Stayed with our two small children for a week in Februray. Very friendly, helpful staff and a good family friendly restaurant with buffet breakfast. The pool is small, more than about 4 kids would fill it. No option to eat outside - restaurant is on first floor. Shuttle to Waterfront is reliable and free - if you ask for a... More

Stayed here in January for one night before flying back to the UK, it was an early flight so my driver asked them for a take away breakfast which was delivered on time to my room and was perfect. Staff were excellent; the afternoon, relaxing by the pool, was pretty good too. I had lunch here before heading down to... More

Stay here at least twice a year. Great hotel, well situated and the staff bend over backwards to make it an enjoyable hotel.Food no matter if it is breakfast,lunch or supper is well presented and top class. Only downfall is that it does not have free wireless which today does add that extra travellers want. More

We spent five nights at the Cullinan in January 2012. We had to get two rooms for the five of us (a down side), but at least they were adjoining. They had the best buffet breakfast we've ever seen - and it was included in our room price! In addition to the expected omelet bar and wide selection of foods,... More

Impressive hotel, reception staff & porters very helpful & friendly.The free hourly shuttle bus to V&A Waterfront was extremely useful & efficiently run. The rooms are spacious & comfortable,public rooms splendid. Our only complaint was the indifferent, disorganised service at breakfast on our first day, after we had pointed this out the service improved dramatically & we had no further... More

The Cullinan has a Colonial feel to the entrance and service. It aims at the higher end of the market and i think it succeeds. I enjoy the feel and decor of the hotel, the serivce i have always found excellent, and the location is very good. I have used this hotel both for business and also pleasure and it... More

This hotel is next to Cape Town city centre and close to the V&A Waterfront (it is walkable during the day, but there is also an hourly shuttle there from the hotel). The staff are exceptionally welcoming and helpful and there is a very nice poolside bar and cafe. The rooms are comfortable and of an international business/tourist standard. The... More
