A great value hotel while on business in Cape Town. Attentive service, clean rooms @ an affordable rate. The hotel is easy accessible via the highway from the airport within 10 - 15 minutes and the time to get into the city bowl is a mere 5 minutes. The view over the harbour and the bay is very nice.

had an awesome vacation, and this hotel is very family orientated, definately not for a business person with tight deadlines needing peace and quite. Staff are very plesant and make every effort to please. Well located to allow easy access to city and surburbs. Very good value for money. Only, one has to queue for breakfast, but I suppose that...

I have been going to Eastern Boulevard almost every December for the last 20 years and know all the staff and their names. I love the hotel because its home away from home. The new name is really not appropriate. We cannot name the whole of South Africa after Nelson Mandela. They could have named the Garden court in Port... More

I specifically chose this hotel for it's location as I had to commute to Stellenbosch and needed to be near town, the V and A and Century City. Needless to say, I had no regrets as you are literally just off the highway and could get around with ease. The added bonus was the beautiful vistas of the harbour, as... More

The hotel is well priced and offered everything that could be expected from a 3 star hotel. The staff were friendly and efficient, the rooms were clean and comfortable. Overall it offered good value for money. The best part of the hotel is that it is extremely central which makes attending meetings around cape town hassle free.

We've stayed at garden court eastern boulevard 6 times over the last 3years. It's just value for money. Not the grandest of rooms. But it's well sized. Bathroom needs better ventilation. But spend less time in room and more enjoying the beauty of CT. Breakfast is brilliant. I like the lamb sausage options. Even using thee renovations it was still... More

Visited a few times in the last year and found the hotel to be very comfortable. Priced right and location is central to everything. 5 mins to Waterfront and 15 mins to Century City. Clifton and Camps Bay are approx 15 mins away. The view of the harbour from the rooms was spectacular. Breakfast is solid and they do cater... More

I went to Cape Town for one week to attend a conference. The room was fine, but none of the adaptors that I had brought with me from the USA worked. The staff insisted that each room had one that worked with US plugs, but mine did not have one. I had to go out and walk a block to... More
