We have just returned from 2 weeks in Capetown with a junior cricket tour. We were a party of 30 adults and children and the Cape Suites met all of our needs.
The staff were friendly and helpful and the facilities were great.
The rooms were more than adequate with the only complaint being that in the high winds that we experienced on a couple of days the windows and doors tended to rattle.
The food was excellent with plenty of choice.
The location of the hotel was perfect just below table mountain and a short taxi ride to the waterfront that was regularly costing less than 40 rands.
If you are considering this hotel for a group tour - partyicularly for young people it is ideal. Enough room to feel that it is open and gives enough freedom to kids to move around out of sight of parents but in complete safety due to the excellent security.
The hotel would not suit everyone - the pools are both very small with limited sunloungers for that all important downtime but it is ideally located for exploring the city and the mountain.
The morning singing by the hotel maids is not to be missed.
Overall - well done and thanks to the staff of the Cape Suites for contributing to our wonderful experiences in Capetown - We hope to be back soon with the next crop of cricketing youngsters from our club.

We have just returned to Ireland after a trip to South Africa. We found the Cape Suites to be a charming little oasis in Capetown with good facilities, very helpful staff and clean spacious rooms with balcony, all nestled at the foot of the mountain!! It was wonderful!
The Cape Suites do not profess to be the Savoy in London or even the Mount Nelson in Capetown and this is reflected in the price! This is a clean, friendly hotel with great access to Capetowns many activities and staff that are genuinely keen to help.
We would definately use them again!

Our agent had booked the room for us. We were disappointed. We thought the hotel was 4 star but looked not even 3 star. The personel was not helpful or friendly and the rooms not nice at all. If I had checked earlier on Tripadvisir I would have known that it was not great. That teach me a good lesson for next time.

After seeing some of the nasty reviews, I had to write to share my experieince.
We picked this hotel as there were 3 of us traveling and we wanted a 2 bedroom suite. We had just finished a high-end safari, so we were ok with saving a few bucks. The property was very secure, had a guide at the gate. It was super easy to find and I did find it for the first time well after midnight, in a rental car.
The rooms are not new, but very serviceable. The beds were comfy and the linen's nice. We had 2 bathrooms, and both had plenty of hot water. The first morning we noticed a light out in the living room, which made the room really dark. We told the front desk and by the time we were back, it had been fixed.
I really take exception with the comments about the breakfast, the breakfast was great, ours was included in the room cost and we certainly were pleased. They had hot made-to-order eggs, multiple sausages (beef, chicken, mutton, pork, ect....). They allowed you to sit and enjoy as much coffee/tea as you wanted, for as long as you wanted.
The internet was pricey, $5US for 15 minutes, but you pay for the convienents of having it in the lobby. Yes, I could have gone to an internet cafe and paid less, but the choice is there for you to decide.
One of the ladies at the front desk was not clever, but the other lady was great, gave great driving directions and many good touring tips.
No, this is not the ritz, but for the price you pay, I thought they offered alot of value. I would stay here on my next trip to Cape Town.
