We stayed at the Graeme for 5 nights over xmas in a 2 bedroom suite. This was the old section of the hotel and I see there were new addistions which might be much nicer!
Whilst it was very spacious (2 bedrooms, lounge area and separate Kitchen,) and we were happy with that aspect the suite itself was old, lounge was stained as was the carpets.
The ceilings were all cracked with gyrock falling off, the windows you could hardly see out of. etc etc. noisy also.
The position was great we walked to restaurants and shops and not far from Waterfront. If you want a cheap spacious apartment wich includes a nice breakfast and is in a good position then this would be ok. But I wouldn't return

My credit card was stolen and used South African bars, restaurants, strip clubs and liquor stores. The Hotel Graeme was the only place I used my credit card in South Africa so it is pretty obvious that the thief is from the Graeme.

When I complained by e-mail Mary assured me she was taking this "very seriously" and conducting an "exhaustive search" and would be in touch with the results...which never arrived. My e-mails are now going unanswered months later.

While we were there it was very amusing to use the computers by the front desk and listen to the receptionist answer the phone becuase her answer to every question was "No" or "I'm sorry we don't do that."

There were some nice parts about our stay like the good scrambled eggs and the gated parking, but the stolen credit card clouds my whole experience with the Grame and Cape Town and I'm sure it would for you too.

Spent 6 nights at the Hotel Graeme, and were very happy with the location, accomodation and particularly the staff. From the moment of arrival right through to departure the service and attention was excellent. The breakfast was very substantial and could easily see you through to an evening meal. There are shops and restaurants right outside the front door, very convenient if you don't fancy the 5 minutes walk to the V&A Waterfront. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from the new football arena being built for 2010 World Cup.
We booked two trips with the tour company recommended by the hotel, these were excellent, Mac, the owner, takes pride in his work and goes the extra mile to ensure that your trip is something to remember as a highlight of your holiday. We would certainly return to the Greame again and confidently recommend it to others.

When our flat rental plans fell through at the last minute, I was forced to get on TripAdvisor to find a nice affordable hotel in Cape Town. This was my second trip to this beautiful city, and I wanted accommodations near the waterfront, but not too pricey. I was traveling with a colleague from Turkey who had never been to South Africa and was concerned about security, comfort, and cost.

I read all the Hotel Graeme reviews, and based on those, I took a leap of faith and called the hotel directly to book our two-room, three-day weekend. I also arranged for a pick-up from the airport, and an all-day tour to the Cape of Good Hope. We paid 450 Rand per room.

Well, all the reviews were right! No surprises, no disappointments, and great service! Our airport pick-up was there without a problem. The hotel arranged an excellent tour for us with a charming ex-pat American named Bobby Brodemus. The seaport was indeed a brisk 10 minute walk, BUT make sure you get good directions. And on Sunday, there was a huge African market in the park across the street. You have to bargain and most of the stuff you’ve seen elsewhere, but it was fun. Personally, I prefer the traditional shops all over the city.

Final note: We stayed for two weeks at the 5 star Park Hyatt Hotel in Johannesburg, and the service there was awful. For more than 7 times the cost of the Graeme, we got nothing but attitude and indifference. Buyer beware.
