Nicolas

Disliked: Cleanliness
Pros - Shuttle to and from the V&A Waterfront - Location is in the heart of the city - Friendly Staff - Nice Views - Comfortable beds Cons - Cleanliness of the room was sub par for a 4 star hotel. (Oily hand marks on walls and furniture, moldy shower mat, residue and dirt stains on tub and sink areas, dirty vents.) - Limited options for food and quality of food is sub par. Better to eat at a restaurant by the V&A. - Charged CAD130 to have checkout 3 hours later. Was also given 2 different amounts and it was a note left on file, not a hotel charge. - No shuttle service to the airport. Overall, it’s an alright place to sleep at night, but would not consider this to be a 4 star hotel, 2 and a half at best. Would not stay at it again though.

Pleasant, but a bit outdated

Great location, I had everything that I needed. The staff were friendly and helpful. It would be better if the Southern Sun did a major re-vamp to the rooms as the fittings are a bit outdated. But overall, a pleasant stay was had.

The property is about 20 mins from CPT. It's downtown so it's walkable although not recommended for women to walk alone at night. It was about 10 minutes from Waterfront. The hotel is excellent 5 stars. The free breakfast is very hearty -- hard to believe it's free! The staff was wonderful and I loved the ambiance!

I stayed in a suite facing Table mountain. That view was spectacular. The suite was spacious, clean and well maintained. The bed was very comfortable and amenities worked well. Great breakfast selection. The only downside— wifi on the higher floors was not consistent -/ tough for business travelers . If that was better 5 stars. It really is in a convenient spot in the heart of Capetown. You can walk anywhere
