We’ve just spent a week at this lovely hotel. It wasn’t our first choice but I’m really glad we ended up here. The location is brilliant, it’s on the V&A waterfront with fantastic views across the harbour and table mountain. There are lots of shops & restaurants around here and visible security.

We’ve just spent a week at this lovely hotel. It wasn’t our first choice but I’m really glad we ended up here. The location is brilliant, it’s on the V&A waterfront with fantastic views across the harbour and table mountain. There are lots of shops & restaurants around here and visible security. At no point did we feel unsafe. Some reviews have said it isn’t a 5 star - however it is easy to pick apart most places and yes there was the odd mark and the rooms themselves could do with a style refresh. They are large and extremely comfortable though with pretty much everything you’d want in a room here. The pool isn’t massive but is pleasant with good views. There is a spa here too. The breakfast buffet is really extensive and the outside terrace a really lovely place to eat it. The staff have all been wonderful & many thanks for making this a special place for my mother’s 80th birthday. She won’t forget the kindness. All in, lovely place & I would very much like to re-visit! Read less
Another excellent visit to The Table Bay

We have been regular visitors to the Table Bay over the last twenty years and our latest seven night stay was not a disappointment in any way. The rooms (we had a Mountain view which also has a wonderful view of the harbour) are spacious and well appointed and still in very good condition after nearly 30 years.

We have been regular visitors to the Table Bay over the last twenty years and our latest seven night stay was not a disappointment in any way. The rooms (we had a Mountain view which also has a wonderful view of the harbour) are spacious and well appointed and still in very good condition after nearly 30 years. The breakfast buffet is probably the best in South Africa with an amazing choice and all the staff are lovely. We are well aware that the hotel is closing shortly for a major refurbishment and change of brand. We sincerely hope that the character of this wonderful hotel, for us the best in Cape Town, is not spoilt. Read less

This is an excellent hotel in an excellent location in the heart of the Victoria and Albert Harbor. There are great restaurants and shops well within walking distance from the hotel. We felt very safe in the area. The rooms were spacious, well appointed and extremely comfortable. The complete breakfast was fabulous with delicious options and wonderful service. The staff was extremely competent and welcoming. The concierge service was helpful and patient before our journey and during our stay. The salt water pool was a nice touch. The only negative would be the undersized gym for such a large establishment. However, I didn't come to work-out, and I would still highly recommend this hotel if visiting Cape Town. Read less

We had a great stay, the hotel is very conveniently located, however bad experience upon checking out. We made the booking online (directly with the hotel) and pay the full accommodation. According to their 1st version, the payment was only a deposit. Then they argued that the rates went up because of the high occupancy and they "add" an additional R6000.00 to our bill. My advice to travelers, make 100% how payments are allocated and get prior confirmation (even if it sounds silly) what is included. Get itemized receipts and statements. Read less
