Never seen a hotel go the extra mile in the same way. Could actually never have imagined a hotel could have this level of service. Even when I ordered a breakfast item outside of the menu they 100% delivered and went the extra mile to decorate it beautifully and add some toppings. Also loved the 24/7 jacuzzi and the friendliness of everyone. ##### Anna Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### J Nov 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### a great find This hotel was a delight.

The room isnt large, but well appointed. Staff is superb. Great restaurants nearby and we also we walked the 30 min. downtown( we are 72) took Uber everywhere else. Breakfast is fabulous and the little touches of having cake or cookies around in the afternoon was an added bonus. There are steps to all the rooms that I could see so if this is a problem, check. Otherwise, this is the place to stay. ##### Carol Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gillian Feb 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved our stay at Derwent House.

Locks to rooms didn’t work properly, service was sweet but a bit overwhelming and breakfast was a little average. Luca the manager however was absolutely fantastic and super helpful, would recommend. ##### Chris Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen Feb 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a beautiful boutique hotel, in a neighborhood full of restaurants, nightlife and shopping. Most outstanding was the friendly and helpful service, which competes with concierges in the larger hotels, from restaurant recommendations and reservations, to car-hires and other basics. The only minor downside was the lack of a generator to compensate for South Africa's rolling power blackouts, so the air conditioning goes out for a couple hours each night, but it was a minor inconvenience. I would highly recommend this hotel. ##### Stephen Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jan Feb 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect Oassis in Cape Town The Derwent House was excellent on all accounts with the exception it is on a hill and my husband isn't the best at parking however the manager came and parked the car for us and we didn't need to use it again until we left. The guest house is convenient for Table Mountain and walking Lions Head it is a small oassis to come back to at the end of the day. Delicious afternoon teas and quiet at night. Easy access to the Waterfront and good restaurants within walking distance ##### Jan Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Radisson RED V&A Waterfront, Cape Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Hotel-VA-Waterfront-Cape-Town.h18644202.Hotel-Information) > > [Oude Werf Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Oude-Werf-Hotel.h2720474.Hotel-Information) > > [Excellence Playa Mujeres - Adults Only All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Excellence-Playa-Mujeres-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h1672497.Hotel-Information) > > [The Portswood Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Portswood-VA-Waterfront.h526896.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Napa Valley](https://www.expedia.ca/Napa-Valley-Hotels.d180046.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Jamaica](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Jamaica-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d88-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-AC-Hotel-By-Marriott-Cape-Town-Waterfront.h29305328.Hotel-Information) > > [Protea Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront Breakwater Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Protea-Hotel-By-Marriott-Cape-Town-Waterfront-Breakwater-Lodge.h663635.Hotel-Information) > > [Protea Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Sea Point](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Protea-Hotel-By-Marriott-Cape-Town-Sea-Point.h533915.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Detroit Metropolitan Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-The-Westin-Detroit-Metropolitan-Airport.h900411.Hotel-Information) > > [Lelux Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Lelux-Hotel.h17887003.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Hotel London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Park-Hotel-London.h528290.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House LA - University Medical Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hyatt-House-LA-University-Medical-Center.h57692997.Hotel-Information) > > [The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Twelve-Apostles-Hotel-And-Spa.h548889.Hotel-Information) > > [The Commodore Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Commodore-Hotel.h83744.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Galway City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Galway-City-Centre-Galway-Hotels.0-n6057027-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [One&Only Cape Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-OneOnly-Cape-Town.h2442736.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus The Arden Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Stratford-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-The-Arden-Park-Hotel.h11525291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Grand-Velas-Riviera-Nayarit-All-Inclusive.h996714.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-President-Hotel.h526107.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Bay-Hotel.h18132.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Abbotsford (YXX) to Portland (PDX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxx/pdx/abbotsford-to-portland) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Thiruvananthapuram (TRV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/trv/calgary-to-thiruvananthapuram) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Lisbon District (LIS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/lis/montreal-to-lisbon) ### Cars > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Drumheller](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Drumheller.d55296-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Car rentals in Portland](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Portland.d178299.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [golf vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/golf-vacations) > > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Punta Cana Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana.d601906.Destination-Travel-Guides)
