I travel to Cape Town often on business and my company books me into the Portswood because it is centrally located for any meetings I may have around the city and it is across the road rom the V&A waterfront. It is a good hotel, with all the amenities available. Staff are friendly and I have never had any problems... more

After much research into hotels in the V & A Waterfront area we decided the Portswood was the best balance between location and price. Because there are several more expensive hotels in the area we didn't expect much from this hotel, however we were pleasantly suprised. The staff was excellent, very welcoming and always willing to help with whatever we... more

We stayed at the Portswood for 6 nights in December 2008 and found the hotel to meet all our expectations. Due to our requirements, the hotel room was not top notch, but it was what we wanted. The service was great and the breakfast was something we looked forward to every morning. The location is perfect for Cape Town, close... more

This was my first stay at the Portswood, although not my first time in Cape Town. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and located at the V&A Waterfront with all of its dining and shopping option. The staff was very friendly and the level of service was acceptable. The rooms are in need of some refurbishing, however, they were clean and... more

We stayed here between 15 - 23 May 09, our second stay at The Portswood. The reason for returning was that it was superb last time (May 2008) and it's great to say that it was just as good (maybe even better!!) this time. The Portswood is a perfect sized, well located, spotlessly clean, well managed and quality hotel. To... more

The PortsWood was perfect. We had a large group (77) and the bottom line is they did everything right. Our rooms were ready when we arrived, we had a welcome reception with champagne, and the staff was sooooooooooooo friendly. The hotel is within 100 yards of the V&A Waterfront, where you can shop until you drop and you have an... more

Very reasonably priced, within secure area of the waterfront, which is important. Great staff, good day trips easily arranged to Cape of Good Hope, penguins, baboon walk, others. more

This is a great hotel to make the most of your stay in Cape Town. It has a great location literally 5 mins walk max from the best part of the famous V&A waterfront so you can head there for a cooffee or drink any time you like. The staff were excellent and very helpful, the room was really comfortable... more

Hotel is very central - less than 5 mins walk from all the nice restaurants at the Waterfront. Staff very friendly - valet parking for hotel guests (75 rand for 24 hours, which is a reduced rate, usually 90 rand if you're just a tourist parking on a daily basis). Very clean, a little dated to be honest but not... more
