Mount Nelson is truly an oasis, a beautiful gem offering world-class accommodation and warm, exceptional service that makes you feel truly special. The staff are genuinely welcoming and always ready to assist. A special mention to Sim in the Veranda restaurant and Michael, as well as everyone I had the pleasure of interacting with. As a solo traveler seeking rest and rejuvenation before starting a week-long program in Cape Town, I found this to be the perfect hideaway. I felt completely safe and cared for, and everything about my stay was five-star in every sense. I especially enjoyed the stunning gardens and the breathtaking views from my room.
What’s not to love!!! Having to check out was the only downside 😩

If you only ever stay at one hotel in the world, make it the Mount Nelson. The whole experienece was amazing from start to finish. Our room was lovely, spacious & clean with all the extras. The facilities were fantastic, heated outdoor pool, spa, tennis lessons available.....could have stayed longer!

The hotel is set in a garden with 100+year old trees with Table Mt behind it. There is a beautiful pool, tennis courts, a bar, patio for afternoon tea. Our room had a spectacular view of Table Mt.

We will come back! Top of the line. We did not want to leave.
I think it would be helpful when booking dinners through concierge if they can let the guest know is the dinner/restaurant will be a 2-3 hour meal. We would have passed on a few places because they were 3 hour lunch and a 3 hour dinner. That’s just too long for us especially with kids. But it’s not the hotel or staff’s fault, only a suggestion!

Most special place with so much history. Incredible staff. Unbelievable service. All of the smallest things are thought of. We were travelling with a 4 month old baby and on arrival a microwave and steriliser had been put in our room so that we could sterilise bottles. Also a basket of baby bathing products. The breakfast is exceptional. The pool and gardens are beautiful.

Breakfast was great, just the one morning the waiter brought us a broken plunger. We ordered croissants with cheddar cheese on the side, but when it arrived, the placed the cheese inside the croissant. Room Service
