Sw1 Lodge Reviews

9.0/10

United Kingdom, May 2023

The location of the hotel is ideal, nestled in a safe and residential neighborhood in the beautiful Cape. Guests can explore nearby nature reserves, wineries, and golf courses, making it a perfect spot for couples seeking adventure and relaxation. the rooms boast attention to detail, including cozy fireplaces and thoughtful amenities like fruit baskets and a warm ambiance upon returning from a day out.

There is one aspect of the hotel that did not meet our expectations.

7.8/10

United Kingdom, April 2023

An absolutely luxurious stay at this hotel! From my arrival, I was blown away by the exclusive amenities and stunning decor that made me feel like a VIP. the secluded garden area with beautiful sun loungers was my favorite part of the hotel. Every morning, I enjoyed a delicious breakfast exclusively made for me in the private facilities of my room. the staff was very professional and accommodating, always fulfilling my needs.

There were no BBQ facilities available, but this minor issue was not a big deal for me since there were many other options that were nearby. my personal experience at this hotel was exceptional, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience luxury at its finest.

We were amazed by the beautiful African art in our room at SW1 Lodge. The attention to detail and unique decor added to the true spirit of Africa. The staff went above and beyond, upgrading our room when they saw I was on crutches. The breakfast buffet was delicious, and the hot cooked breakfast was a delight. I highly recommend this hotel for an unforgettable stay.

United Kingdom, January 2023

Great location for exploring nearby attractions and comfortable accommodations. the staff provided great customer service and helpful local recommendations. the hotel had a charming garden and common areas for guests to enjoy during their stay.

The rooms were a bit small, and the decor was not particularly modern. the breakfast options were a bit limited and didn't offer many healthy choices.
