Wonderful stay, at an ideal safe and quiet location only 10mins to the beach. Great value, and breakfast is even included in the price. Lovely host where nothing was too much trouble. Rooms are basic but bed is very comfortable with crisp linens. Soft towels and quality shampoo and body wash are provided. I’d definitely stay again without hesitation.

Breakfast is good but only offered between 8 and 10 am . Most of our excursions picked us up at or before 8. We were not given a code for the entry gate on the first day and were locked out. The second day we had the code , but not the key to the front door. They lock up at 7. We came back from dinner and we were locked out again . Staff were very friendly and room was clean

My experience with them has led me to believe that they are misleading customers; I reserved a certain guest room in advance. When I went to check in, I discovered that my room had been switched to this little one, but they had not even informed me of the change. When the gentleman at the front desk showed me the room, I told him right away that it wasn't the one I had booked or paid for. He requested that I present him with my receipt and the room description that I had reserved.and he acknowledged that my room had been switched; said don't worry, I'll attempt to find out with the management or owner. He try and to reach out with them through the phone and find out why they change room , to switch the room with other guest if that is possible or to return my money however, they didn’t pick up I waited 1hr and 45 min .The funny thing is he knew that like they didn’t pick up because they missed up he said “I the manager did something intentional; they always pick up the phone for in case of emergency if the front desk personnel called from the landline.”long story short I didn’t stay there I left and booked another hotel. There are very good hotel like Mojo hotels and city lounge with very adorable prices …. Please don’t waste your money there very fraud , disrespectful and also they don’t communicate once you pay your money they don’t know you. Please people of color think about it before you book here. I am very disappointed and very sad about the whole situation..

Warm and friendly welcome to Cape Town

We had a lovely stay at Finchley Guest House. They were very friendly and welcoming, and accommodating with our late check-in when our flight was delayed. Our room was clean and just as we expected it to be. Breakfast was delicious. Location and ocean view was beautiful.
