Spring Tide Inn

We stayed at the Spring Tide for a week in May 2019 as a base to explore the city. The staff were helpful and friendly and made us feel welcome right away. It was great and I would definitely stay here again. The room was big and the bed was comfortable. The shower had a weird door that let a lot of water out onto the floor, but the water was hot and the pressure was strong. There was a TV (we never turned it on), a mini-fridge, and a hot water kettle for tea. We were upgraded to a room with a balcony which was nice. It only looked out onto the street but it was nice to sit outside when we brought our dinner home. The wifi was mostly strong, and it reached into our room which was great. There was an A/C in the room but we did not need to use it this time of year. The location is convenient to the Promenade, as well as local restaurants and grocery stores. It is only a few blocks to walk down to the stop for the Hop On Hop Off bus (which we got great use out of). But the best part was the breakfast. Jamilla was consistently amazing and cooked us eggs to order and breakfast meats, plus there was cereal, toast, juice, fruit, yogurt, and often muffins or croissants or something. We never left the table hungry! We were terribly jet lagged, and often fell asleep before it got dark out. So I can’t say what it is like outside at night, but we felt perfectly safe walking around during the day. As a side note, our Uber from the airport cost about 220 Rand. This isn’t a fancy hotel, but we found it to be very comfortable, convenient, and satisfying. Thanks to Spring Tide for making our stay in Cape Town so enjoyable!
