    One the best spot in Cape Town with an incredible view of the ocean from one side and the mountains from the other. Located exactly front of ocean between best restaurants and nightclubs. With a swimming pool on top and SPA on the bottom. From every possible side this hotel is the best.

    Exceptional experience! From the moment we stepped into the hotel, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort throughout our stay. The room was immaculate and beautifully appointed, with breathtaking views. The amenities surpassed our expectations, and the dining options were superb. We can't wait to return and indulge in this luxurious oasis again!

    Came here for my 40th birthday and this place is the very definition of excellent customer service. If I had a hotel, this would be how I would design it. When I checked in, they immediately greeted me by name. They know exactly who you are and want to ensure that your stay is a memorable one. Marly is right across from a beautiful beach which you can see table mountain from. The views are beautiful and the sunsets are amazing. The hotel is also on the same strip with dozens of bars and restaurants. So there is no shortage of places to eat and drink. The employees are really accommodating to whatever needs you have. If you want more water, tea or whatever, within 20 minutes it will be at your door. If you're looking for a great hotel, this is it. Look no further than the Marly. The only thing I wish they offered was a later check out. Unfortunately, we couldn't stay longer because the hotel was at full capacity. It doesn't change my view of the hotel. It just means that other guests see what I see... how great this hotel is. I am definitely coming back when I visit South Africa.

    Once again this hotel does not fail to disappoint. We checked into "deluxe room" no. 1 in the early afternoon. The room was hot from the setting sun so naturally we turn the aircon on. 40mins later the aircon is still not working so I phone reception who sends someone to check the aircon. He arrives at our room and starts pushing buttons on the remote without any success. After confirming the aircon is not working he leaves. Roughly 10mins later I phone reception to hear what is going on. Only to get told that the person that was in our room is now trying to "fix the aircon". (We get offered a fan. Seriously a fan!!) Quite a while later a technician and a hotel employee (the same one pushing buttons on the remote) comes back to the room. The technician is from a company called Airvent. They tell me the aircon " ran out of gas" and leaves the room. After another 20mins I phone the reception again, only to be told by the manager (Lungi) that the aircon is not broken. When I remind her that her own colleague admitted to the aircon not working, she repeatedly says the aircon is not broken. When I tell her the Airvent technician was in my room she repeats the same "the aircon is not broken" nonsense. When I ask her why the hotel would call Airvent she once again repeats the "aircon is not broken" Seriously, why don't you just own up. Rather stay at the Twelve Apostles, we never have any issues when staying there.

    We’ve stayed at the Marly by the end of November and we had a booking for 4 nights. Hotel is great, we visited the spa which was great, and we had visited a few of their restaurants and bars in the area. When the Omicron variant broke news and England started to close borders to SA, we had to rush home and we had to anticipate our return for one day. We explained the situation to the hotel and we asked the refund for the last night we wouldn’t stay. The answer we got from the management is that no refund would be sent to us as their cancellation policy does not preview this situations. Of course we were very disappointed, as we were expecting some flexibility given the circumstances, we even suggested to only get 50% of the refund and the answer was always the same. They offered us a credit to spend within 12 months, which was not very realistic as we live in London and we don’t know if we ever will come back to Cape Town. The hotel is lovely, location is very good in Camps Bay but given the position they took I would never come back as currently the flexibility when booking needs to be something to consider as things can shift very quickly and trips need to be anticipated all the time. It didn’t feel right how they managed and replied to us, and specially not giving us any kind of leeway.

    Everything about this hotel is 5 star. Every member of staff is friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. The food is excellent. If I was being super critical, sometimes service can be a little slow, but worth the wait. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough, if you are coming to Camps Bay, don't stay anywhere else.

    We’ve had excellent massages there before but this was utterly appalling for both my partner and I. Don’t offer specialist options (scalp & feet) if you don’t know what you’re doing. Actually had to ask the person to stop. Also never woken up sore after a massage. For a place of this calibre… not a vibe.

    Beautiful, clean, trendy hotel in the heart of Camps Bay. The location cannot be beat, with tons of surrounding restaurants and shops and the beach across the street. Our sea-facing room had spectacular views of the sunset every night. The service was top notch, especially by Pedro. He catered to our every need - from providing beach towels to arranging a private driver to explore the Cape - all with a smile and professionalism. We explored all over Cape Town, and after seeing other neighborhoods, we felt even more pleased with our decision to stay at the Marly in Camps Bay!

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting Marly Spa in Cape Town, and I must say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The spa is located in a stunning location overlooking the ocean, which provides a relaxing and calming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The facilities are immaculately clean and well-maintained, and the staff are extremely friendly and professional. The massage I received at Marly Spa was one of the best I've ever had. The masseuse was very skilled and attentive, making sure to focus on areas that needed extra attention. The massage left me feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated, and I couldn't have been more satisfied with the experience. After my massage, I headed up to the rooftop pool, which was an absolute delight. The pool is situated on the rooftop of the hotel and offers stunning views of the ocean and surrounding area. The water was a perfect temperature and the pool area was very peaceful and quiet, which made for a very relaxing afternoon. Overall, my experience at Marly Spa and the rooftop pool was fantastic. The location, facilities, and staff were all top-notch, and I would highly recommend this spa to anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing experience in Cape Town. If you're in the area, be sure to give Marly Spa a try – you won't be disappointed! I left Marly Spa feeling so relaxed and rejuvenated that I almost forgot where I parked my car. I guess you could say I was 'spa-tially challenged'!

    This place was 🔥🔥🔥. The views of the mountain were excellent. The hotel is very modern. Its location is prime - right across from the beach, though water is very cold and lots of restaurants nearby. For thise wondering, they have 4 load shedding isn't a concern. I also appreciate the staff laying out rose petals all over the room since it was our honeymoon. My wife loved it!

    What a fantastic hotel, such friendly and helpful staff, beautiful decor and scenic views. Additionally the restaurants associated with the hotel were amazing. Can’t wait to return!

  • 5/5 Fisokuhle N. 4 months ago on Google
    All that about this lodging is 5 star. Each individual from staff is cordial and supportive, nothing is a real problem. The food is magnificent. In the event that I was by and large really basic, once in a while administration can be a little sluggish, yet worth the stand by. I can't suggest this inn profoundly enough, assuming you are coming to Camps Cove, don't remain elsewhere.

    The Marly Boutique Hotel location is very convenient, very accessible and easy to find. The service from reception was welcoming, the food and everything was what i expected and more. A 5 star rating is well deserved.

    Amazing views, service was quick and helpful, rooms were clean and well decorated, and everything was reasonably priced. Definitely would recommend and will be coming back

  • 5/5 Dillon E. 6 months ago on Google
    Pros: -staff were amazing -food was the best we had in Africa -gym is clean and has a good amount of equipment -location is beautiful. Camps Bay is definitely the best location to stay in Cape Town -room was pristine, bed comfortable, and view 10/10 Cons: -the pool deck was closed and we weren't warned about this, however they did offer us the pool deck of the hotel next door -it is quite pricey, and I'm not sure I'd rate the value 5 stars, but maybe it's because we just picked a busy time when rates were higher

    The Marly was amazing. It's right in the center of the strip, beautiful view from the balcony right at the beach. The staff is 2nd to none. With so many restaurant choices nearby, you can't go wrong. This is the only place I'm staying when we come back next year.

    The Marley Hotel made our introduction to South Africa a memorable one! We had just gotten off a 12-hour flight and they welcomed us in so graciously. I don't think we ever met or walked by one of their staff members who didn't say hello. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable with our stay and we had everything we needed. The food was also noteworthy. Especially the breakfast! It's in a great location with stunning views. One one side, you look up at the amazing Table Mountain. On the other side, you get to gaze out at the amazing coast line with a stunning sunset. The hotel is located in a great area with tons of restaurants and not far from the city center and many other worthwhile sights. The rooftop terrace is a great place to enjoy an early morning coffee or a sunset cocktail. If you have the time, make sure to take advantage of their spa. My wife said she had the best facial and I enjoyed a much needed massage after our 12-hour flight. Go see it for yourself!

    My family visited it for 5 days and it was one of the best vacations we have ever had… The service and location was completely perfect. The restaurants were very accessible and and the view was splendid. Perminus was very friendly and helpful and cared about the guests. He had pleasant conversation with everyone while doing his job perfectly. The pool was very fun and beautiful with a great view. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the people helping us were very friendly. There is a ocean or mountain view room which are both beautiful.

    Beautiful place, very chilled roof top with bar and sweet pool. Friendly staff, clean rooms. I only wish if the pool is bigger! I hope they take that into consideration and expand the pool to make it a panoramic pool, which would be perfect.

    Stayed here for four nights at the start of our honeymoon trip in SA — BEYOND impressed by the entire hotel (service, staff, amenities, spa, food / drink, the room, the view). We absolutely loved our stay and appreciate the staff for going above and beyond to make us feel really really special!!! They could not do enough to make us feel welcome :) we already can’t wait to return here!

    The Marly hotel was a fantastic landing in Camps Bay for our first trip to Cape Town from Spain. The location is the perfect setting to admire the unique beauty and relaxed lifestyle that the city has to offer, the views of Table Mountain and the coast line are spectacular at any given time of the day. The hotel staff were all extremely friendly, welcoming and professional, willing to provide support with our requests during the stay to make sure we had a great experience. The Spa was a great way to recover after a hiking with superb treatment and breakfast was delicious everyday!

    Nice location, but the style of the hotel is very specific ;) the staff super friendly. We had to wait 45 min to have breakfast what they serve in the restaurant below. Nice hotel, but not a place we would stay again.

    One of the best hotels I've been to so far:-) It felt like family. Everyone was very warm hearted and sweet. The rooms are more than beautiful and the view is stunning 😍

  • 5/5 steven l. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a very special place located in one of the best beach towns in Cape Town. The staff was eager to please and accommodated all of our wishes. There are a bunch of restaurants attached to the hotel, all serving excellent food. I will be coming back to the Marly.

  • 5/5 Wojciech L. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent hotel situated in the heart of Camps Bay with numerous breathtaking views. Unique high quality interiors together with outstanding level of service make this place a special, boutique hotel in Cape Town. Dedicated staff, luxurious rooms, proximity of the beach and excellent restaurants, safety, cleanliness and taste will meet the expectations of every guest. Thank you for the wonderful time in your place!

    The beach is steps away. The hotel has an interesting layout. The staff is so gracious and helpful that you don't want to leave the hotel. They take care of you extremely well. The hotel is also in the heart of the beach community.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Marly Boutique Hotel and Spa, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I stepped into the grand lobby, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of sophistication and luxury. The attention to detail in the design of the hotel is impeccable. The rooms are spacious, elegantly furnished, and equipped with the latest technology to ensure a comfortable and convenient stay. The plush bedding and high-quality amenities added a touch of indulgence to my nights. The staff at The Marly Boutique Hotel and Spa are undoubtedly the epitome of hospitality. From the warm welcome at check-in to the personalized service throughout my stay, every interaction was marked by professionalism and a genuine desire to make my visit memorable. Special mention to the concierge team, whose recommendations for local attractions and dining options were spot-on. Dining at the hotel's restaurant was a gastronomic delight. The diverse menu offered a culinary journey that satisfied even the most discerning palate. The presentation of the dishes was a work of art, and the sommelier's expertise in suggesting the perfect wine pairings elevated the dining experience to new heights. The spa and wellness facilities at The Marly Boutique Hotel and Spa deserve special commendation. The state-of-the-art fitness center, relaxing spa treatments, and serene pool area provided a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. In summary, my stay at The Marly Boutique Hotel and Spa was an indulgent retreat into luxury. The combination of exquisite design, impeccable service, and top-notch amenities make it a true gem among 5-star hotels. I wholeheartedly recommend The Marly Boutique Hotel and Spa to anyone seeking a refined and unforgettable experience.

    I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. The service is great and the rooms are amazing. Clean and perfect. I'm giving it a 10 out 10. It is easy to locate it, you won't get lost. It is also a beautiful place, luxury at the best prices. Honestly feels good to have gone there and I'm definitely going back if I have to.
