The Tropicana Hotel Hotels in Cape Town

The Tropicana Hotel

"The hotel is more like a serviced apartment style with a small kitchnette and full amenities, but it also has the benefit of a 24-hour reception and daily housekeeping, so the stay was very comfortable. The room is quite spacious and all spaces are well-maintained in terms of amenities and cleaniness. The view is nice from the balcony which can look into the oceanside or mountainside."

The Big - Luxury Backpackers Hotels in Cape Town

The Big - Luxury Backpackers

"I stayed for four nights in the mixed dorm while traveling solo. The room exceeded my expectations, with a comfy bed (much better than you’d expect in a hostel), an en-suite bathroom, and only three beds. Towels are provided for free, and the room is tidied up daily. Breakfast is also available if you don’t feel like cooking your own (which you can do). The common areas are fantastic—breakfast room, TV room, study room, garden, and swimming pool. A massive added value is the staff, who make you feel like part of a big family and take great care of you. Thumbs up for the activities and excursions you can book through the hostel as well! I also enjoyed the diverse mix of guests, with people of all ages. The area is fine, just few steps away from the sea promenade."

Mojo Hotel & Market Hotels in Cape Town

Mojo Hotel & Market

"Not a bad place. Location is great. Room is very basic but clean. Slept well after a long flight. Mojo market is right downstairs and the food selection plus vibe is great. Noisy at night but didn’t bother me too much, however I understand if it would be annoying to others."

Camps Bay Village Hotels in Cape Town

POD Camps Bay Hotels in Cape Town

POD Camps Bay

"This stay was absolutely magnificent from arrival to departure, upgraded as we arrived at the hotel. The staff, incredible! Always doing more than asked, going out of their way to assist in making plans, arranging transport or just providing extra information. Shout out to Claudia, who was patient and articulate. She stopped her work in order to attend to me at all times. Shout out to Dewald, humorous, witty and exquisitely piquant. Always up for a conversation amd willing to make anything amd everything more convenient for the guests. Rennia and Alice, ebullient and light-hearted, i felt the care and meticulous nature of their work through all they did, and the smiles they provided, thank you! The entire staff, quite warm and accommodating! Clean room, aesthetically modern and quaint. 100% recommended, convenient location for all your needs!"

Cape Town Marriott Hotel Crystal Towers Hotels in Cape Town

Cape Town Marriott Hotel Crystal Towers

"I have requested to be away from the lift but they denied to give me a room next to the lift  It’s ridiculous"

Pullman Cape Town City Centre Hotels in Cape Town

Pullman Cape Town City Centre

"Room: spacious, clean and comfortable. Our room was on the highest floor and it was quiet. If you’re traveling with an elderly, just be cautious as the shower floor is extremely slippery. One downside is that water pressure and temperature is not very stable. Location: situated in the heart of CBD, it’s a fairly safe area. Parking available for hotel guests and shuttle available to V&A Waterfront Staff: Front desk and lobby staff are friendly and welcoming. Security at the hotel and parking were also very friendly and helpful. Most staff at the restaurant were not as friendly (most but still a few staff was friendly and helpful and provided great service) Staff often forget guests’ drink orders as 2 days in a row, we did not get our tea during breakfast. I also ordered a cappuccino while waiting in front or the coffee machine however I was forgotten as well. I was better off making my own coffee. Breakfast: They served standard American style breakfast with selection of fruits, pastries and salads. Their hashbrowns were my favourites! If only the food can be a little different everyday, we stayed there for 4 days and had the same food everyday. Overall, we enjoyed our stay room but restaurant staffs’ service and attitude can be improved."

Blackbrick Hotel Gardens - Cape Town Hotels in Cape Town

Blackbrick Hotel Gardens - Cape Town

"During our stay, housekeeping removed items from our fridge and later admitted via WhatsApp that they had thrown them away, mistakenly assuming we had checked out. We had not. The items were valued at R1,500. What made this worse was management’s handling of the situation. The manager was dismissive and later claimed the staff “did not find” the items - directly contradicting the written admission previously sent to me. That inconsistency speaks for itself. Nearly a month later, no refund has been processed and communication has largely stopped. There were also repeated privacy breaches. Despite displaying a “Do Not Disturb” sign, staff entered our room multiple times. On one occasion, a staff member walked in while I was completely naked. This was reported to reception, and no formal apology was ever issued. Mistakes can happen. What defines a business is accountability. In this case, there has been none. We made every effort to resolve this privately and professionally before posting this review. Unfortunately, the lack of transparency and follow-through has left us no alternative. Proceed with caution."

ONEHUNDRED on M - Fluent Serviced Apartments Hotels in Cape Town

ONEHUNDRED on M - Fluent Serviced Apartments

"Spent 6 nights here in Feb 26. Room was nice, generally clean, comfortable beds, good air con, nice communal space in our 2 bed appartment. Main issues were no air conditioning in one of the bedrooms and the floors were quite dirty. The major issue was that there was no water at all for about 24 hours. To be fair this was a local issue not a hotel issue but it was really challenging and the company didn't manage it very well! But, assuming the water is working, it's a nice apartment in a nice setting, would recommend! Staff are nice too, I liked Dee!"

A Sunflower Stop Backpackers Hotels in Cape Town

"Had a lovely stay at the sunflower stop for a good 2 weeks. Met amazing people I can call friends too! Big shoutout to the amazing team, Sid, Augusto, Sim and all the volunteers! I felt warmly welcomed and will definitely make a return trip sometime in the future. 10/10 ;)"

The Bantry Aparthotel by Totalstay Hotels in Cape Town

The Bantry Aparthotel by Totalstay

"This place is absolutely amazing! If you're planning to take the City Sightseeing bus in Cape Town, you must stay here—there's a stop right in front! The location is spotless, with a stunning ocean view in front and Lion’s Head right behind you. Personally, the breakfast here was outstanding. It gave me a sense of peace and comfort that even luxury hotels rarely provide. If I get the chance to return, I’d love to stay for over a month!"

The Tokyo Aparthotel by Totalstay ★★★★
"This is the second time having to book with you guys however this time was terrible! The lights in the sitting room were not working, the blinder was half way through and it wasn’t closable which meant having to sit in the dark because another person can see through. I went down and spoke to the receptionist (male) he said I should wait in my room and someone would come up and help but no one came. I love booking at this place but the recent experience is definitely gonna make me think twice."

"This is my second stay. There is really no scenery outside the window on the lower floor. It is a narrow street, but the room is spacious, the breakfast is rich, and the location is convenient. I am still very satisfied. You must try the breakfast."

The Capetonian - Halal ★★★★
"I had heard it was in a not-so-safe area, but there were no issues as cars could pull right up to the hotel entrance, and there's a security guard at the parking entrance, which made traveling by ride-sharing app perfectly fine. However, I'd definitely advise against walking, even for short distances. The staff were very helpful, and my stay was comfortable. I was too lazy to go out, so I ate at the hotel's restaurant several times, and it was excellent – delicious and inexpensive. I'd love to stay here again when I next visit Cape Town. I've attached photos of the delicious burger and T-bone steak I had at the restaurant."

The Trade Boutique Hotel ★★★★
"This is hands down the top hotel we stayed at in South Africa. We were quite anxious as first time travellers to South Africa (which after the trip we realised we needn't be), and the wonderful staff at Trade Hotel eased us in. My dad loved them so much he still speaks fondly of them. They went all out to ensure our comfort, giving us tips on the safe and fuss free places to visit, where not to go (including a market we had wanted to visit), and World Cup tips [included in the price it seems ;)] . Hotel was highly securely, super safe, and as you can see from the photos, very aesthetic. We walked everywhere. Thank you for this most wonderful stay."
