Comfy and Spacious Room

My wife and I were wowed by the beauty of our room, which was very large and comfortable, featuring a terrific king-sized bed. The bathroom was spacious too, with a separate tub and a waterfall shower head. It was wonderfully clean and charming, making our stay even more enjoyable.

Safe Parking Available

I was relieved to find that there is guest parking available right next to the guesthouse, and it is protected by CCTV. This made us feel secure about our vehicle while we explored the surrounding area.

I had a lovely stay at the Kingslyn Guest House. From the warm welcome and assistance with luggage to the spotless and beautifully decorated rooms, everything was just right. The breakfast was outstanding, offering a great variety, and the location was convenient for walking to the V&A Waterfront. The only minor downside was that while it was a pleasant walk, some may prefer a quicker route if they're short on time.
