This is a very high quality establishment – the location is ideal, the rooms are large, modern and well serviced, the beds are comfortable, and the buffet breakfast must be the best of any hotel in South Africa. Unfortunately, some (but not all) of the staff have acquired an attitude – very snobby. I don’t know what their problem was... More

Stayed 3 nights in superior double corner room with view of Table Mtn. Location can't be beat for convenience to waterfront. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Large bathroom with separate tub. W-fi didn't work first few hours, but after they reset, it was fine and fast. Did not eat at restaurant or use other facilities. No directory of services... More

Perfect location, right in the middle of the V&A Waterfront. The view is incredible. It's just unfortunate that there are so much to do in Cape Town that we didn't have enough time to enjoy the view. Check-in was a little messy but ultimately we got what we wanted in terms of the room and the view. The room was... More

Having spent 5 nights at the V & A, I believe that I can fairly comment on its strengths and shortcomings. Yes, as every one else says, it is in a great location which shouldn't bias one's opinion of the hotel operation itself. My mountain facing junior suite was well appointed with 4 large chairs around a small table plus... More

Nice hotel in great location, right on the water front and next to the shopping mall. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Looking a little tired in places particularly the bathrooms. Room large and with all the facilities.

This is a beautiful hotel. The location is great in the safe waterfront area with lots of security. Breakfast is great. Loads of restaurants nearby to choose from. Close to the open top bus stop to go round Cape Town and up to Table Mountain. Close to Robben Island ferry. Staff can't do enough to help and Lucy deserves a... More

After leaving our safai trip, we flew to Capetown to stay at the Victoria and Alfred Hotel. The people who checked us in were so welcoming and nice. They knew that we were celebrating our 25th anniversary, so when we got to our room, there was champagne waiting for us. What a nice touch. The view from our room was... More

We spent a week in Cape Town, South Africa @ Victoria & Alfred hotel. We chose this hotel because of the location, on the waterfront, near lots of restaurants & shopping. I requested a room with view of waterfront & Table Mountain----it was excellent! The day & night staff were very, very helpful!

If you are looking for a very comfortable, international hotel, clean, friendly, with an outstanding restaurant at a very fair price right on the waterfront this is for you. Always stay here when working in the Cape. Loved looking out of the Windows and seeing the big sea lions sleeping on the deck. Discovered that giving many small tips to... More
