Our stay at the Mount Nelson was magical. From the moment we arrived, we were so happy with the impeccable service and the beauty of the grounds. Not to mention the incredible views with the property being nestled at the base of Table Mountain. It is an incredible escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Cape Town.

A fantastic gem in Cape Town, in South Africa, and globally. Beautiful hotel, very well maintained, and top quality in absolutely everything it has, starting with the outstanding courteous, friendly and very professional staff, and going to the food, linen, accommodations, spa, activities, etc. One of the best places I have stayed throughout my 40 year travel journey.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Nellie and wish we could have stayed even longer! The property was immaculate and beautiful and the staff always personable - exceeding expectation. We felt pampered and special. Looking forward to our next visit! Special thanks to Adam Herbert, guest experience manager, for his attention and insights into Cape Town and South Africa at large.

The Mount Nelson is truly a special hotel. It's physical location affords you an incredible view of Table Mountain. Rooms were spacious and luxuriously appointed with huge bathrooms. The service was outstanding, particularly rom Muchi the concierge who was very helpful in assisting us with planning excursions and hard-to-snag dinner reservations. High tea was a real treat and was even better thanthose I have had in London. We loved the Planet Bar and daily breakfasts, which were impressive and massive! I would highly recommend you stay at the "pink lady."

Always a friendly smile and a word of how my day was, where I had been & did I enjoy it. In retrospect all employees were outstanding. Piano player is fabulous!!

Wonderful as ever !
Wonderful stay at The Nelly, so great to be back , lovely to see familiar faces amongst the staff, as normal its 10/10 for everything, they just always get it right here, it’s why I think of it as my home in Cape Town rather than just a hotel.

Absolutely fantastic property and staff! It’s in a great location and the grounds are breathtaking. They have two heated pools and a great breakfast buffet that everyone rightfully raves about. The rooms are huge and clean and tastefully decorated. Absolutely no complaints about anything, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful getting us whatever we needed within minutes. Highly recommend!

The Mount Nelson did not disappoint
We loved staying at the Mount Nelson, we did not get in our car the whole time we stayed there. Loved the old grandeur of the hotel, the staff were very friendly and could not do enough for us. We loved the adult pool, which we mostly had all to ourselves. We loved walking in the gardens of the hotel as well as the surrounding neighbourhood.
Of Course we did afternoon tea at the Nellie, and it was everything I had always read about it.
We will definately be back visiting the pink lady
