Situated right in the waterfront development so with access to restaurants, shopping, tourism etc - and you breakfast on the harbour with a view of table mountain. Speaking of breakfast, this really is excellent too - a first class buffet and cook to order hot food. More

We stayed here six nights following a world cruise segment ending in Cape Town. I always research hotels carefully, and I couldn't have made a better choice. This hotel is right on the V&A Waterfront, where we had a wonderful buffet breakfast each morning while watching the seals play only a few feet away from our table. The staff were... More

I have stayed twice at this hotel for conferences and it is deserving of it's five-star rating. The rooms are excellent, really big and well appointed. Try to get a room overlooking the water, the view to Table Mountain is definitely worth a photo or two. The staff from the front door through to the room cleaners are so polite... More

Dear Mona I was shocked to receive your TripAdvisor posting and wanted to revert back to you even before we conduct a full investigation into the poor service that you received at The V&A Hotel recently. It will be much appreciated if you would please be so kind as to let me have as many of the details as you... More

We had 3 nights here as a stopover from Australia to UK in Jan 2012. Wonderful hotel - so central to the lively waterfront. It felt a very safe area. We had a very large room overlooking the piazza & never heard any noise. Breakfast was perfect with champagne, oysters and smoked salmon if you fancied them! It was spotless... More

Two night business stay at the V&A. Positives: It's a perfect location if you're on vacation, as it is in the heart of the Waterfront, so you can walk 2 mins to the shops and restaurants. Free parking, subject to capacity. This is pretty near peak time and they found me a space each evening. Gorgeous building. Excellent breakfast -... More

Just came back from an amazing trip to South Africa: four days in Cape Town, 5 days in Mala Mala, where we saw many, many animals - the Big Five Plus, Plus, Plus - back to Cape Town, then down the Cape Peninsula, over to Hermanus, up to Franschhoek, and finally back to Cape Town. With each return to Cape... More

This is the second time we have stayed here and it is consistantly good. The rooms are spacious (make sure you have a harbour/mountain view) and comfortable. The food and service are of a high standard. Being in the heart of the waterfront is marvellous with everything within walking distance. If you have a car there is free parking. A... More
