Taj Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel and lovely breakfast."

AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay in Cape Town."

One&Only Cape Town

8/10 Good

"Philemon was terrific and made our stay very memorable!"

Radisson RED V&A Waterfront, Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

"We spent one night here as we explored the V&A Waterfront, the hotel was perfect for this purpose. Great location, friendly staff, easy parking and well priced."

Victoria and Alfred Hotel by NEWMARK

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel, with a wonderful staff. It reflects a culture of excellence and focus on making life smooth and happy for customers. Congratulations. Coffee was good and breakfast of high quality."

Radisson Collection Hotel, Waterfront Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful, clean, lovely staff. Careful of the seagulls if eating breakfast outside, and the bar closes at 10.30pm so order ahead if you want anything after being out for dinner etc."

InterContinental Table Bay Cape Town by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Location was unbeatable. The hotel is directly connected to the mall and also within walking distance of the Oranjezicht City Farm Market, which made getting around incredibly convenient. The whole surrounding vicinity felt safe, and the views from the hotel were stunning. With Table Mountain in the background, we even caught a rainbow while having breakfast by the window overlooking the wharf — such a memorable way to start the morning. If I were to nitpick, I would suggest going down earlier for breakfast if you want to enjoy the spread at its freshest. Perhaps because we were there on weekdays and turnover was lower, some items felt like they had been sitting out for a little while when we went later in the morning. Nothing major, but worth keeping in mind. The room itself was comfortable and well appointed, and we particularly appreciated how easy the hotel made our stay. Between the waterfront location, the views and the convenience of having the mall right next door, it was a very easy base for exploring Cape Town without feeling removed from the city. Overall, I would happily stay here again, particularly for a first visit to Cape Town. The location really is the standout — convenient, scenic and in an area where we felt comfortable walking around."

Radisson Hotel Cape Town Foreshore

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent Stay at the Radisson Hotel Cape Town Foreshore. Room was nice and spacious! Breakfast was delicious and the restaurants for dinner were great. It was great to be 5 minutes from V&A Waterfront as we utilized the shuttle to get to and from tours. Great view of Table Mountain at the rooftop. Overall, great stay and the staff were all amazing! Would definitely recommend staying at the Radisson Hotel Cape Town Foreshore when visiting Cape Town South Africa!"

Protea Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront Breakwater Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I travel often and have stayed in a wide variety of hotels. This was by far one of the best staffed and managed properties we have visited. They were always friendly, always helpful, and so very kind. I would recommend anyone visiting the V&A area in Cape Town to stay at this location. You won't be disappointed!"
