Best hotel in Cape Town
Can’t recommend this hotel enough. We had such a lovely stay. The rooms were huge and the balcony was a huge added plus. Everyone working there was so friendly and went out of their way to help us. The location is beyond perfect- it’s super safe and walkable to the V&A and Oranjezicht market. Some reviewers negatively compared it to the neighboring Queen Victoria hotel, but we actually preferred how close the Dockhouse is to the pool area. We’ll definitely stay again on our next trip to Cape Town.

Recommend for a stay at the Waterfront
Everything was great. If you’re looking for a waterfront stay, definitely recommend the place. The pool is shared with the nearby hotels so gets quite busy during the afternoons.
Special thanks to Donovan and the rest of the staff who made our stay wonderful!

Ich sage es nur ungern aber die Unterkunft ist den Preis nicht wert. Obwohl ich ein Zimmer mit Hafenblick gebucht habe, hatten wir einen Raum mit Blick auf Mülltonnen,
Blechdach und vor allem auf den Aufenthaltsraum des Personals. Jeden Morgen 06:15 , wie auf dem Marktplatz.
Das Personal sehr aufmerksam, konnte aber die negativen Aspekte nicht ausgleichen.
Nicht nochmal.

Amazing Service
Very amazing and friendly staff. They went out of their way to assist with all issues, including challenges with a theft of one of our mobile phones, which they volunteered to assist! Every request was promptly managed from in-room dining to opening wine. Accommodation was also provide for late checkout. The room was also comfortable and clean.

Just WOW.
Incredible views of the V&A Waterfront from this meticulously maintained historic building. Welcome and service during our stay bordered on embarrassingly posh. Fantastic bed made you not want to get out of it despite the excellent location. Possibly the best place we have stayed at in every category.
