ブリス ブティック ホテル(Bliss Boutique Hotel)

Lovely boutique hotel in a nice quiet area on Sunset Beach, Blouberg. Direct access to the beach. The staff are brilliant and provide warm and efficient service. The room was comfortable, and the shower was excellent. The restaurant is rceommended and the breakfasts were cut above what you get in a larger establishment. The only slight negative was the bed was a bit soft (which is personal taste) and the Wifi signal was poor as we were at the end of the corridor. Recommended.

We stayed for 2 nights. Made welcome by Samuel. Nice room. We had breakfast and dinner both days and all good. We had car troubles and Vanessa called Johan who came to our rescue and charged the car battery overnight which worked. We also had WiFi problems and Samuel front of house person spent time sorting us out. There is secure parking, a nice pool, walk to the beach, and a short drive to shops. We will be back

Had a great stay at Bliss. Incredibly friendly staff, great location for walking the dunes and the views of Cape Town and Table Mountain are breathtaking. The room was clean , quiet and large enough. The bathroom was modern, clean , plenty of towels and had a great walk in shower! Recommended location if you want a quieter place to stay in Cape Town than the hub bub of the Waterfront.

We stayed at Bliss in December 2022. Was a great experience apart from the fact that they did not inform me that they do not have back up power during Loadshedding. We therefore could not use the amenities at a 4* establishment during our 1day stay. Only a little battery light was provided in the room. I contacted the owner twice via email and a month later, after I called in person, I was told that they did not feel it important enough to respond as yet. I have no problem but expected to be told we would not be able to use the facilities like AC, TV, coffee machine etc. Communication to your patrons please. Then they can decide for themselves. Apart from that great venue with very friendly staff.

Bliss Boutique is more of a bed and breakfast type of accommodation. The staff is super friendly, helpful, and make you feel right at home. The made to order breakfast is an added bonus and the on-site chef make fabulous dinners and desserts. The rooftop is available for lounging and drinks and the path to the beach is easy. Uber rides to downtown are very affordable and the hotel contracts with a driver for airport or tours. We had a private wine tour that was very affordable and we were never rushed. Not walkable (other than the beach), but still convenient and very peaceful! Highly recommended! :)

Sadly, we were disappointed due to the heightened expectations both from an article we read stating this to be among the 10 best hotels in the Cape Town area and the reviews. There were many good points, as well as some disappointing elements, that are non-negotiable for a higher priced ‘luxury accommodation’ (as advertised on their website) for which we paid over 3700 Rand per night. Some might be minor but in conjunction with each other they start to matter. Let’s start with the good things: Pros - stunning view: across to Cape Town and table mountain, but make sure to be on the second floor towards the sea otherwise the sand dunes will be in your way - Very friendly staff on arrival as well as on breakfast duty (Kuda) - Clean, nice decor - Very comfortable bed linen and big enough shower towels Cons - Bed: I have never stayed in what they advertise on their website as a ‘luxury hotel’ in a ‘superior deluxe king’ size room where the mattress does not measure 2 m in length! This meant that both my husband’s and my feet were dangling off the end of the bed and when the bedspread pulls down on the toes this becomes extremely uncomfortable - Balcony: the balcony of room 202 is very small and can definitely not be used with two chairs - Window: the window of room 202 towards the table mountain also serves as balcony for room 201 which means as they stand on the balcony they can look inside straight onto the bed, which means no privacy - Pre-used slippers (which I doubt the guest would put back in the plastic wrapper) - The whole restaurant, bar and lounge area was smelling strongly of cooking smells, even in the afternoon when there was no one cooking in the kitchen - Lastly, having to wait for more than one hour for 2 deserts without any mention of waiting time is too much. To be aware of: - Best views, for the sunset is on the rooftop, but bring some thing because winds are extremely strong - If you take a room on ground floor to sand dunes covered the view and patio is connected to the rooms right and left - When we were there, there was only one chef in the kitchen and this made waiting times extremely long

The “classic” view of Table Mountain from our bed, every morning - what more could you ask for? However, added was an attentive, helpful staff who were always happy to help but never intrusive. An absolutely perfect base for our third week in the Cape.

The Hotel is very stupidly designed. Most of the rooms are on the ground floor and might be "facing the sea" but that view is blocked by the dunes completely. The breakfast is served on de 1st floor where also the kitchen is located. As a consequence everything served in the restaurant needs to be carried up the stairs, no elevator! That Breakfast room is way too large and that room has a perfect view over the ocean. Next to the breakfast room there is a "way too large" bar that is useless. A table at the side could have hosted the coffee machine etc. Who puts a " bar" of 5,5 metres in a Boutique Hotel with maybe 10-12 rooms. The rooms ar comfy but also very strangely designed. Normally the bed is on the opposite wall of the corridor that passes the bathroom. Here the first thing you face is the bed itself with a headrest. There is a small outside space that belongs to the room itself, but without separations between your room and the next. My neighbour brought his surfboard and kite and took up all of my space also. Nice staff that cater to your needs. Venessa, the manager, is super sweet. Works way too many hours and really makes you feel welcome. She deserves a 6 star rating

My mom and I stayed from the 1st to the 5th October for her 60th Birthday. The establishmentbis world class. Clean, immaculate and peaceful. The staff are very polote and courteous. Chef Gary is outstanding, his meditterenean quinoa salad is the best! Definately brinfing hubby and the crew!
