“The Bay Hotel undoubtedly occupies prime Camps Bay real estate, but I get the sense its best days are behind it. Reading between the lines, some infrastructure issues and inconsistent service seem to have taken a toll. Still, the location remains a major draw, and I'd hope management addresses these concerns to revive its former appeal.”

The hotel's location across the street from the beach provided fine sunset views. The included hot breakfast was a great start to each day. The bar on the second floor offered a warm fire during the spring nights. The helpful staff ensured any needs were addressed promptly.
The room service menu had limited options after 10 pm.

Mediocre stay, some issues

good locationfaulty air conditioningunavailability
The location right across from the beach WAS pretty good.
I booked two rooms. One wasn't even available upon arrival. They offered an upgrade for ONE night, then a move. The air conditioning needed repair TWICE. Some things like the bath plug just didn't work. I WAS disappointed.
