Cape Town has plenty to offer when it comes to sightseeing, and The Commodore is perfectly placed for you to enjoy the V&A waterfront, Table Mountain, and Robben Island with ease. Upgrade to an Executive room to make the most of the views from your balcony on the top floor, or even to a King Suite if you want the extra space for your stay. The nautical theme runs throughout the hotel, from your room right through to the bar and restaurant, where you can enjoy fresh seafood and local wines. As you’re in the heart of the harbour, you don’t have to go far to find more restaurants and bars either, where you can while away sunny evenings in the oldest working harbour in South Africa.

As someone who works in the customer service industry, I truly appreciate the value of outstanding service and the lasting impression it leaves on both a brand and its organization. The staff’s overall friendliness and service level were excellent—every team member went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. We had an early 5 a.m. checkout for a flight, and they thoughtfully arranged a breakfast pack for us, which was ready and waiting when we came downstairs. That level of attention to detail and commitment to customer care creates a memorable experience—and it’s exactly what would make me return in the future Read less

Only thing we didn't like that they were smoking under our room and we had the door open for some fresh air!! Read less
