I’ve stayed at Taj Cape Town several times over the years, and it’s always been one of my favourite hotels in the city. The location is good — right in the heart of Cape Town, close to the Company’s Garden and many of the city’s main attractions. The staff are truly wonderful — warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. Their professionalism and friendliness create a welcoming atmosphere that makes every stay pleasant. That said, compared to how the property felt two or three years ago, the hotel now feels a little tired and would really benefit from a light renovation or refresh. It’s still elegant and comfortable, but it has lost a bit of its sparkle. Unfortunately, during this stay, my travel companions experienced an unpleasant situation: a portion of their cash went missing from their belongings. Not the entire amount, but enough to be noticed. Thankfully, the hotel management handled it professionally and provided compensation, which was appreciated — but still, it’s a reminder to keep valuables very secure and to be cautious even with the in-room safe. Overall, Taj Cape Town remains a charming and well-located hotel with excellent service and kind people. With some renovation and tighter security measures, it could easily return to being one of the best hotels in the city.

Room was Amazing, choices of pillows, every small detail catered for. Food in Mumbai Brasserie was delicious, staff very attentive, absolutely loved it. Food in the Mint restaurant was also fabulous as well, however, service is on the slower side. Choices for the breakfast is fantastic, caters for all, staff can be more attentive. At times they are away with the fairies. For me this can hamper Taj’s good name, who is renowned for their attentiveness ( Especially what I have experienced in Indian Branches).
