"Great stay! We were 4 nights in a private room and we really liked the place. It was clean, cozy and the bed was really really good, so we had an amazing sleep. All staff members we met were so incredibly nice, which made it really special to stay there. They are hosting little gathering every evening that you can attend. This makes is really cool for solo travelers that want to connect. The location in Green Point is also very safe, so that you can go for a walk. Highly recommended"

"This place was terrible. To start, they tried to make me pay again when I already paid online. I had to speak to the owner on the phone who lied to me about it and was extremely rude. I booked two private rooms and they tried to make me share a room with another guest. I refused because I paid more to have my own room. They do not provide wifi like is advertised and when I pressed the owner, he gave me one coupon for 100mb internet for two rooms (4 people). I told him it was advertised online as...

"Breakfast we couldn't get the required service the staff was mostly in the kitchen. Parking was safe,room was clean your ironing board was to too short it could iron a dress properly."
"Love the location. Breakfast is excellent although tables can be hard to find at busy times. Staff good. Bit of gripe, the iron in the room had not been cleaned and it left a huge black mark across a white shirt that’s now ruined."
"Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room was nice; however, it was too warm and the air conditioning was centrally controlled, so no option to change that I could see."
"This is my overall pick for Cape Town, South Africa. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home and just spoiled rotten. The hotel was very clean from the dining areas and rooms to the gym facility. I can't rave enough about this place! The food was incredible! Definitely 5 star quailty on everything. "
"We were very happy with our stay at the Commodore and would recommend it highly. Before our stay, I was concerned about location, but it’s a very easy walk and safe walk to the V&A waterfront. The breakfast was excellent. The actual dining room while we were there was closed for a few days as they did some work on it, but the outdoor dining area was opened as was the bar area so I think they handled that situation very well. We ate dinner there one night and the food was excellent, but the service could have been better. We had a suite on the sixth floor and it was wonderful with a lovely view. "
