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.

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! :)

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

Excellent all round
In terms of service, decor, and attention to detail, this was one of the best places we stayed in South Africa. Every member of staff were switched on and attentive. The hotel was nicely decorated in a modern way. Comfy bed, solar heated pool. Notable was the quality of food for both breakfast and dinner. Amazing views from the restaurant, but well worth eating here for the food alone.

Bed was extremely soft and uncomfortable. Small pool area receives very little sun due to being in middle of unit... Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Food was excellent.
