History and modern luxury merge to create ageless beauty at the Victoria & Alfred Hotel, which was built in 1904 as the North Quay Warehouse. This iconic establishment was named after Queen Victoria and her son, Prince Alfred who played an intrinsic role in the establishment of the Breakwater Basin, now the V&A Waterfront. The hotel is located in the very heart of this internationally acclaimed destination and is a sophisticated retreat amid the buzz. It offers some of the most enviable views of Cape Town Harbour, Table Mountain and the slick city that stretches out at the foot of this Natural Wonder. Timeless elegance and personalised luxury are found at the award-winning Victoria & Alfred Hotel.

In the V&A Waterfront, the not-to-be missed star of Cape Town, there are some exquisite 5 star hotels like the Cape Grace, One & Only Hotel, and Table Bay Hotel. They will cost a pretty penny tho. If you are looking for something a lot more affordable look no further than the Victoria & Alfred Hotel. The location cannot be beat. It’s as good a 4 star hotel as you could possibly hope for. The hotel has a quaint and intimate feel. The check-in was quick and warm. There was a handwritten welcome note in the room. The room is a comfortable size and well appointed. The bathroom was modern and extremely clean and the shower great with excellent water pressure. I booked my stay with buffet breakfast. The restaurant setting (Ginja) where I had breakfast was stunning and tranquil, and the food quality was excellent, and service good too. Covid protocols are currently in place for the buffet section. In addition to the buffet we were able to order items off the menu too. Included in the photos I took are the magnificent view of the water and Table Mountain which you have from where I sat inside the restaurant this morning and from the outside seating area on the water. I would definitely stay here again.…

Thank you for your great review of the V&A Hotel Ryan We are so pleased that you enjoyed an all round positive experience and look forward to welcoming you back to the V&A on your next visit to Cape Town.

The staff are great, friendly and helpful. Unfortunately if you stay in this hotel you are unlikely to get good sleep at any point (day or night) due to the location being on the doorstep of the waterfront where people are constantly playing live music. It was disturbing and I did not get a single good nights sleep. Wouldn’t recommend unfortunately.

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to review the V&A Hotel and for your feedback in terms of the noisy environment you find the hotel to be located in the Waterfront - a working harbour and one South Africa's most visited tourist destinations. We opened our doors in December 1990 and over the past 30 years have literally had hundreds of thousands of satisfied guests staying with us and returning over and over again and as part of our continuous upgrade programmes over the years we replaced all of the hotel’s windows with new frames and double glazing just over 2 years ago. Please do come back on your next visit to Cape Town so that we can prove to you that this unusual and isolated incident is not the norm. Please be safe, have a peaceful Festive period and a more positive start to 2021.

We had the most amazing experience. All of the staff are super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The food @Ginja Restaurant is delicious. The prawn and wine platter combo was so good that we had to go back for it again the next day. Thank you to Andy and everyone else for making our weekend so special. See you soon xxx

From the moment we have checked in we were met with smiles and excellent service. We came as guests and left as family. Everyone was well trained and helpful. The managers were all hands-on and well trained to please their customers.

We booked for a winter warmer special to include breakfast and a massage at a local spa. Upon arrival we were greeted by very friendly and efficient staff. We were fortunate enough to be upgraded in our room choice, and had a fantastic room overlooking the harbor and table mountain. It was stunning, impeccably clean and neat. The doorman was so welcoming, they know how to make you feel special here. The breakfast was from a menu and was excellent.. we couldn't fault anything here. If you want to be in the center of the Waterfront and be spoil t..the V & A Hotel tops the bill. Hopefully we can get back again soon.
