AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront

8/10 Good

"The hotel is handy although you need to uber to most places . The breakfast is delicious and rooms very comfy. If you’re cruising you will need an uber to get your luggage to the hotel."

City Lodge Hotel Victoria And Alfred Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Can't say enough about this remodeled hotel. The staff were just amazing and friendly from the maid staff, restaurant workers, bellmen, and the reception desk team. Our room was very quiet even though it was right along the canal. The breakfast options were great from continental, to hot/cold buffet, to order ala carte. The location is easy and safe to get to the main wharf with 2 different walking options (1 included no stairs) that take 10-20 minutes depending on where you want to go. Parking was free and simple, but with the wharf so close we didn't have to drive, find parking, and pay for parking there. We even boarded the hop on/hop off canal boat tour right at the hotel. We loved the hotel so much that we extended our original 4 night stay an additional 5 nights. We would stay here again."

Taj Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

"Staying on the Executive Floor is the only way to go. You are pampered from the moment you arrive. On arrival you can wait in the club having breakfast and other refreshments until your room is ready. Each evening from 5:00-7:00 there is happy hour with a buffet of interesting canapés that vary throughout the week. This was also a fun way to try some South African wines and liquor. The sparkling white was our favorite. Our reservation included breakfast and dinner. The dinner was five star outstanding. The fillet was comparable to a five star steakhouse. Service was spot on. Dinner was a leisurely pace which was perfect after a day of touring. This was our second stay at the TAJ Cape Town and we would always stay here if returning."

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!"
