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

We stayed for the long weekend of 15th December, and this hotel proved a win. Its conveniently located, the breakfast int he morning is GREAT :-), and the staff were incredible. We have previously stayed at the waterfront sun, the Cullinans neighbour, which cost more, and we were far more impressed with this hotel More

Checked in on 28th December. The location is great for sightseeing a 10 minute walk to the Waterfront using the pedestrian bridge over the main roads or take the Courtesy bus from the hotel which drops at the rear of the Waterfront Shopping Centre and will collect you from there. Its also only a 15 minute walk to The Company... More

Arrived at the Cullinan 28th December for a 7 night stay. Hotel was quite impressive looking and we were greeted by very friendly staff. Our travel agent had requested an upgrade for us but this was not granted. The room was ok but nothing special although the bed linen was lovely and white as were the towels in the bathroom.... More
