Top Nelson Mandela Gateway Hotel Reviews

ONOMO Hotel Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very friendly, helpful and professional. Rooms were very clean. Would stay here again."

The Commodore Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly and Helpfull staff. Good selection at Breakfast and excellent service at dinner. Comfortable bed and great view from the balcony."

Cape Grace, A Fairmont Managed Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had the best experience"

Taj Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

"I've stayed at The Taj many times, this time was a different purpose as I had a medical procedure to undergo. I wanted to know I could recuperate afterwards in a hotel where I would have a spotless clean and quiet room, plenty of space, great amenities, full blackout curtains, comfortable bed, choice of pillows, and having great staff on hand to take care of whatever I would need in my stay. Knowing I would not really leave my room for a few days I need a great room. All of this I got, and great in-room dining. I was able to enjoy the J-Wellness spa before I had my procedure which was great for being relaxed and ready for that. As ever The Taj and the wonderful staff who work there really excelled at making it a great experience. I will be back soon."

Southern Sun The Cullinan

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at Southern Sun with the kids! The heated pool was definitely their favourite. they had so much fun! Friendly staff, comfortable stay, and a great place for family"

Hotel Sky Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

"Good location, extremely clean, great breakfast"

Protea Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront Breakwater Lodge

8/10 Good

"The rooms are small and have no space for suitcases, so you end up having to step Over your suitcase on the floor. The staff both at the front desk and in the restaurant were super friendly and helpful. The property is at a great location and is clean and well maintained."

Victoria and Alfred Hotel by NEWMARK

10/10 Excellent

"My son and I had an amazing stay , the staff are exceptional . Hotel is lovely and close to restaurants / shops etc"

InterContinental Table Bay Cape Town by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Location was unbeatable. The hotel is directly connected to the mall and also within walking distance of the Oranjezicht City Farm Market, which made getting around incredibly convenient. The whole surrounding vicinity felt safe, and the views from the hotel were stunning. With Table Mountain in the background, we even caught a rainbow while having breakfast by the window overlooking the wharf — such a memorable way to start the morning. If I were to nitpick, I would suggest going down earlier for breakfast if you want to enjoy the spread at its freshest. Perhaps because we were there on weekdays and turnover was lower, some items felt like they had been sitting out for a little while when we went later in the morning. Nothing major, but worth keeping in mind. The room itself was comfortable and well appointed, and we particularly appreciated how easy the hotel made our stay. Between the waterfront location, the views and the convenience of having the mall right next door, it was a very easy base for exploring Cape Town without feeling removed from the city. Overall, I would happily stay here again, particularly for a first visit to Cape Town. The location really is the standout — convenient, scenic and in an area where we felt comfortable walking around."
