"An absolute gem of a hotel right in the heart of the "old town" area near Kloof Street. Beautiful colonial style design with fantastic local artwork throughout, amazing (cool) pool, honesty bar, secure on street parking (security watchmen at all times) and the most amazing helpful staff I've ever had at a hotel - emails and information on things to do, restaurants etc was outstanding. A really brilliant hotel in every way!"

Holiday Inn Express Cape Town City-Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very friendly and helpful. Buffet breakfast was excellent. Very clean and comfortable accommodations."

Radisson RED V&A Waterfront, Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel customer service was excellent. It included utilizing their trolley to carry our luggage to the cruise terminal at the end of the stay. The breakfast was good, try ordering the omelet. Well situated in the V&A neighborhood. Lots of restaurants close by to choose from. We used their transfer service from the airport and it was flawless."

Taj Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay. Very helpful staff. Front desk and doormen were great. Primrose and Felicia in the restaurant were always so friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent. Good location. A bit too far to walk to V&A Waterfront. Close Uber ride to the cruise port. Clean and comfortable room. No complaints at all. I’d stay there again."

Vineyard Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was wonderful! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The Italian restaurant was fantastic—easily one of the highlights of our stay. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, and I highly recommend taking some time to walk through the gardens. You may even spot a tortoise or two along the way! The drinks at the bar were delicious, and the overall atmosphere of the property was relaxing and welcoming. It’s a truly beautiful hotel, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back! 😊"

Hotel Sky Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, less than a mile from the V&A Waterfront, making it easy to walk to the many shops, restaurants, and attractions in the area. The waterfront itself is absolutely gorgeous, with beautiful views and a lively atmosphere. We especially enjoyed the nice walking path leading to the waterfront, which made getting there both convenient and enjoyable. The hop-on hop-off bus stops just outside in front of the hotel, making it easy to explore the city. The hotel was clean and quiet, and the location was excellent. A wonderful place to stay while exploring Cape Town!"
