In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Prime V&A Waterfront location — Guests repeatedly highlight the convenience of being close to shopping, dining and the harbour, with easy access to Cape Town’s attractions.
  • High service ratings — Service is rated 9.1, the highest score among the categories, and guests describe staff as friendly, attentive and personal.
  • Good value for the class — With a value rating of 8.4, several guests note the stay was excellent value, especially compared to booking direct.
  • Rooms with mountain or harbour views — Superior rooms on the south side face the harbour and Table Mountain, and guests praise the spacious, clean rooms with large bathrooms and double sinks.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • View not in every room — While many rooms have striking outlooks, not all do – so if a water or mountain view matters, you may need to book a specific category.
  • General rating lags other scores — The 'General' category scores 7.5, the lowest of the rating categories, which may indicate some inconsistency beyond the core experience.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Airport transfer is paid — The shuttle to the airport comes at an extra cost – it’s not included in the room rate.
