Comfortable hotel
The room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was wonderful. We ate on a balcony facing the ocean. Parking is free and convenient. The location is 1 block from the waterfront, but the street that the hotel is on is not very lively or inviting at night. Overall a great value!

Wonderful Location
We booked this hotel through expedia as part of a package deal and were not disappointed at all. I cannot commend the staff enough, they catered to every whim. We were in room 506 which is a Superior with King Bed and has a wonderful view of the sea. What better way to wake up to than to the sound of the sea crashing agains tthe rocks and the seagulls. Breakfast was plentiful and we never left the hotel hungry, there is always something for everyone, fruit, cereal, toast, eggs, juice, tea coffee pastries etc etc. Only gripe I have is that the towels are more like hand towels and I feel that bath sheets would be much better. Every other day we had to keep going to reception as our voucher codes let us down for wifi and also our key to the door kept losing entry and had to be rebooted. but no problem. Parking is free within the hotel as it is served by a shopping centre so if you do come and go during the day you will find this busy but we used to go out after breakfast and return later in evening and never had a problem at all. Checking in online the hotel allows this facility free of charge and also you can get ice bucket full of ice every evening and bring in your own drinks. Spar is very convenient but very expensive, worth the little further walk to checkers and you will be amazed at that selection.

Hotel in good location.
Hotel is in ideal location for Sea Point, Bantry Bay, Camps Bay. And for local public MYCITI mini bus service to any where in Cape Town. Very clean and great staff.

Hotel inconveniently not within shopping centre.
Safe to walk to shopping mall in daylight, but not at night. Inconvenient to pay for taxi or hotel service in order to get to mall and Guatrain.

Happy with our choice
We were very happy with our choice to stay at this hotel. We requested an early check in which was granted to us, the room was clean and the service was friendly. A few times our room keys didn't work and we had to get them re-programmed by the front desk staff. We were a little disappointed that beach towels weren't provided, even though the brochure in the room said that they were. When the hotel is so close to the beach, it would be a nice touch to provide towels. Aside from that, very happy with our stay, and would stay there again.

Good hotel, just sort out the room keys!
Good comfortable hotel. Breakfast is great, the rooms are well kept and the service offered by reception, bar and breafast is great. The only issue was having to constantly update the room key card and they were frequently not working. Even keeping them away from anything that could affect them didnt work. Our friends required the card updating everytime the left the room. Sort it out!

Great value
The New Kings is great value, if you don't need reliable wifi. The location is outside the tourist center near the beach, and just upstairs from a shopping area with Woolworth's (groceries), post office, hair salon, boutiques, and juice/coffee/Asian dining options. The hotel staff is super friendly and helpful and the room spacious, but a little awkward with the glass shower in the corner. The only issue was the wifi, which wasn't very fast and seemed to go out every now and then. Otherwise, a great hotel at a nice price.

Can thoroughly recommend this hotel. Everything was great - room, breakfast, staff.the breakfast was particularly good. When we had a problem (actually it was our son who was staying elsewhere) and had to check out early the management were very supportive and fair. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

Value for money
The hotel is well placed with no need to go out into the neighbourhood, all necessary amenities located on site. The room access system was a bit of an annoyance as it had to be reset each time I went out. All in all a very comfortable and value for money stay.

Couple's night out
As a returning customer, New King's has never disappointed and there was no exception this time. The staff are friendly, the rooms are well presented and the location is fantastic for a quiet retreat. The breakfast room is splendidly decorated and the food variety is great. Awesome start to the day. Won't think twice about returning when necessary.

Good value
This hotel was modern, and had some nice views-I had partial sea view. Though there is a separate toilet area-the shower is "part" of the room and doesn't afford much privacy, so keep that in mind if you are sharing the room with someone. The hotels is not very close to the waterfront or the sights. We misjudged the distance the one day & it took about an hour to walk back. A taxi to most places is about 60 Rands one way. Suggest you use the hop on hop off bus service (150 Rands for the day) if you are by yourself and want to go to multiple places. Great option. Chantelle the manger was very, very helpful. I had to make reservations at the last minute for 10-12 people, and she was able to coordinate everything quite smoothly. Additionally, she helped us with day trips so we were able to get a lot accomplished in a short period of time. Couple of improvements: the access cards to the rooms would get de-magnetized very easily & was quite frustrating. Wi-Fi is a real hassle (when it works). You need security codes which are easily provided, but for most of my 4 day stay there the Wi-Fi connection was very poor, and did not work most of the time. Real challenge if you need it for work etc.

Great location at the edge of Seapoint
I am very pleased with the hotel, the room was fantastic and the mountain view superb. I liked the friendly staff and the location, just 20 minute drive from the airport. The surrounding shops and cafes made it easy lo like, and the underground parking was convenient to come and go as you wish. The breakfast buffet was very good and the ocean view from the terrace was nice even with the 'visiting' Seagulls..

Extremely comfortable with exceptionally helpful staff, especially the reception staff for whom no request was unreasonable. The only reason I presume the hotel has not got 5 official stars is lake of pool and gym.

New Kings is good
Hotel was spacious comfortable bed and acceptable level of cleanliness. The breakfast was good however if you stay there for a few days, the spread doesn't changes. Can be quite boring but still good food, delicious! Lovely view from the breakfast place. Good location with supermarket and wine cellars just below, quite safe around the vicinity,

Good rates , great rooms , nice buffet breakfast , and convenient location in Sea Point only two minutes walk from the beach and 60 secs from the open top bus stop which is a great way to see Cape Town btw.

Good location and facilities.
We were very impressed with the quality of this hotel. Having stayed in Cape Town before, we were looking to match a central location with a reasonable price and good, clean accommodation. This hotel scored on all points and the bonus of free parking and wifi in the room was most welcome. One of the best budget hotels that we have stayed in and we will definitely consider returning here when we are next in Cape Town. The reception staff were particularly friendly and helpful.

Hotel is close enough to the promenade and also has a bustling grocery store and restaurant area just downstairs. The shower was not clean enough in my opinion but the rooms are cute and the view (we had seaside view) made up for it a bit.

The hotel is located in a very good place, breakfast is good, rooms are great and spacious, but don't rely on the Internet and always make sure you re-confirm issues with the management. Frankly i enjoyed my stay in the hotel only the accommodation problems we had.

I enjoyed staying at the hotel. Entering and finding the hotel was an extremely tricky affair. I circled the area several times before finding it. The room was spacious, however, the lack of privacy when in the shower is quite disturbing. Were it not for the steam coming from the hot water, there would be no privacy at all. Everything else was tip-top. Helpful, friendly staff.

Nice small hotel close to the city and to Clifton and Camps Bay. The only real negative issue was the WIFI which is free but when I stayed did not work Sunday and Monday. Nice breakfast lounge and easy parking at 690 Rand per room makes it a good deal in town

Great ideas well executed
I consider myself lucky to have experienced this hotel for such a special price. It is beautifully designed and built, with various great ideas that I've just never seen elsewhere. For example, they had filter coffee and a plunger in the room! Another example: the shower is in the room and the toilet is locked away. This means that the sink is NOT in the toilet, so you don't have to get potable water from the toilet. The staff are extremely courteous. I really wish I could have stayed a week. I hope to stay longer one day.

A little different - but still great
Great Hotel with super rooms - and mine had a great sea view. Location can be noisy - but this did not worry me. Easy access to sea front promenade and shops - super convenient. Staff friendly - and helpful. Hotel is quiet 'disjointed' as same lift serves part of the shopping centre - and other service type businesses. But really not a major issue - just don't expect a conventional hotel 'set up'. Will be back.

Pricey for what you get.
Hotel is crammed into a city neighborhood and entering/leaving the parking garage is a pain. King size bed was really two smaller beds pushed together. Room was nice enough and service was friendly and helpful. All in all we felt it was overpriced for what you get (no pool or jacuzzi?) but thats the way it is in a bustling tourist city like cape town.

An excellent hotel in all respects. Being above the second floor of a small shopping mall not easy to find but in fact very convenient with a free underground secure garaging. Only a few minutes from Camps Bay but much cheaper. Large rooms with I-Pod connection but, and the only criticism, no fridge. Superb breakfast included.
