We booked this hotel via www.booking.com and paid R1,500 for a room with sea view. This hotel was for our final night in SA after a two-week touring holiday from Durban. Upon arrival the hotel looks quite smart and whilst checking-in you can see the most magnificent view from the hotel restaurant called Salt (read restaurant reviews on Trip Advisor).... More

Clean hotel but pool murky throughout stay. Lift broken for two days ( we were on 6th floor), reading reviews it seems fairly common. Service ok. Money stolen out of zipped pouch inside my suitcase. Management made appropriate noises but nothing done. Does have good breakfasts and great view from restaurant. Good location. More

We stayed at the Ambassador for ten nights in Novembert 2011. Our room was at the side of the building with a partial sea-view and we also had a large terrace/patio area which would have been pleasant to use if the guests in the rooms above had not kept using it as an ash-tray. I pointed this out to the... More

We stayed at the Ambassador Hotel in Bantry Bay (Cape Town) for two nights in April 2012. My boyfriend is South African and he remembered it being nice many years ago. Unfortunately the problem is that it has not undergone a refit or even received a lick of paint in all those years. I would highly recommend giving this hotel... More

Hi, We stayed at the Ambassador hotel during April 2012. The property is divided on two sides of the main road. The hotel is closer to the rocky beach cliff and has good views. It also has the main reception, restaurant etc. On the other side of the road, you have the self catering apartments. We had accommodation at the... More

What a lovely Hotel, with great position and outstanding staff. Everyone was friendly and welcomming. The driving up to the front door was a nice touch with your staff parking your car at any given time of the day or night. The Champagne, fruit and rose petals was such a lovely surprise, we just loved that , Thankyou so much... More

We spent 2 nights in the 2 bedroom apartment on the 5th floor and it was great. The view was spectacular, the rooms clean and large as well as huge bathrooms and a little kitchen with a fridge, stove, microwave so that you could really make yourself feel at home. There was a lounge come dinning room and it is... More

We had 8 nights staying at the Ambassador Hotel over Easter. Staff were helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. Staff helped with an early check in after a long flight. Daily breakfast (included in our room tariff) was excellent, with fantastic views over the ocean to start each day from Salt Restaurant. We had one evening meal at Salt restaurant... More

My wife and I spent two days at this hotel. A very nice hotel, helpful staff and very good food quality. The only one point we didn't like about this hotel is the bathroom. It was very small. However, we liked the staff, especially the receptionist Omri, who was ready to help in everything we requested. More

We stayed at The Ambassador for ten nights in January 2012 on our Honeymoon and had a faultless stay. The friendly staff facilitated a slightly early check in after our 13 hour flight which we very much appreciated! We didn't have a sea view room but we did get given one with a large terraced area with two beach beds... More
