The Rockefeller Hotel by NEWMARK

10/10 Excellent

"A great establishment with state of the art amenities, friendly staff, and awesome breakfast. My stay at this hotel was enjoyable and relaxing. I'll give it a 5-Star rating overall."

Taj Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay. Very helpful staff. Front desk and doormen were great. Primrose and Felicia in the restaurant were always so friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent. Good location. A bit too far to walk to V&A Waterfront. Close Uber ride to the cruise port. Clean and comfortable room. No complaints at all. I’d stay there again."

Grand Daddy Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Conveniently located by shops and restaurants/ bars on Long Street, this hotel is clean and really nicely decorated. The breakfast was delicious, the beds super comfy, the bathrooms modern, and the rooms nice and quiet. What really stood out was how thoughtful and helpful the staff were — especially at the front desk. I've stayed here a couple of times now and can't wait to come back next year."

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."
