About
Royal Atlantic Aparthotel - Cape Town
The Royal Atlantic Aparthotel is a 3-star property set along Marais Road in Cape Town's Sea Point area. It is a straightforward, functional choice for travellers who want more room than a standard hotel room, with apartment-style units that include sitting areas, electric kettles, and cookware. The location is a strong point: Milton Beach is a 7-minute walk away, and the promenade with its bars and restaurants is also within easy reach.
The hotel is rated 7.6 out of 10 across 56 guest reviews, slightly below the Cape Town area average of 8.1. Rooms come as one- or two-bedroom apartments, each with at least one double bed, and many have balconies. The indoor pool, which appears in several reviews, is a useful feature for cooler days, and guests have mentioned a jacuzzi, an outdoor play area, and mini golf. Parking and Wi-Fi are paid, which may be worth factoring into the budget.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Paid Wi-Fi and parking — Unlike some competitors, Wi-Fi is listed as a paid amenity, and while one guest noted hassle-free parking, it is not confirmed as free. Budget for these extras.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 20:30, which may be tight for late arrivals. If you're landing later, you'll need to arrange timing in advance.
- Modest overall rating — With a 7.6 score from 56 reviews, the property rates below the Cape Town area average of 8.1. While individual reviews are largely positive, some note it as a budget option with limitations.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so animal companions cannot stay here.
