    ...In terms of location, I think the hotel is more suited for a business stay, as it is near the CBD or Cape Town, and it is not within walking distance to the Waterfront or Promenade... Overall, these are my ratings: Hotel: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Location: 3/5 Definitely a good stay!...

    It seems to us that the Taj Cape Town is a real bargain... A suite with a view of Table Mountain cost noticeably less than single rooms at hotels that appear to have similar views and amenities... You can also read complaints that the Taj is not a 5 star property, but the Taj is not charging anywhere near what the high end properties charge in Cape Town...

The food at Bombay Brasserie was just perfect and Mr Sakhe at the restaurant made the dinner even more special with complimentary dishes and even getting the dishes prepared as we wanted , for us as Indians, we had a great choice of food and never felt that we are so far from our home Cheers, would definitely stay again when in CPT and it’s highly recommended...

    ...Typically you would associate Taj with good hospitality and service and when traveling abroad, you would want to stay with them to feel safe and close to home. However we are extremely unhappy with our experience so far at Taj Cape town... Its been 4.30pm and we are still waiting for 1 of our 2 rooms...

    ...From stepping through the door, we were made to feel welcomed straight away. Having had luggage issues at the airport and arriving late evenings, the staff were extremely helpful trying to find us amenities to see us through the night - this is something we will forever be grateful for... The staff right across the hotel were very friendly and made you feel at home... We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Cape Town!... Thank you for making our stay perfect...

    ...The room, the restaurants, the breakfast buffet were all excellent. But what put our stay over the top was the staff... We have stayed at high end hotels all over the world but we have never experienced such a friendly and considerate staff as we did at the Taj Cape Town... We received daily phone calls enquiring how our stay was and to ask if we needed anything... The waitstaff at breakfast always asked about our stay and how we were enjoying Cape Town... Housekeeping kept our room fresh and clean and made sure that we had everything that we needed, Most impressive was the door staff who asked us every morning what we were going to see that day and upon our return would ask how our day went... The staff made our stay at the Taj feel so warm and comfortable that we really hated to leave... In fact, when we were leaving for the airport, we received handshakes and farewell hugs from the front door staff...

    ...Apart from the general compliments to the ambience, the view and the service of the hotel, this review is particularly for one particular member of staff: Mr Joshi, the lead Indian chef at the hotel. Right from day one, in spite of our specific and limiting food constraints, Mr Joshi took enough time and effort to understand what we can eat, and prepare dishes accordingly... Hats-off to Mr Joshi...Taj Cape Town in lucky to have you...

    ...The front desk folks are all simply amazing - every request and question was answered with a smile and quick wit. We dined at all the restaurants - several times - and had amazing food with impeccable service... The lounge staff were personable and helpful and the concierge was amazing... We had a rental car and the valets were super at fetching our car and helping with bags etc... Our room was cleaned to perfection every day and evening turn down was a nice touch... We even got courtesy calls from the front desk asking if we needed anything... I just can’t praise this hotel enough and thank them from the bottom of my heart for a stay of a lifetime...

    ...Although we booked 2 separate rooms ( mountain & city view ) we were upgraded to a 2 bed suite inc Taj Lounge Facilties. Thanks to Duty Manager Honest for his input... The concierge lady was very informative and even accompanied us to a local sart point for the 2 hour walking tour of historic Cape Town... The Lounge facilities although quite small were well administered by Inocent aided by OneLisa... Nothing was too much trouble noteing customers requests Breakfast was served in their Mint Restaurant with cooked to order main courses and a very large selection of fruits, meats, breads etc... We ate on one evening at the Bombay Brasserie which was excellent... Attentive service and good choice of wines... We shall certainly use this hotel group again...

    I stayed at the Taj for a week during a work retreat, and I was more than impressed with the level of hospitality that was a part of every experience of my day. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the staff was knowledgeable and extraordinarily friendly... I found that everyone I spoke with was joyful and cheerfully willing to guide me in the right direction and help me out... On my way out, they even gave me a sweet goodie bag with some travel essentials, and I was taken aback by the generous gesture... The staff was even willing to walk me next door to one of their adjacent locations, so I would not have to walk alone outside, and I did not even have to ask for them to accompany me... I 10/10 recommend staying here as a guest!...

The excellent service always starts with Audine from the reservation department, who always takes care of us, and help us with our request... We always get amazing service from Primrose from the restaurant, she is always taking care of us during breakfast, and she is the best waitress there... The rooms are great, you have 2 daily services in the room, and everything is well maintained... The gym and pool are also great , the gym is well-equipped...

    We booked a one bedroom suite with executive acess for 2 nights... Sharon at the club lounge was dedicated to offer the best service... Took 30mins to be served and the bread itself was stale!... For Breakfast lots of variety to suit all tastes and fresh products and an ' a la carte menu' As our flight was at night, we asked for a complimentary late check out which is one of the previledges offered to TIC members... The concierge staff were always ready to help with a very polite attitude...

    ...We had an early flight when arriving but it wasn't a problem and from meeting Jade at reception, he went out of his way to help and give advice, he even chatted to us when for was off duty on the hoho bus and tried to sort out our sim. Nothing was too much trouble and he was so enthusiastic, even making sure my husband had chocolates in our bedroom on his birthday... The hotel is well located for the shopping area, the hop on, hop off bus and local bus stops which we used frequently without any problems... The shuttle bus wasn't operating in November but it was easy to get to the V&A on the bus or Uber... The guys on the door are very helpful in making sure you jump in the right taxi and have good local knowledge regarding places to eat... Staff are very friendly and ask about your day ahead, special thanks to Candice who always made time in the dining room to speak and make sure we were happy... Spoiling my husband on his birthday with a lovely cake was also very thoughtful... In addition, we were going whale watching and being picked up at 6.30am so Candice made sure we could enjoy a cooked breakfast earlier than the opening time of the buffet, so thanks to the chef too... In fact, everyone was great, the hotel was clean and the view of Table Mountain from our bed was great... Drinks in the hotel were very reasonable for a 5 star hotel and the bar staff were also very attentive...

    ...Upon arrival at the hotel, we were greeted warmly and our luggage and car was attended to. The valet parked our car every day since our arrival, and brought it out front again when we wanted to go somewhere... The overall atmosphere was quiet, relaxed, peaceful, and high-end... We had a swift check-in and were upgraded so our rooms were extra luxurious and spacious, with a stunning view of Table Mountain and Lion's Head... The rooms were really comfortable, the bed was one of the most therapeutic mattresses I've ever slept on, and the hotel service was speedy and efficient... We found the pillows too soft, and the staff quickly brought us harder ones... They also gave us complimentary bath salts so we could enjoy our bubble bath... The breakfast room had a nice ambience, but I felt the taste and quality of the food could have been better - it was average... Nevertheless, the kitchen staff were really friendly and helpful... However, the hotel is centrally located so that it is still a close drive to all the main attractions, like the Waterfront, Promenade, Bokaap, Table Mountain, etc... Overall, these are my ratings: Hotel: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Location: 3/5 Definitely a good stay!...

It was cleaned properly each day and included a nice turndown service... The facilities included a gym and pool... It would be great if the pool was a bit warmer... The dry sauna was nice but it's not easy to get the key to the locker... The spa had reasonably priced services and the staff really are attentive... You can use the steam room and jacuzzi there... My rate included a breakfast buffet which was extensive and varied... I also ate at Bombay Brasserie which serves the right-sized portions and the service was top-notch... I enjoyed a few drinks in the Lobby Lounge which was relaxing, not loud at all... I highly recommend the Taj Cape Town...

In the evenings, we had also taken drinks at the whiskey bar - and was impressed with the range of whiskey on offer...

    A wonderful trip and a fabulous hotel and fantastic location. Lots nearby (eateries, bars, shopping, galleries and more… the Waterfront is 10mins drive from hotel - taxi: 100 rand (£4.50); Uber: 54 rand (£2.75) or 20min walk... In entry you are greeted by cheerful and helpful porters... We arrived too early to check in so was ushered to the spa where we were able to shower and start our first day in comfort... We spoke with the concierge who gave us tips of where to go... We were given tips on where to go for the best experiences... You must visit the Waterfront (take a cruise if that’s your thing - we loved it) and a must do visit ‘Gold’ restaurant which offers the best African entertainment... The hotel room was spacious, comfortable and clean and stylish... The hotel hosts a sauna, swimming pool and gym; with a full spa facilities...

By far, one of the best stays we ever had. Am surprised that in one of the reviews someone spoke about theft ! I really do not think that the guys here cannot be doubted at all and customer service seems to be the main motive that drives the behavior amongst staff. We had great experience with the concierge where Dale and Jade were very helpful. They even arranged for the hotel transport for us to go and have a dinner on our 25th anniversary, The folks at the breakfast are so amazing from Amy, Lorenzo, Khanyi and Widaad. The manager Merven was also so cordial and warm through out our 5 night stay there and it almost felt like home with these enthusiastic bunch of people working there. They also gifted a bottle of wine for us. The spread at breakfast was amazing and since we are vegetarians, this made it very easy for us to have some amazing indian vegetarian food as well,

We spent 6 nights at the Taj, Cape Town. Our one bed suite overlooking Table Mountain was really huge and beautifully appointed. One of the most comfortable beds we have slept in. Service in all areas of the hotel was excellent. Dale, the concierge, was so helpful arranging trips transfers etc. Felicia in the Mint restaurant was just superb, very professional, helpful and pleasant - I hope her outstanding service and potential are recognised. We also ate in the Bombay Brasserie - a wonderful fine dining experience at an excellent price. We enjoyed the Club Lounge where waiters were so attentive. The free walking tours that leave from Motherland Coffee next to the hotel were great. We used Ubers to get around the city. All in all a fabulous experience.

We booked the Taj Cape Town through a large UK based travel agent. We booked and paid for a Table Mountain view our confirmation said Table Mountain view – NOT Mountain view. We booked 5.5 months in advance and booked for 5 nights, after visiting 3 substandard rooms, without the view of Company Gardens and Table Mountain, the Taj Duty Manager to magic up a room we had requested AND paid for. The view was lovely! Room 1206 – and 100% worth our perseverance. The room itself was dated, old red and spirally carpet, and battered room furniture and the bathroom flooded with over 1 cm of water filling the bathroom floor (the hairdryer is attached the bathroom wall!)

The first impression of the hotel was great. Atmosphere, room, breakfast. After it began, at first the polite concierge tried to charge three times more for the service and behaved in an insolent manner when he realized that he would not receive anything. And the cherry on the cake is the theft of $3,000 from a safe, leaving half of the money. Conclusion: they are operated by professionals and, with a high degree of probability, they are covered from above. An ordinary cleaning lady cannot calmly open a safe and take as much money as she wants. And the important point is that nothing can be proven. There are no witnesses when you put money there.

Check In at 3pm and it wasn't ready any earlier. It is worth checking if that is the case if you arrive earlier as you're better off dropping bags, and going out to see the city, rather than waiting around. Wonderful spacious room overlooking Table Mountain Room Service & in room facilities were excellent Staff were fantastic. Especially lovely to our little boy. Breakfast - a little chaotic but good selection. Swimming pool - was quiet and nice temp. The gym looked really good if that's your thing. Nice location, a little rough in parts. We chose to walk down to the waterfront in the day only (approx 25 mins) and always got an Uber back.

A lovely 5 night stay in the Taj hotel in Cape Town. The room was very nice and the staff were extremely helpful at all times. We had a lovely meal at the Bombay Brasserie. It is in good (and safe, certainly in the daytime) walking distance to some lovely places to eat. The concierge service were very helpful in sorting taxis etc. It was a lovely stay.

I think it’s one of the best places to stay in Cape Town. The restaurant Bombay Brassiere serves good quality Indian food which are reasonably priced. The hotel has a heated swimming pool, gym and spa. The hotel employees are very courteous and they really give the warmth of staying in Taj. Overall stay experience is par excellence.

We had a splendid 8 night stay at this wonderful majestic hotel, having stayed at a few Taj hotels in tge world, we had high expectations and Taj Cape Town did not disappoint! The friendly warm staff could not do enough to make us comfortable especially the concierge’s Jade, Dale and Teshwin. They carefully curated our itinerary which meant we made the most of our time in Cape Town. Jade thank you for looking after us so well and being so patient with us right from our arrival and Dale for pulling off the Gold Restaurant booking for us! Truly memorable! Our incredible Taj driver and tour guide Abraham took us on a detailed tour of the peninsula in our Land Rover discovery and shared many stories of the country’s rich culture and diverse history which is an experience that will honestly stay with us forever and Abraham made it incredibly meaningful to us. The amenities in the hotel were excellent including the spa and swimming pool which were a welcome indulgence after touring the city spots. Our 2 bedroom suite on the 11th floor provided us with ample space as a family of three with a teenager and was an unexpected surprise as a complimentary upgrade especially as we were celebrating my husband’s and son’s birthdays while we were there. The food was of excellent high quality and there was plenty of choice in the mint restaurant for breakfast, we especially enjoyed the masala dhosa! The Bombay Brasserie meal was incredible as our first night meal and Suzy an opulent venue with the tastiest modern Indian cuisine. We drifted off to sleep so well every night as the beds were incredibly comfortable. Thank you for the most memorable stay which felt like home away from home for us and we can’t wait to be back!
