The staff is wonderful. Everyone is kind and attentive. However, the property is not at the V&A waterfront. We had to take an uber to/from the V&A waterfront everyday to get to the better restaurants and shopping. For that reason, I wouldn’t stay at this property again. It’s just too far away from the action in my opinion. But if you’re looking for a safe and clean place to stay, this would be a great option. Also, the breakfast every morning is free and it’s really good!

Leisurely Stay.

It was for a leisurely stay and in a quieter part of the waterfront which was ideal for me. Good size bedroom overlooking the working harbour. Great views. Bathroom is a good size. Comfortable large bed with soft bedding.

We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms were nice and clean, and the bar area was enjoyable. Restaurant had great food. Get the Mozambique shrimp! Great views of Table Mountain from our room. Not much immediately next to the hotel but a short walk to the V&A Wharf and there is a water taxi directly in back to take you there. Also UBER came quickly.

Large room horrible house keeping.friendly staff Upon check-in, staff noted we are assigned waterfront view room unfortunately our view was railway track, ship containers/dock. At 4am we could hear container noises being moved around.VA waterfront is 25-30 minutes walking distance and not safe even at daytime especially walking through canal walkways. Yes we did get followed by a young man asking for money. I cancelled my previous reservation at different hotel and booked AC marrriot for almost double the cost hoping for waterfront view and closer: safer to VA waterfront,Big Mistake…Hotel is located at a secluded area and definitely need transportation to get around.
