Amazing stay

I had the pleasure of staying at the Alphen Boutique Hotel in the Constantia area of Cape Town, and it was an exceptional experience. The property is absolutely amazing, blending modern conveniences with the charm of traditional Cape Dutch heritage. The facilities were fantastic, the service was truly first-class, and everything was spotlessly clean. I would definitely return – a perfect balance of luxury and heritage. Highly recommended!

Updated old Cape elegance in a pastoral setting

Despite the fact that the Alphen is undergoing renovations and it was during Level 3 lockdown- we would t even have known. Our suite was impeccable- loved the 2 bathrooms! The complimentary bottle of wine was much appreciated and the Marshall blue tooth speaker was a nice touch. The lovely receptionist, who’s name escapes me was delightful and couldn’t do enough for us! I wish I didn’t have to depart at the crack of dawn to make my flight, but fortunately my companion was able to have a delicious breakfast and enjoy a leisurely morning.

Great boutique hotel!

The staff was very polite, even incoming employees were able to identify us by room number and minor travel details we had shared at check-in. They did their best to make sure everything was taken care of. Location was great midway between airport and Cape Town happenings. Couldn't have asked for a better hotel to start our vacation.

Luxury hotel perfect to explore southern cape

We used this hotel as our base to get to Kirstenbach, Table Mountain, Boulders Beach, and other things in the southern cape. We felt like we were living in the lap of luxury. Very quiet rooms and beautiful grounds. Breakfast is great. A bit of a drive to get to downtown Cape Town. No elevators.

Wonderfully luxurious hotel, great service

Alphen was a luxurious experience in the heart of Constantia, a must-do area of Cape Town on a visit. Restaurants formal and informal were great. Rooms were comfortable and service was attentive. Slight concerns around some of the more dated furniture not being appropriate for basic needs like storing clothing. Also, not a lot of lounge area for generally passing time or doing work.

Alphen - Great accommodation. Shame about the food

An absolute gem of a hotel, but sadly just experienced the worst dining experience available. Dined at their Five Rooms restaurant. Had to send back half of my main course (bland and tasteless), and worse still one of my guests suffered the worst food poisoning imaginable the next morning. For the money charged it was a huge let down.

beautifully renovated historic property in the hea

stayed for a week from the 22 march and celebrated my wife's birthday in the 5 Rooms restaurant . Both restaurant and the Amazing suite which accommodated us oozed charm and ambiance. Our daily breakfast in the La Belle bakery was either under the historic oaks outside or when cooler inside in the atmospheric interior . Alphen seems to have got the balance between modernity and modernistic just right . Service was always good but the front desk could have been more knowledgeable about confirming airline tickets and the Cape Town sights. All in al a very rewarding visit .Would definitely return . A car is essential to access the Cape Peninsula.

Overall, a positive experience. The hotel setting is really lovely, the staff are pleasant and the room was great. The major negative was the consistently poor, slow service in the main restaurant (cafe la Belle), which is best avoided in the evenings, particularly.
