The Hotel was lovely and with a big attention for details. We got a cozy and big room with a privat garden.
The stuff was amazing : both shifts: Domingos and Sheley were Fantastic and very helpful and kind.
We love the place and the vibes and the hotel
Is basically walking distance form everything.
We walked twice to the Waterfront Mall and we felt safe all the way and enjoyed a pleasant walk.
We also meet the German owner who was very kind and warm.
We will come back cause CPT is amazing.

I am a remote worker and detrimentally rely on availability of Wifi. During entire stay, Wifi never worked in room.
Unlike most “boutique” properties in Cape Town, This property DOES NOT have a generator. This means, when load shedding (power outage) occurs twice daily, you will have no AC in your room without ability to safely move around or sleep in room.
If you’re unlucky enough to get Room 5, please know that a random key is floating around according to Fred, a representative of property. Someone left the property without key and no one at property thought it was a safety risk to have a key floating around. Instead, management decided not to change the locks and give me the spare key. This leads to the next issue—(lack of) housekeeping.
Management thought it was smart to have only one spare key for Room 5, which I had since the previous guest did not return key and they couldn’t bother changing the locks. Management didn’t tell me until the very last day of my stay after multiple requests were made to clean my room. On the last night before I left, management told me the the reason housekeeping didn’t clean was because they didn’t have a key.
This property is a joke.
If you are considering this property, I would suggest looking elsewhere at a property that is committed to safely, cleanliness, and customer experience. This property is not.

A lovely hotel in a great location. Staff were really friendly and welcoming, service was great. My only negative was the size of our room (we had room 9) which was quite small. I’ve since realised the hotel does have larger rooms so if you’re looking for a bit more space make sure you pick one of the other rooms.

Lovely boutique hotel in a quiet neighborhood near the waterfront and city center. Hotel staff were kind and helpful. I miss seeing Shelly's smile every morning!! She was so kind! Communication with the staff prior to our visit was fantastic. They organized airport transportation and a Langa Township tour with an excellent tour company.

Clean and comfortable room. The hotel staff were super friendly and helpful. Easy daytime walk to waterfront and V&A.
5.0
This was, for us, one of the nicest places we have stayed anywhere in the world. Certainly, in this specific instance and for us, the location, the personal interest and overall "vibe" was incredibly nice. Our contact with all staff and management was low-key but welcoming from my first booking efforts to the very end and beyond -- based on my booking a final day excursion through the Dysart's recs and assistance and letting that service deliver us to the airport promptly and with very modest concern. Did we love the Dysart? YES. Yeah, the breakfast food was amazing also!

This small (10 rm) boutique-like hotel was a neighborhood gem! Close to everything in Green Point. Wonderful staff; best breakfast I’ve ever had traveling. (included). Would return in a minute. Our room had sea view of Robben Island.

Dysart is an intimate boutique hotel. Our stay was wonderful , management go the extra mile to accommodate you and make it feel like a home away from home. Shelly was amazing, she really makes the hotel five star. Hotel has stunning pool areas, and is walking distance to shops and restaurants. Will definitely go back.

Dysart has potential to be great. The location is excellent and the building is quite nice. Unfortunately we had a really strange check in experience and received some awkward pressure from the owners upon providing feedback that our room smelled of chlorine. Overall we may have just had an unlucky day and have to stress that the rest of the staff, for the most part, was really great.

We loved our stay at Dysart. As it's a boutique hotel we really felt at home, enjoyed our chats with all the lovely staff and had a great and comfortable time

We stayed here six years ago and nothing has changed so felt that it could do with some modernising, such as the decor, the TV needs HD and more stations. Dennis and Shirley are the stars of this hotel, they will do everything to make your stay comfortable. Do not accept room number 1, because the noise from the outside air conditioning unit will lead to sleepless nights, it switches off at 3 am! They did offer a room change the next night but we used our ear plugs and tired from our day trips so fell asleep quickly. Felt that the owner should have been more friendly. Location is good for VA and Green Point.

Location good, but views of the sea incumbered by large buildings. Furniture and furnishings not that comfortable-- for millennials. Dennis was very helpful with reservations and information about Cape Town must-see sites and South African socio-political dynamics. Poor TV system.
2.0
Mix up with the rooms initially but the staff did everything they could to make it right. The fact the room I had booked had been given to someone else did make me feel a little cheated as it was expensive.
The staff are amazing so friendly and helpful. Property Needs a bit of TLC i.e a fresh lick of paint but I did enjoyed staying there very much.

Great boutique hotel in good location. Lovely plunge pool, friendly staff and convenient location.
10.0
The staff put customers at the heart of everything they do. This differentiates DysART Boutique Hotel as other hotels may say this but to get that special feeling of being well looked after its all in the little details (the welcome, the nice conversations over breakfast / a glass of wine by the pool, the flexibility in service offers to guest, going the extra mile etc. I have stayed in hotel around the world and this stood out for me as one of the best in terms of overall value. The rooms are modern, well designed, spacious and comfortable. The breakfast is great and the overall ambiance around the pool is spot on.
8.0
The hotel was tucked away on a quiet street. The staff were all very helpful and breakfasts were good. We could walk to the Victoria and Albert waterfront, about 15 minutes.

My friend and I absolutely loved this boutique hotel. It was beautiful (I am a designer) and you can see that the owner(a) spent time on details. The location was also great and the service impeccable. Loved the breakfast. We will for sure stay there again when and if back to SA.
2.5
Lovely hotel and both Dennis and the staff are lovely. Bit out of the way and drivers hadn't heard of it so make sure you have an map and roaming to get there but will def be staying again. Room and bathroom gorgeous with private terrace and outdoor shower (as well as indoor) Only two downsides - lack of power sockets and bed a bit lumpy but still a great stay.

Experience was great and staff very friendly. The breakfast could use a revamp. There was a very basic cold breakfast served. Hot breakfast was a special order and some basics (like beef sausages) not available

This lovely little hotel is absolutely perfect. Staff cannot do enough for you and the entire place oozes relaxation. I shall 100% definitely book this place for any future Cape Town trip as it is perfect.

Very nice location, on walking distance of Waterfront. Very helpfull and friendly staff. Breakfast was served outside and was very good. rooms are very nice. Number 10 is the best. We had a nice upgrade to this room with a nice private patio. Will definitely go back next time! Will recommend it if you like small hotels.

In a residential area, but close to the Waterfront and stadium, we enjoyed the location and the property. Particularly enjoyed Dennis and his special attention to detail and his great personality!

This hotel is OUTSTANDING!!! Wonderful Staff and nice cozy feel. I highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Cape Town. It's a safe neighborhood and close to everything. I can't say enough good things about this place.
5.0
We had the best time ever at the hotel. The staff were amazing and looked after us so well. The room was beautiful with a love seat on the balcony positioned perfectly to watch the sun go down. The breakfasts were superb with a great selection of delicious foods. A short walk down to the V and A waterfront or a quick Uber in to town makes for a great location. Would highly recommend this place, nothing to fault at all.

This hotel was just... OK. It had a ton of 5-star reviews, so we booked it. The staff is very nice and breakfast is excellent. But...
-The hotel is in a residential neighborhood, and taxis had a tough time finding it.
-The phone was disconnected the entire time. No way to call the hotel.
-The hotel is a good 30 minute walk from the waterfront, not as close as the impression I was given. It is also a 15 minute cab ride away.
-Every hotel service I was offered was much more expensive than if booked outside. A hotel taxi to the airport, offered at 320 Rand, we got outside for 200. A Cape Point tour, offered at 2,500 Rand, we got for 1,800.
Not a bad hotel by any means, but definitely less than we expected.

Dysart is a very nice small hotel in a very good location in Cape Town. It is quiet, the rooms are nice, it is reasonably priced for the location, and the staff is quite helpful. The hotel is located where a reasonable walk will get you to the waterfront. There are several decent restaurants located a few blocks away. Do remember that this is a "Boutique Hotel" with only a few rooms. For us, that is a bonus. We prefer small and quiet inside of a very busy Cape Town. This does mean no gym, no on site restaurant or real room service, and no 24 hour concierge. There is 24 hour security and someone is always near the front desk. It feels very safe. For some people the lack of services might be a concern. That is not a complaint, but understanding what a small boutique hotel means. It probably is not a good place for some smaller children because some of the art is a little bit mature.
