Jambo Guest House — Hotel in Green Point

The photos correspond to what it really is. The breakfast was tasty and fresh, but boring - every day the same and limited in options. One would expect better juices for that type of guesthouse. The rooms were always clean. The bed pretty hard, it's a matter of taste obviously. The area is peaceful, but not much interesting around. The owners were flexible with check-in time. Not much with the breakfast. We were refused to have an earlier breakfast or packed sandwich when going to safari, while other couple had breakfast earlier. We didn't like not even treatment of all guests. The owners were kind and chatty, sometimes pushy in selling hop-on hop-off bus tickets or local services. If you have nothing organized in the trip, it might be helpful. Otherwise it might feel intrusive. Book this place if you want daily chat with the owners, if you are ready to share your day with others, if you want more personal treatment. Do not book if you are reserved person and prefers to be anonymous. Overall the place has 'soul', it's style and much more unique design than white wall rooms in many...

The guesthouse is the longtime house of a graceful couple who have very interesting stories to tell about their multicultural adventures. Every part of the house is uniquely decorated with an artistic taste, which offers a very different experience than impersonal hotel spaces. You can see Mina's paintings around the walls. The garden is an absolute joy to spend time in. I stayed in the Garden Room and the Bay Room, both of which I fell in love with. Breakfast, particularly the pastries, are delicious. The bar also offers a unique experience, especially if Barry plays the guitar and sings... Barry and Mina took the time to give the detailed touristic information we needed from a local perspective. They are also kind and warm, so you do feel the personal connection with the hosts. It was a joy to stay...

It was a lovely 4 nights stay. The proprietors Barry and Mina are great hosts. Booked the suite there. Room was nice and clean with a great jacuzzi.||Barry was very informative about what can be done to make your experience in cape town better. He is a good conversationalist too. ||The property has a small garden which i loved it. There were loads of beautiful paintings and pictures in the house which i loved. The bed in the suite was amazingly soft. Room was big and Barry even allowed us to check out an hour later too. The property is located near the cape town stadium and there is a beautiful huge garden once you cross the main road. The waterfront is just a 15 mins walk from there and the neighbourhood is safe.||I wish Barry and Mina the best and hope to stay there again...
