    Straight facts, no fluff

    Fantastic position just blocks away from the vibrant waterfront! Breakfast was a delightful surprise with extensive options. Staff was generally accommodating, especially in assisting with accessibility needs. The facilities need some upgrades, but overall, a pleasant experience.

    balcony view
    broken sleeper couch
    dirty towels

    The views from the balcony were stunning!

    We faced significant issues with our room comfort. The sleeper couch was broken, making it impossible to relax after a long day. Our frustration mounted as we were moved multiple times without a comfortable solution, making our stay quite disappointing.

    great location
    comfortable room
    varied breakfast
    noisy air conditioning
    dated decor

    The location of The Commodore really stands out. Just a short walk from the waterfront, it made exploring Cape Town easy. The room had a great view of Table Mountain, which I appreciated every morning. Breakfast offered a solid buffet with a decent variety, though the scrambled eggs were particularly enjoyable. Staff members were friendly and mostly helpful. However, I experienced issues with loud air conditioning in my room, disrupting my sleep. The decor felt somewhat dated and could use a refresh. Overall, despite some inconveniences, I would likely consider this hotel again for its prime location and lovely views.

    great location
    exceptional hospitality
    generous breakfast
    dated room
    noisy air conditioning

    The hotel is ideally located just a five-minute walk from the V&A Waterfront, providing easy access to shopping and dining options. The public areas are beautifully designed with a nautical theme, and the staff displays exceptional hospitality, ensuring all needs are met. Breakfast offers a generous buffet featuring fresh produce, cooked options, and an egg station. The outdoor swimming pool area is a great spot for relaxation after a busy day of meetings.

    The room felt slightly dated with noisy air conditioning.

    Loved the naval theme decor and the pool area was super relaxing after a day of exploring. Each morning was a treat with a stunning view of Table Mountain from my room, never get tired of it!

    noisy environment

    Noise can be a real pain, especially late at night. doors tend to slam shut loudly, and street traffic adds to the ruckus if your room faces outside. The decor looks a bit dated and some amenities in the room, like the air conditioning unit, are old and clunky. Daily breakfast rush can feel chaotic, with long queues and occasional food items that don’t taste fresh.

    Great hotel with excellent air conditioning, 24-hour reception, and outdoor swimming pool. The staff once helped me with currency exchange recommendations, which I really remember. I highly recommend it for a relaxing stay!
