“VINTAGE TAJ!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

We stayed at this property for 3 nights in early May and found the place outstanding. As we stayed under the Family Getaway offer, I requested and were upgraded to a Two Bedroom suite which was very spacious and had a fantastic view of the Table mountain. The rooms were clean and top notch. The Breakfast was good but the choices were a little less for a hotel of this calibre. We had Dinner at the Bombay Brasserrie and the food was awesome and the Restaurant manager Mr Hilton Ruch worked out a good deal for us. The quality and choices were fantastic over there especially the Fish Tikka is well worth a try over there. The only small let down was that the offer included a Free drop to the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront but as there are only 2 cars you may have to book atleast a day in advance to avail of this service. Otherwise the concierge was very helpful. The location of the hotel is good with shops and restaurants close by. The service overall is top notch. If you are planning to visit Capetown GO FOR THE TAJ.

Room Tip: Get a room on the higher level floors for good views of Table mountain

“Impeccable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2012

It is rare to stay at a hotel where you have no complaints about service, rooms, etc. Taj Capetown is one of those experiences. The hotel rooms are very nicely furnished, quite grand. The hotel location is excellent, right in the Centre of Cape Town. The breakfast is great, plenty of options, including the Indian breakfast, for the more adventurous. We stayed here during peak season - around New Years Eve in 2011. The hotel staff made the stay absolutely unforgettable. At the time, we were desperately looking to rent a car, but couldn't find one in any of the rental agencies. Taj made it possible by calling their contacts, and found not one but two different options for rental. they organised the entire thing for us, and left letters in the room to give updates, while we were out sightseeing. When I had problems connecting to the internet via IT, they got someone to spend about half an hour walking me through the process of changing IP setting on the computer, etc.

Definitely recommend this hotel to anyone. You can pick up the phone, call the concierge for anything and everything, and it will be done.
