Huislike atmosfeer, "home away from home". Karen se gasvryheid is ongelooflik.

Verblyf was heerlik. Sal vir seker weer van Dolphin Inn Guesthouse gebruik maak.

Went for the most expensive room (anniversary). Everything you need. Fabulous views, friendly staff.

Peeking into some of the other rooms, revealed each a little different, but generally spacious, very clean. Enjoyed the relaxed, unstuffy and laid-back feel of the Inn and will certainly pop in again sometime soon. This spot is not posh (thankfully) but super enjoyable. We could sit on that balcony all day sipping vino and working through a baguette and bits.

Lekker ligging reg op die Promenade.

Ek het vir jare verby die klein geel gastehuis gehardloop wat op die Promenade wat staan tussen al die fancy nuwe toring woonstelblokke. As 'n nou besoeker aan Kaapstad, kon ek nie anders as om daar te bly vir die Two Oceans naweek nie. Die Dolphin Inn het nie teleurgestel nie. Die kamer was ruim, netjies en skoon, die einaars vriendelik en die ontbyt lekker. Die plek het 'n lekker gevoel en die ligging is uitstekend, slegs so 25 meter van die Promenade en see af. Die Oranjezicht City Farm Market and V&A Waterfront is naby, Camps Bay en Clifton ook. Dan is dit naby aan die stadion vir rugby en die snelwee is toeganklik vir as jy wil gaan wynproe ens. Ek sal dit definitief aanbeveel as 'n basis om Kaapstad vanaf te "explore".

Nice location right on the Promenade.

For years I ran past the little yellow guest house that stood on the Promenade between all the fancy new tower blocks of flats. As a recent visitor to Cape Town, I couldn't help but stay there for the Two Oceans weekend. The Dolphin Inn did not disappoint. The room was spacious, neat and clean, the owners friendly and the breakfast delicious. The place has a nice feel and the location is excellent, only about 25 meters from the Promenade and sea. The Oranjezicht City Farm Market and V&A Waterfront are nearby, as are Camps Bay and Clifton. Then it is close to the stadium for rugby and the highway is accessible if you want to go wine tasting etc. I would definitely recommend it as a base to "explore" Cape Town from.

Skoon en netjies, vriendelike ontvangs.

Gerieflike oornagplek met lekker ontbyt met 'n uitsig oor die see as jy nie 'n see-uitsig kamer gekies het nie. Mina wat ons ontvang het, was deurentyd baie vriendelik. Het gedurende beurtkrag kragopwekker gehad sodat ek ten volle kon voortgaan met wat ek wou doen.

Lekker, vinnige sakereis.

Amina het ons warm verwelkom en was baie geduldig met ons swak kommunikasie terwyl ons van een vergadering na die ander gejaag het. Die kamer was heerlik. Die wifi was egter nie orals in die kamer beskikbaar nie en het dalk 'n seinversterker nodig. Die badkamerlig het ook nie gewerk nie, maar ek vermoed dit was net 'n uitgeputte gloeilamp. Die ontbyt was heerlik en Amina het vriendelik al vier koffies vir my bodemlose aanvraag geskink. Die ligging is perfek en ek wens ek het meer tyd gehad om langs die promenade te draf.

Nice, quick business trip.

Amina gave us a warm welcome and was very patient with our poor communication as we rushed from one meeting to another. The room was lovely. However, the wifi was not available everywhere in the room and may need a signal booster. The bathroom light didn't work either, but I suspect it was just a dead bulb. The breakfast was delicious and Amina kindly poured all four coffees for my bottomless demand. The location is perfect and I wish I had more time to jog along the boardwalk.

Perfekte ligging!

Die Dolphin Inn was perfek geleë aangesien ek aan die Kaapstad Maraton deel geneem het. Dit was loopafstand van die stadium af, wat dit baie gerieflik gemaak het. Die kamer is goed ingerig en baie netjies. Die eienaars was ook baie hulpvaardig en vriendelik. Hul het nie 'n probleem gehad om ons uitkloktyd aan te skuif en later vir ons heerlike ontbyt te bedien nadat ek teruggekom het van die maraton nie! Ons sal definitief weer daar oornag vir die volgende maraton!

Perfect location!

The Dolphin Inn was perfectly located as I was taking part in the Cape Town Marathon. It was walking distance from the stage, which made it very convenient. The room is well furnished and very tidy. The owners were also very helpful and friendly. They didn't have a problem moving our check-out time and serving us a delicious breakfast later after I got back from the marathon! We will definitely spend the night there again for the next marathon!

Intieme gastehuis met 'n ongelooflike ligging.

Heerlike paasnaweek gehad in hierdie intieme gastehuis met 'n ongelooflike ligging. Loopafstand van belangrike toeriste-aantreklikhede. Netjiese kamers en goeie ontbyt ingesluit. Jammer oor die WiFi wat nie beskikbaar was a.g.v. die Telkom-lyne en die cappuccino-masjien wat nie gewerk het nie, maar andersins 'n ongelooflike vakansie.

Fantastiese ervaring met meelewende en vriendelike, hulpvaardige gasvrou en gasheer.

Sandra en haar man het spesiaal vir ons gewag omdat ons laataand eers kon inklok. Hulle was steeds vriendelik en ons het dadelik baie tuis gevoel. Hulle het ook 'n goeie sin vir humor. Was werklik 'n aangename ervaring vir my, veral die oggend om die ontbyttafel wat soveel atmosfeer gehad het.

Sandra and her husband waited especially for us because we could only check in late at night. They were still friendly and we immediately felt very much at home. They also have a good sense of humor. Was really a pleasant experience for me, especially the morning around the breakfast table which had so much atmosphere.
