We stayed our last night in Cape Town in this hotel in a loft room. The location cannot be beaten as it is right on the waterfront. Breakfast in the hotel overlooks the waterfront and table mountain. The staff were fantastic. I would recommend this to anyone wanting - no complaints.

This hotel is a 'must' for anyone staying in Cape Town at the beginning of their Garden Route tour. It is right on the Quayside and a very short walk from a fantastic shopping mall with lots of wonderful restaurants around the outside of the mall overlooking the harbour. The staff were excellent, very helpful and pleasant. The breakfasts were... More

Stayed here recently just for a single night in one of their loft rooms. Our bathroom looked recently renovated and had a good shower. Some of the furniture in the main room is looking a bit old, but otherwise a nice room. Location is excellent, right in the centre of the V&A. You are right next to the shopping and... More

This was my third stay at the V&A Waterfront hotel, and I've always been pleased there. As others have stated, the location can't be beat. Yes, it's in a touristy location, but if you're a tourist, this makes a perfect home base, as do The Dockhouse and The Queen Victoria across the street, which are also Newmark properties, but which...

We booked this hotel though Imagine after reading what other visitors thought about it. The location was perfect for us, being just a few yeards front the Waterfront (out of the door, turn left, cross the road and you have arrived). Our room was clean and large with a well equipped bathroom. The staff were excellent, helpful and friendly. The... More

As it is not a 5* hotel, it could be forgiven it's shortcomings; older fixtures in bath, no slippers with robes, thin towels, etc. After saying this, the V&A has the perfect location on the Waterfront. If you are too tired after a long day of site seeing, all one has to do is walk across to the Waterfront mall... More

Geat location in the Waterfront district of Cape Town, hundred of restaurants, shops and things to do within walking distance. Very safe area. Large airy room with French balcony and great view of Table Mountain. Large bathroom, if I was to be picky the bathroom fittings were of an average grade for what is an expensive hotel for Cape Town... More

Location, location, location… and view, view, view! Situated on a wharf in Cape Town’s popular Victoria and Alfred Waterfront my Table Mountain / Harbor view room (#211) at the V&A Hotel offered a grand view of this beautiful city… in the foreground the harbor with sailing boats and seals. On a nearby wharf, the Cape Grace Hotel sits with Table... More

This place is located in a nice place on the waterfront with many restaurants and shops to choose from. However, the hotel internet is shoddy at best. I would rate it on par with internet service you'd get in the middle of nowhere - nonexistent. You'll likely get service on your device the moment you sit down, but what a... More

The rooms,suites and apartments are extremely luxurious, we stayed in a 3 bedroomed apartment overlooking the harbour at the front and table mountain at the back. The staff on reception were very unhelpful and it felt like they were doing you a favour letting you stay in their apartments. The complex was extremely large and sprawling and far too big... More
