The Westin Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed staying at the the Westin. Beautiful hotel. The staff was very professional, warm, and courteous. Well done!! Thank you"

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"

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!"
