We waited for close to an hour to get in. She was very sweet and obliging but we barely ever saw her after checking in. No help in terms of advice for our stay in Cape Town etc. Very comfortable accommodation though. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### local and 12 Mar 2020 Liked: Staff & service ##### local and Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Ocean View House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Ocean-View-House.h3091584.Hotel-Information) > > [The Old Foundry Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Old-Foundry-Hotel.h57820595.Hotel-Information) > > [The Portswood Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Portswood-VA-Waterfront.h526896.Hotel-Information) > > [The Alphen Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Alphen-Boutique-Hotel.h46794.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rockefeller Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Rockefeller-Hotel.h71673357.Hotel-Information) > > [Krystal Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Krystal-Beach-Hotel.h15651822.Hotel-Information) > > [Southern Sun The Cullinan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Southern-Sun-The-Cullinan.h118030.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Taj-Cape-Town.h3016361.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Collection Hotel, Waterfront Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Waterfront.h545852.Hotel-Information) > > [Tintswalo Boulders](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Tintswalo-At-Boulders-Boutique-Villa.h31526122.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-President-Hotel.h526107.Hotel-Information) > > [ONOMO Hotel Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Signature-Lux-Hotel-By-ONOMO.h27811489.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clarendon - Fresnaye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Clarendon-Fresnaye.h3004641.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagoon Beach Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Lagoon-Beach-Hotel-Spa.h1320739.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Westin-Cape-Town.h916261.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House at the Queen Victoria Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Manor-House-At-The-Queen-Victoria-Hotel.h19310581.Hotel-Information) > > [Pepperclub Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Pepperclub-Hotel.h3534309.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Sky Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Hotel-Sky-Cape-Town.h63494685.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Bay-Hotel.h18132.Hotel-Information) > > [The Commodore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Commodore-Hotel.h83744.Hotel-Information) > > [Vineyard Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Vineyard-Hotel.h523689.Hotel-Information) > > [Living Hotel Lions Eye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Houghton-View-Guest-House.h10633636.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountain Marina Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Mountain-Marina-Luxury-Apartments.h24940058.Hotel-Information) > > [Victoria and Alfred Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Victoria-Alfred-Hotel.h46797.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Cape Town City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Pullman-Cape-Town-City-Centre.h17925242.Hotel-Information) > > [The Onyx Apartment Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Onyx-Apartment-Hotel.h28825118.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson RED V&A Waterfront, Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Hotel-VA-Waterfront-Cape-Town.h18644202.Hotel-Information) > > [City Lodge Hotel Victoria And Alfred Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-City-Lodge-Hotel-Victoria-And-Alfred-Waterfront.h485189.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-AC-Hotel-By-Marriott-Cape-Town-Waterfront.h29305328.Hotel-Information) ---
