Zest Boutique Hotel

An absolutely wonderful hotel! The interior is beautifully designed – stylish and full of attention to detail. The staff deserve special praise: exceptionally warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. You feel welcome from the very first moment. A huge thank you to Chanel at the reception, who went above and beyond to help us with our missing luggage. She was incredibly supportive, contacting the airline and doing everything she could to make sure our suitcases were returned as quickly as possible – truly outstanding service! The breakfast was fantastic – fresh, varied, and of excellent quality. The in-room coffee machine was another lovely touch that made our stay even more enjoyable. We would definitely come back – highly recommended!

A great boutique hotel, lovely decor and everywhere is well kept. The staff are so friendly and helpful with a nice breakfast and even afternoon cake. Free tea and coffee all day!|You are an easy 10 minute wall to the Waterfront. There were some really nice restaurants near the hotel. |We stayed 6 nights and all the tours picked us up from the hotel. The hop on hop off bus we picked up from the Waterfront.|Would really recommend the Silver mist Drumstruck experience and organic wine tasting.

After staying at their hotel in Hermanus, I went to this hotel in Cape Town. And I was again amazed by the staff. Everybody is so friendly and helpful. It is small scale, so you really feel like coming home at the end of the day. Breakfast is great. The room was amazing. Very clean. Nice bed. The location is perfect, close to good restaurants and a supermarket in a safe area. So I would surely recommend this hotel.

The Zest Hotel was an unexpected delight and a highlight of our visit to Cape Town. The staff was very attentive. Tatenda, in Guest Services, took extra good care of us and went above and beyond in helping us with dinner reservations as well as local transportation. Natalie, the manager, made sure that everything ran smoothly. We were so surprised at the extensive hot and cold breakfast options which were included with the price of the room. Delicious! And what a lovely treat to have a freshly baked cake waiting for us in the lounge area each afternoon. Another delightful surprise was their gin and tonic bar. We just wished that we could have stayed there longer.

What a gorgeous beautifully appointed property with the loveliest staff who all without exception went the extra mile to make us feel at home. Our room was lovely and breakfasts fantastic, the daily freshly baked cake for afternoon tea is a special extra. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend ZEST for a well situated and memorable stay in CT

An absolutely fabulous experience here! Hotel is a beautiful botique hotel, tucked in a very quiet spot but just minutes to walk to the V&A Waterfront as well as numerous restaurants. Hotel was very well equipped, comfortable, spotless and quiet. Natalie and her team were beyond fantastic. Our luggage was lost upon arrival and every staff person became engaged in worrying for us and more importantly, helping us to get our luggage. No question without their help we would not have retreived our luggage in two days. And it felt like they were just as concerend as we were! Truly amazing and wonderful staff. Every single staff person we encountered was warm, friendly, welcoming and working so hard to ensure our needs were met. The icing on the cake was the owner of the hotel contacted me to thank me for staying there! This was my fourth trip to Cape Town and if I ever have the good fortune to go again, I would absolutely book Zest. I cannot recommend it enough. I wish all hotels were like this one. I have been travelling for work and pleasure for more than 40 years and have stayed at hotels around the world and this truly is an exceptional one. You will have an exerience unparalled.

We recommend 100% Zest Boutique Hotel - from day one they warmly welcomed us, helped us getting settled and with any questions we had. Breakfast was the BEST! the quality of the food and the service was excepcional. Thank you Malie and the entire team for making our stay unforgettable. We will definitely visit Cape Town again and stay at Zest Boutique. See you soon, thanks for everything!

This hotel is small, stylish and means you are so well looked after. We stayed for quite a few nights whilst in Cape Town. The interior is very stylish, including the small courtyard. The rooms are great. During the day it’s a very short walk down to the waterfront. At night, and for the airport transfers, the staff can arrange for ten driver Peter to help you, and he was really lovely, always able to bring us back after dinner. The breakfast was great, with a continental buffet and then cooked options off the menu. The staff went above and beyond to be helpful for us. They kindly held onto our spare luggage for a few days when we went elsewhere and then returned. A great boutique hotel option if you want to be central in Cape Town
