Southern Sun Waterfront Cape Town
5/5 Excellent
"The hotel was ideally located for us to explore Cape Town and a very short walk from the V&A waterfront district. The hotel did offer a shuttle bus service but we wanted to walk and see everything. The breakfast and choice was excellent. The staff were very helpful, courteous and polite. Would definitely recommend this hotel."

"Excellent location for our week in Cape Town. Easy access to downtown, and the Hop-on Hop-off bus. The rooms could use a bit of sprucing up, but overall it was a great bargain. The breakfast (included with room price) was excellent. "
