautiful views from the room. Freshly cooked breakfast all very good.

Very accessible to the wharfs/piers for boat tours and to Boulders Beach to view the penguins. Sue and Jonathan were wonderful managers in their own way — Jonathan made the best omelettes and Sue offered to drive my friend and I down to the wharf for our boat tour.

Lovely place, great views, charming garden and various terraces. Awesome breakfast. Staff very welcoming, friendly and helpful. They gave me a wonderful room and helped me find a driver taking me to some vineyards.
A beautiful location with super friendly staff
Great place. Amazing service. Thank you
Staff members at the Grossvenor are fantastic and were always alert to help with any questions. Breakfast was also great and abundant. The location is great and close to Simon's town center. Keep in mind that there are plenty of stairs if you are doing this on foot. The house is also closeby to clean and nice beaches, including those ones where you can see the Pinguins.
The hosts really walked the extra mile to provide us anything we needed!
Big room, lovely terrace, people.
Nothing that I didn’t like
Staff were excellent, breakfast great, lovely view and garage parking a bonus.
Thought it was a bit too expensive in comparison to lots of other places we have stayed in SA
What a fantastic view. Everything else was amazing too, the staff, my room, the breakfast, the pool and garden, good wifi. There was a tuctuc for 60 rand each way down to the town. There was a takeaway service if you wanted an evening meal. Really close to Boulders Beach and the penguins. Highly recommended!
Large, beautiful, luxurious bedroom with views of the entire Simonstown. Just upmarket all round & delicious breakfast. Friendly, helpful staff
Liked everything
Wonderful stay throughout. Helpful staff
WiFi not the strongest but it’s fine.
Eenvoudig, goede prijs kwaliteit. Uitstekende service, rustig gelegen met zicht op de haven
Very friendly helpful staff in the kitchen and front of house. Beautiful views and pool. Room spacious and comfortable, lots of wardrobe space.
All was perfect!
This is a really beautiful , gracious property . The decor is elegant and we loved all the artwork. Nice touches like water and sherry for our enjoyment. Sue and Jonathan made us feel very much at home. They allowed us to leave our bags at the property before check in and also after check out. The room is huge, airy with a wonderful comfortable bed. Nice coffee and tea making facilities. A spacious bathroom with an excellent shower. Breakfast on the terrace was a treat - a wonderful view and a delicious selection of hot and cold breakfast items to enjoy. Very good coffee too. Free parking in a secure location. We were made to feel so comfortable and well looked after. I only wish we'd had more time there to enjoy it all!! Also very close to Boulders Beach and walking distance in to the cute town. We'll be back and thank you!
Nothing - everything was wonderful!!
Location, room, bonus of a pool, well looked after by the lovely staff, breakfast and we were even given a room upgrade.
Fantastic view, lovely staff, great breakfast
Not the guest houses fault but the traffic to get to Simon’s Town was awful. We had to stay closer to the airport the second night because of the exceptionally slow commute.
Beautiful views , tastefully decorated and attentive staff. Great Stay !
A stunning view, nice and comfortable room with a beautiful terrace, and a wonderful breakfast Very near to the centre of the town
Comfortable and well situated, we were warmly greater by Jonathan upon arrival and felt very welcome. Beautiful views from the room and the breakfast terrace. We stayed for one night but would come back again. Nice breakfast, prepared with care. Thank you!
The stay was exceptional! Five stars! The location was breath-taking and the management and staff were accommodating and made us feel at home. Highly recommended.
Was pleasantly surprised to find the Villa to be as warm and welcoming as depicted in the pictures . Our Host Sue personally welcomed us made sure we felt at home. The one thing they do not advertise is the beautiful view at night with the Moon on your balcony . everything you could need was available , will definitely be adding them to my list of returns :)
Staff was friendly, hospitable, and breakfast was exceptional. The view is amazing and the rooms are kitted out nicely.
Location very convenient
Steps to get up to property with luggage
Spacious, very clean, welcoming staff. Use of downstairs lounge and balcony and outdoor area. Breakfast was lovely sat on balcony. We could see the whales in the bay. Sue & Jonathon were very good. Would definitely come again
The only reason I marked down one star in location is the stairs. There are some going up to the property from street level but if you decide to take the short cut walking down to the town, there are lots 😩
Fabulous room with detailed equipment. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come again. Restaurants and beaches are in walking distance.
This is a nice house situated on the hill in Simon's Town. Very clean and the staff provided laundry service and tidied up daily. The view was spectacular and was waterfront. Our family highly recommends this guest house.
Very enjoyable stay... easy walk to the centre of town and to the penquins, but also nicely elevated away from the traffic of the main road and with lovely views of False Bay, sunrises and the historical naval harbour.
The hostess was great and very helpful with information about the area. The breakfast was excellent . The room was very spacious with great views.
Nothing .
Brilliant location and excellent place to stay
Absolutely stunning view, nice and accommodating staff that made the holiday journey truly a 10 star experience!
This guest house was exactly what we were hoping for — quiet, convenient, easy, and relaxing. Room was very clean and comfortable, with nice amenities. Onsite parking so appreciated. The included breakfast was robust and very good, and enjoyed with a great view. Loved that we could easily walk to the Main Street, restaurants, to Boulders Beach for penguins; and it is an easy drive to the national park. Jonathan and staff were welcoming, very helpful and accommodating. We would have loved to stay longer …
Everything well-appointed.One large bedroom had a magnificent view and its own balcony with outdoor sofa, the other smaller bedroom had little view but a magnificent bathroom with its own small balcony and view. Excellent breakfasts. A good choice of continental and cooked breakfast, with fresh fruit salad, yoghurt and cereal, toasts eggs, etc. on a veranda with a wonderful view of the Bay. The staff were very helpful, pleasant and accommodating.
Door knobs in the smaller bedroom had protruding screws, a potential danger of scratching ones arms. This was reported to staff and will no doubt be fixed.
Peaceful and quiet. Good breakfast. Sue was friendly and very helpful in meeting immediate needs. Jonathan and his team were friendly and very reliable.
The neighbour's dog who always barked at me anytime I decided to take a stroll
What a lovely spot and the staff are so helpful. Within walking distance to Penguins and Windmill beach. Thank you you for a fantastic three days.
The Grosvenor Guest House is exactly what you think of when you imagine a cosy bed and breakfast. Our room was ready for us even though we arrived early, breakfast was delicious. This is a cute, quaint, B&B with two welcoming hosts at a great location.
