We were welcomed by a lovely gentleman handing us welcome drinks and handfuls of lollies! Check in was prompt and we were advised on things to do in Capetown and the sorroundings of the hotel. It is located about 12 minutes walk from the waterfront which have many lovely restuarants with local cuisine and many souvenier shops! Next door to... more

I stayed at The Cullinan, Cape Town. The Hotel is good but better is a tiny Italian place close to the Hotel (right behind opposite Bugati Restaurant). Pizzas made in fire oven is unbelievably good and wines are good too!! altogether made our stay memorable. The Cullinan serves excellent complimentary breakfast and their pool side restaurant serves good lunch menu.... more

My hosbound and I lived here for 8 nights. It was very close to the international conference center, to the waterfront and to the center of the city. The staff was friendly and humoristic and polite - all at the same time. Only inconvenience was the location of the swimmingpool right in front of the bar, where businessmen took a... more

I had reason to stay at the Southern Sun Waterfront on business in February 2008. It is a big chain hotel that used to be a Holiday Inn. It was high season and I had booked for a single night at short notice - however I still thought the R1800 per night rate steep for the rather small room. I... more

Have stayed in a couple of the other hotels at the Waterfront for business, but this time I was paying so looked for a cheaper option. Very impressed and surprised by this hotel at 700 Rand (about $US100). About 1/3 the cost of staying a little closer to the water. Good sized and very clean rooms, excellent staff, great breakfast... more

The hotel is very modern and definitely in the 4 star bracket. It is close to the waterfront area, but still a 10 minute cab ride away. There is a shuttle which runs every 30 mins to the waterfront and back and charges ZAR10 one-way. It is also very close to the city centre and therefore makes a good choice... more

Confronted with the choice of a hotel in this area of Cape Town, one may find that the prices can very significantly from one property to the next (door). The Southern Sun Waterfront is by far the best value. Be certain to book the correct location as there are several Southern Sun properties in Cape Town and some are not... more

I paid R1700 (about €250) for an executive room. For that price, it was very poor value. The construction is poor with little noise insulation and poorly fitting doors. The executive rooms are all near the lifts so they are particularly noisy. The beds are average quality with scratchy blankets and cheap sheets. There is no broadband internet connection so... more
