Reviews for Kolping Guesthouse and Conference Facility
Review 1:When we arrived, one of the rooms were not ready. The receptionist did not offer an apology and was rude when we complained. We asked to speak to the manager. We are still waiting for him to show himself.
Review 2:The location. The guesthouse is comfortable and the stay could have been very nice if it was not for the staff.
Review 3:The location was perfect close to medi clinic durbanville. Safe parking staff very accommodating. My daughter needed to go into hospital earlier than expected and the guesthouse had no problem in wavering her booking for this reason. Thank you very much to all concerned.
Review 4:Not much to dislike.minor minor gripe was the removal of pool side cushions on the last 3 nights but not sure why that was. Possibly too polite to ask us to keep it down while we sat having a drink at night time poolside. But it wasn't a big problem.
Review 5:Absolutely loved this guest house/apartments. The rooms were big and very well equipped with tv, kettle,mini fridge,towels,etc. But the staff were the real gem . They were so polite and attentive and did everything they could to make sure we enjoyed our stay here. Special thanks to Rocashana for her help and hospitality. Breakfast was great and you have 5 choices. Location is great and you can walk to shopping centre in 5 mins. Drive to Cape Town city centre about 25 mins. 5 star rating definitely .
Review 6:I packed all my luggage before breakfast left everything including my handbag in the room and on my return someone was already cleaning the room. Surely this get done when the key is handed in.
Review 7:Very comfortable and convenient location
Review 8:Missed "kantgordyne" so one can open the curtains during the day to let the natural light in and still feel private.
Review 9:Being winter....stepping into and warm 'home' with the under floor heating. Loved the spacious bathroom and lights. Friendly welcome and warm hearted people.
Review 10:There was really nothing to complain about. We even got flowers and a fruit bowl (was our anniversary) unexpected. Wish I was there now.
Review 11:The staff was very friendly and helpful and went out of their way to accommodate any request. The staff are unobtrusive and very professional. The room was cosy and comfortable. I would definitely visit again.
Review 12:There was a huge party on Saturday morning from 4 am to 8 am in one of the rooms, which meant we could not sleep during this time. This was not what was to be expected!!
Review 13:Clean, comfortable bed, nice pillows which is important. Service was good as we asked for an extra blanket and it arrived.
Review 14:No milk provided for coffee on the 2nd morning.
Review 15:Cleanliness and no noise...easy to access and exit with electronic gate and remote control. Close to shops and a number of restaurants
Review 16:Our stay was brilliant. We booked for self catering and were upgraded to B&B at no extra cost. We loved the room. Extremely comfortable bed, heated floors and electric blankets. The service was excellent and all the employees very helpful and courteous.
Review 17:The steps in the room were a little bit tricky for my arthritic knees, but would be no problem for a 'normal' person. None of the steps anywhere had handrails - for example up to the dining room.
Review 18:Very handy for the wedding and reception we were attending. Clean, comfortable and secure.
Review 19:The receptionist was very friendly and helpfull, showed us to our room and the rest of the staff was full of smiles. The room itself was fantastic, very clean, comfy bed, underfloor heating was a bonus and bathroom was neat and tidy with everything in its place. Will definately recommend Kolping Guest House to anyone. Thank you for making our stay memorable.
Review 20:Cold room, mezanine upper level noisey. Breakfast not in cluded in price and quite expensive, especially for young kids not eating much. Do not like 2 levels, prefer one level.
Review 21:Spacious, good facilities, ok main bed, clean, options for meals if in self catering, very close to town for breakfast with nice restaurants. Pool for kids in summer, overall all very good..
Review 22:I requested a flat sheet for the bed and it was not provided. On arrival I was informed that they do not have flat sheets. I would have thought that they could have let me know prior to my arrival that they could not provide a flat sheet, and I would have brought one. Alternatively they could have bought one themselves.
Review 23:Breakfast needs a bit of help
Review 24:We had to be relocated from our room, the staff went beyond the extra mile to accommodate us and bring us the new keys. They made us feel at home
Review 25:booked long ago 4 rooms and there was still confusion about booking. Beds were very bad. One room did not have window.
Review 26:Price was low and thus kind of adequate
Review 27:The bed is very soft, the towels feel very old and “used”. The luxury room that we had booked had the plugs off and the staff did not know how to get it back on. We then had to go into a standard room, but were offered no partial refund. The breakfast was so-so. Some other guests came in at 4am and were so noisy that they woke up everyone as the rooms are in fairly close proximity
Review 28:The guesthouse is well located if you have a function on one of the wine estates in Durbanville, otherwise it is at the far end of this big suburb. The staff were very friendly, although they were not always able to assist.
Review 29:Noisy, the walls are not really sound proof, and every time somebody is using water,you can hear it, that is irritating.
Review 30:Room and Bathroom modern and big, staff very friendly and sufficient
Review 31:Whilst this may not impact the rating of the place, I think the cutlery and crockery were insufficient. Also whilst not being charged for the washing of dishes as I did them myself, there was a notice up that there will be a charge of R30 per day if you wanted the dishes wash. I found that a bit odd as compared to other establishments. Maybe this is the trend being adopted by establishments.
Review 32:Practically everything, the location, the cleanliness and the value for money.
Review 33:We book a twin room and we where given a the medium self catering apartment because the receptionist wanted to accommodate everyone during the busy season,and we where fine with that. Problem was the bed base squeaked with ever movement we made,so we couldn't sleep,plus she neglected to tell us that the self catering apartment had no Dstv unlike the guest house rooms. So the stay was very disappointing.
Review 34:Breakfast and staff was good
Review 35:Kolping is in a quiet, safe neighbourhood. The facilities are beautiful and contribute to a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The staff members are professional, friendly and helpful.
Review 36:We were unfotunately only able to stay overnight but enjoyed the stay and breakfast so much we arrived late at the airport and missed our flight (joking) we just did some bad yime management! We will definetely make use of the guesthouse again if needed. All our needs were catered for superbly Thank you Kolpin
Review 37:We missed breakfast which we thought ended at 11am like most places. Not really their fault but would be nice if it could be later. The lady at reception when we checked out was a bit stern and seemed annoyed at us. Very different from the welcome Shaun gave us.
Review 38:The manager Shaun was great and offered a warm welcome. The rooms were super comfy with everything we needed for a one night stay. Easy access and secure. The price was great!
Review 39:Staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed in the self catering facility and really enjoyed it. We wanted to book for November but was fully booked.
Review 40:My husband forgot something in the bathroom. I contacted reception a week later and they could immediately assure me that it was in the office and I could fetch it. THANK YOU VERY MUCH !
