Sea Castle Hotel Camps Bay

Amazing location right on the beach with great views. The staff were extremely friendly and went out of their way to help me with my bags and getting settled. When my flight was delayed and I had to stay longer they were very accommodating. I had a beautiful room right off the pool. This would be my first choice hotel to stay at again if I returned to Camps Bay!

The Primi has one of the best locations along this beautiful stretch of beach at Camps Bay. It’s no more than a five minute walk to all the restaurants etc that make this such a hotspot for tourists and locals alike. Our room was of great size with excellent sleep quality and superb walk in showers . All you could want and more. The breakfast was terrific with a buffet and a menu of hot specialties, you could also order off piste if there was nothing took your eye. The service and staff made it for us . Andrew was a gentleman and sorted a minor problem we had during our first day quickly and efficiently. After that we were fine. It also boasts a small pool for the brave and the balconies offered some incredible sunsets . Can’t put a price on those ! All in all , we found The Seacastle excellent value for money considering everything and have no hesitation recommending. Enjoy !

The Good - Lovely decorated rooms, we had a small terrace which had no views, but we were fine with that. (Room1) Staff were friendly enough. Great location by the beach. Muffins at Breakfast were to due for!!! The Bad- We could hear the staff downstairs talking all night. We were by the back door, so had people walking in the hall coming back from a night out, so noisy. We didn’t feel we could trust that nothing would be taken due to a letter in our room stating that anything left in the rooms were at our own risk and not the hotels fault if stolen, seen these letters before in hotels, but this just felt a bit dodgy. Parking it was a nightmare. They only have 4-5 spaces and even the staff said some cars parked there diodnt belong to the hotel. It was terrible. To find the place is horrendous! You need to go round the back of the hotel, down a one way street, you will see a small sign called Seacastle. This is where you park, but only on the left hand side. We then made the mistake of trying to get into th wrong building by going upstairs. What you need to do, is go down the end of the parking area, turn left and go past the spa area, there is a door on you right hand side on the far end. You then go downstairs to reception. They really need a sign in the car park, on the room and to state where to go! It was not a great start to our time here in Primi Seacastle and really put a damper on the whole trip due to it taking so long to find anything! Breakfast was ok. The best thing was the muffins. Other than that, its nothing special. However, I ma sure it will be nicer if you can sit outside with a lovely sea view.

Andrew and his team at Primi Seacastle were extremely friendly and helpful and provided several useful tips. The room was very tastefully decorated, had all necessary amenities, with a view over the ocean. Beach is just on the other side of the road, shops, restaurants and the stop of the Hop-On/Hop-Off bus are three minutes walk away. If Camps Bay is not enough to make you want to stay much longer in Capetown, the Primi Seacastle Hotel should be! Very highly recommended!!

This boutique hotel was beyond expectations. The staff are friendly and helpful, the beach is across the road and the view is to die for!! This is our first time in Cape Town and we’re so happy we booked, easy access to the beach and the local restaurants/bars. The rooms are very nice and clean, and the staff helped us book multiple trips out and restaurant reservations (Thank you Andrew and team). I’m currently sitting on the balcony, beer in hand and looking at the stars and listening to the waves. Such a great place.

Primi Castle is located right at the beach in Camps Bay, Capetown. Our rooms/apartments were facing the ocean, each with their own terrace/balcony with, in our case, a table and chairs and 2 sunbeds. If it gets too hot you can open the umbrella. The room we had was spacious, well equipped and above all very clean. And, as an exception to the rule in South Africa, everything was in working condition and in one piece. We always bring some small tools with me, just in case, but we did not need them. The fridge in the room and the little kitchenette were also a welcome feature. The one thing I could not fix was the scheduled powercuts (called loadshedding) by the National Power company ESKOM. Although we have stayed at locations where they installed generators to cope with this, Primi Castle does not have one (yet), or only a small one for the office, because the WIFI kept working (our room was situated near the office). They do supply portable lights and also place them in the corridors. Being on holiday this was not a big deal for us. Made us appreciate the fact that at home there is always power. Breakfast was served in the breakfastroom/bar/pool-deck and had plenty options to choose from. But the best at Primi is the friendly staff. Especially Andrew and Gloria from the reception are great and make you feel welcome. In short: we will definitely be staying there when visiting the Cape.
