Dolphin Beach Hotel Self Catering Apartments

This place used to be a nice and convenient hotel. Stayed here 2 years ago and at that time it needed TLC. Now coming back again the place is totally deteriorated ! No maintenance is done on the rooms and aside of the fact that it is not at all welcoming there health and safety issues too: smoke alarm deconstructed, electrical wiring loose. Furniture is not from this era aside of this its filthy. Carpets are stained or ripped. Cabinet doors broken and hanging out of their hinges. The location right at the sea is the only attraction the hotel rooms surely not! For same amount you will find much better places. Personnel is not geared for the hospitality service - or any customer oriented support. Booked a sea view room and was put in H16 - facing a building ! They changed it to H15 not that I would call the view of this room ‘sea view’ so the mentioning of sea viewing rooms is misleading ! Not again - pity as it used to be a lovely place - avoid it now !

What a gem find Dolphin Beach Hotel was. Local stay for me and my little family We will be back soon

Always good to stay with this friendly bunch of helpful people. The reception is always helpful and friendly. Will stay with them again.

We stayed in one of the family rooms (number 17) at the end of September 2024. The weather was great and we had some lovely views of Table Mountain, although somewhat restricted by the adjacent apartment. The sparkling pool was just below us, but was too cold for a plunge. The room was cleaned every day. The beds were comfortable. There's a smart TV and wifi in the room for added entertainment. The hotel has several access gates to a semi-private beach which was clean. There's a very nice lawn area stretching the length of the hotel with a jungle gym for the kiddies. Reception staff were very helpful on check in and throughout our stay. The restaurant was great, though we only went once. The hotel is very close to several restaurants and shopping centres. We would certainly stay here again when we plan a trip to the area again.

Nothing beats this hotel for service and the view of Table Mountain and the sea. The restaurant boasts stunning views and the buffet breakfast is excellent. Will definitely visit again.

The hotel’s choice of picture (table mountain view) for the sea view apartments is misleading, false advertising even. I was allocated room H16 which has no view of the table mountain, just a big building in front and the sea view over the roofs. The apartments have ground units and upper units and I assume the upper units have better views. The difference in units in this category can be better explained while booking so one knows exactly what to expect rather than get disappointed when you get a room H16
