Beautiful hotel, great location and the service was truly outstanding. Could not fault it, every member of staff couldn’t do enough for us; so friendly and amazing at their craft. Thank you so much for having us!
Staff was amazing, very friendly and accommodating. Hotel was beautifully designed and rooms were amazing. The private dip pool was beautiful with amazing backdrop of the ocean. Definitely would come back
Room clean although turn down they never did anything and staff nice &helpful. I think I would usually say excellent but we had stayed at some special places beforehand.
Beautiful property on beachfront in the coveted Camps Bay. Staff and the breakfast were excellent. Enjoyed our two nights, staying their convenient location to multiple dining options. Close by.
wonderfully friendly and caring staff. They made our stay both memorable and fun. They anticipated and took care of our needs above and beyond our expectations. Will definitely return. Great location too, the room are fun and very comfortable, the breakfast was great.
Although the property is very attractive and stylish, the most exceptional part of our stay was the incredible staff and service. The genuinely friendly, highly personalized service and thoughtful offerings put most 5-star hotels to shame.
A short stay at the start of a longer visit to SA. The POD hotel is in a fantastic location and a great set-up. Perfect for a chilled break. What made the stay was the incredible staff who could not have been more friendly, helpful and engaged.
The staff is incredibly nice! Janet and the woman who works in the breakfast area in the morning were the sweetest and always asked us about our day. The rooms were very clean and the room with the plunge pool is beautiful and worth your money. I will be returning to Capetown soon and will be staying at this location again. 10/10 recommend!

The POD is wonderful - the view is really lovely overlooking the ocean. Staff is delightful (they are willing to help with any request and go above and beyond) and the location is great - walkable to many nice restaurants and convenient to the city. High recommend!
The location of POD is amazing, it’s located seconds from the beach and restaurants and bars of Camps Bay. The service at the hotel is second to none. Thanks to Sean, Nick and the team for the personal touch, restaurant and activity recommendations. A great spot which i hope to visit again.
What a treat it was to stay at POD. Every staff member was a joy to be around. When we came in from our activities we would come into the living room, getting snacks and drinks- it was like an extension of home. Breakfast was excellent every morning! Can't say enough good things!
Absolutely loved POD. I would highly recommend for anyone staying in camps Bay Area. The rooms were clean, the food was great, good restaurants in walking distance, and the people went above and beyond! Thanks for an amazing experience in Cape Town!
POD Camps Bay is nice slice of luxury just off the beaten path. The area is very alive with things to do, shops and restaurants of all types. The property sits just across the street from the beach. The staff are very accommodating and go out of their way to make sure that your stay is magnificent. Our reservation included breakfast which was a nice touch. We will definitely be back!
These guys are stellar! Above and beyond. Highly recommend this hotel and the staff are super attentive to every detail and even out a hot water bottle in a cozy crochet sack under your sheets for a bit more warmth on those Cape Town seaside nights!
Thanks PODS for a great stay:)

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff were brilliant, particularly, Concy. Room a little bit of a health hazard due to raised floor around bed. A little TLC needed we felt as room was looking a little bit tired. Veranda tiles needed relaying in areas. Enjoyed our stay but felt it was not quite up to the standards being charged. Also DIY work going on across the road at an adjacent house being renovated which created noise most days.
