Location, Staff, Views

POD Camps Bay is beautiful and the most phenomenal location- 50m from the beach but not right on top of the craziness of the bars in the main road. The staff are exceptional and exude true hospitality. I can highly recommend this very special hotel.


Very friendly staff

The POD is located one block from the beach, which is very convenient for walks along the beach. Due to the proximity to the main road you can hear some traffic noise so it is not te most quiet location. The views from the hotel are limited due to a...

Disappointed

The pictures on the website are misleading regarding the views from the hotel rooms. We booked a room with a beach and ocean view - but that is only an accurate description if you go well out onto the balcony. Otherwise, your most prominent view from inside the room will...

We couldn’t have asked for more! A fantastic hotel. If you want to treat yourself, can’t recommend this highly enough

From beginning to end, the experience was incredible. The room, cleverly designed to maximize space, was clean, comfortable & stylish. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful. Ideally located near beach and restaurants
