I stayed at this hotel for two weeks in July 2012. I liked the ambiance of the hotel. It was clean, new and the executive lounge was nice. They also had a Hookah bar in the hotel which was a plus! Everything was great except that the staff was a little rude. Also, I wasn't a fan of the location.... More

Make sure that you pre book your room preference as the check in staff give you the attitude that they are doing you a favour when you check in. However, when you get the right room they are extremly comfortable and clean

We stayed at the Hilton for our last four nights in South Africa. The hotel was built in 2010 (in anticipation of the World Cup?) and everything is sparkling. Our room was well appointed, very clean, and stylish. The employees, from the moment we arrived, went out of their way to be helpful. From our check in (where we received... More

I'm very happy with Hilton Capetown. I've stayed at a number of other hotels in the area, but Hilton is the best so far. It is not the cheapest, but definitely worth every cent, I can definitely recommend this hotel to any one looking for quality in a hotel(home away from home)

Stayed here for 2 nights, a little distant from V&A but they have hourly transport. Rooms really clean and luxurious, gym, pool and sauna great, and bar and restaurants of a high standard. Shame you can not buy alcohol in the Indian themed restaurant but otherwise superb. Staff very friendly and attentive. Recommended.
