"The hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, quickly learning the names of all in my group and greeting us by name whenever we met them. The location is excellent for a stay in downtown Cape Town. The Company Garden, museums and historic districts were within easy walk, as was the excellent downtown historic walking tour. Best of all was the 8th floor bar and restaurant, open all day and a great place to hang out and relax. Food was good and varied and we ate all our dinners...

"The property was easy to locate, secure, and basic. They do not have a masssive kitchen to which your goods can be placed but a tiny fridge which only staff have access to. No eating in the rooms. Our private room was lovely and had towels, blankets, and a fan. The beds were cozy and the individual lights at the bunk beds were perfect for our children. The restaurant downstairs is good. It is awkward to eat though if you have brought your own food. For a hostel, this is one of my favorite...

Top South Africa Library Hotel Reviews

AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"I want to mention a fine young man who assisted me throughout my stay. Adil was super"

Taj Cape Town

8/10 Good

"Good stay at Taj Cape Town. Excellent breakfast at Mint. Stayed in a suite. Great view of the mountain. Good bathroom size. Enjoyed the facilities. Only downside was that they didn't make up our room the one day. Called Housekeeping when we got back at 16h30. After a second call, they only sent someone at 18h30. This was a major downer. Expected better service than this."

Holiday Inn Express Cape Town City-Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great full breakfast, terrific staff and convenient location. Bathroom renovations ongoing, which did not impact us except for that our room had been renovated and shower still leaked onto floor."

Hyatt Regency Cape Town

8/10 Good

"Just very noisy from teh traffic on teh road below. otherwise really great."

ONOMO Hotel Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Ideally situated, close to the Waterfront and surprisingly reasonably priced. We enjoyed our stay and have a firsthand understanding why their breakfasts are legendary!"

Hotel Sky Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Sky - we loved it. We stayed in a bunk room as there were 4 of us. Not big but has surprisingly enough space as you can slide your bags under the bed and there are charging ports and closet space for each bunk bed. It has 2 showers and a bathroom. Coffee machine is outside but it’s a good wired machine with multiple options , grind and serve. 1000 percent better coffee than what you’d make in your room. 15 min walk to the V&A waterfront and close to airport. Restaurant food is great. Gym decent reception efficient. Interior decor outside of rooms is unique."

Canopy By Hilton Cape Town Longkloof

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic stay here. Comfortable and clean. Fantastic buffet menu and marvellous staff. Great decor and very relaxing. Nice to have filtered water taps in the corridors. Parking for disabled was right outside the hotel. Gym was small but useful. Lots of tasty restaurants around the area. So cheap to jump into an UBER to visit Cape Town waterfront"

City Lodge Hotel Victoria And Alfred Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Happy all round, will book with them again"

Gorgeous George by Design Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best hotel experiences I have had in Cape Town!! Excellent service , great food and super friendly staff !!!!🔥"
