Great hotel in a good location”

View of Table Mountain. Close to shopping. Great room

Our stay in Capetown was great except for the weather which was cool and rainy. The hotel was very modern and well situated to explore the city. It was an easy walk to the Castle and to shopping. Room was very clean and beds were comfortble. Easy taxi ride to the waterfront and a big selection of restaurants. a great place to stay if you want a central location.

Southern Sun cape Sun Hotel”

The views toward the ocean and the mountain were magnificent. The hotel had a free shuttle to and from the Harbour which was handy for shopping for souvenirs
The hotel decor is a little dated, though still functional

I arrived late at night and was asked whether I wanted a water view or mountain view, settled for the water view and it was good. The staff were helpful and attentive at all times. Came in late one night with a group and wanted a drink at the bar which by now was closed, noproblem said the staff member, who organised room service delivered to us in the hotel foyer, a real no problem service mentality

Confortable rooms, nice view of table mountain, free shuttles to and from waterfront

I had a very nice stay at the hotel, but I did not try the breakfast. Breakfast was not included in Agoda deal, and it was very expensive to pay for breakfast. The Hotel is next to a small flee market which is nice. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and Longstreet is just a street away. Shuttles to and from waterfront are free and very convenient.

Wij zijn zeer kritische reizigers maar zijn vol lof over dit hotel. - Onze vlucht bevestigen; werd voor ons gedaan. - Na het uitchecken konden we s avonds toch nog douchen. echt een aanrader en dicht bij de leukste markt van Kaapstad n.l. greenmarket. Er gaat vanuit het hotel een gratis shuttle naar waterfront.

Location
Leaking in bathroom, room door access system

The hotel is centrally located, within walking distance to the African Market. Hotel also has shuttle services every 30 minutes to the V&A Waterfront, but they charge 15R per person for the service for one way. The breakfast spread is good, but serve the same food everyday, without change. The card door excess system to the room is a nuisance, i have to get it validated 4 times during my one week stay. Everytime when taking shower, the water will flow to the floor from the bathtub, and wet the whole floor and there is no drain. Other than these, it is a pretty good hotel with friendly staff, but need to be more proactive in attending to customer's complaint.

Lovely Hotel in the heart of CBD Cape Town”

We had a great stay at Southern Sun Cape Sun. It's a very well kept stunning hotel. Check in was easy. Love the piano playing older gentleman who gave the reception area such pizaz. The porter's are super friendly. The hotel room was perfect. But we did find some trash in the room. Housekeeping super fast and accommodating. We did have to pay for parking though which wasn't included in the overall room booking which made no sense. Breakfasts were great..large selection and variety for all. An overall good experience.
