#5 of 9 hotels in Sea Point & Bantry Bay by Axel's take. Sea Point & Bantry Bay is #4 of 8 places to stay in Cape Town. The best hotels in Sea Point & Bantry Bay, ranked · Where to stay in Cape Town

Axel's take: 8.2/10

A strong coastal base with welcoming staff, but check renovation disruption before booking. a large, resort-style 4-star near the Sea Point Promenade, scored for what it is.

The President is a large, resort-style 4-star in Bantry Bay, and a strong pick for combining Cape Town sightseeing with pool time. Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise the welcoming staff, spacious rooms and generous breakfast; cleanliness also scores well on Booking.com. The promenade and neighbourhood restaurants are close, while the Waterfront is a drive rather than a quick stroll. The hotel says its redesigned poolside opened in November 2025.

The trade-off is bustle rather than boutique quiet. Guests mention bar noise and crowded breakfasts, while September–October 2026 reviews published on Hotala report exterior renovations, construction noise and disrupted parking. Confirm the work affecting your dates and request a room away from entertainment areas. We'd skip it for a hushed retreat, but recommend it to families and couples wanting a comfortable coastal base.

  • Best for: families wanting resort-style facilities; couples combining sightseeing and pool time; travellers who enjoy promenade walks

  • Watch out for: recent reports of exterior renovation disruption; bar noise and busy breakfast periods; parking costs extra

  • Location: Close to the promenade and restaurants; the Waterfront is roughly a 10-minute drive.

  • Rooms: Generally spacious and comfortable; book the view category carefully and request distance from noisy public areas.

  • Cleanliness: A consistent strength across Booking.com scores and recent Tripadvisor and Expedia feedback.

  • Service: Warm, helpful staff are the clearest recurring positive, although some guests report slow room service.

  • Amenities: Outdoor pool, children's pool, spa, dining venues and family facilities; poolside was redesigned in 2025.

  • Fees and surprises: Parking and airport transfers cost extra; breakfast depends on your booking, and recent guests report exterior works affecting parking.
