The Commodore

The hotel is in a fabulous location - the VA Waterfront is walking distance and probably the safest neighbourhood in Cape Town..also the liveliest..with bars and restaurants open till late. So if you arent planning to spend too much time in the room stay here. The rooms are small with a ridiculously large bed and the hotel has a pool, a gym and a restaurant. The housekeeping is abysmal with carpets that havent seen a vacuum in years but the breakfast was functional but delightful. Staff at the breakfast counter were exceptionally helpful and quick. Room service is slow and food arrived cold the one night we did order in. All said and done I would absolutely recommend it for first time Travellers for its location, and value for money. They did surprise us with a small bottle of champagne and some chocolate strawberries on our anniversary. :)

We stayed 2 nights. The views of Table Mountain were amazing, and due to weather we got to see multiple rainbows right from the room as well. V&A is literally just on the other side of the parking lot - super convenient! The breakfast buffet was great quality and variety. The menu changed slightly on the 2nd day so I assume it helps keep things interesting for long stay guests and let's you try new things.
