Wow! What a spectacular hotel. I’ve been lucky enough to stay in some amazing hotels around the world but this was the first time I’d stayed at a One & Only group hotel. It won’t be my last! You are made to feel as it you are the only guest at the hotel, everything they can do for you they do it. Our room was a table Mountain View room. It was Huge as was our balcony. A great spot for a morning coffee whilst taking in the amazing mountain! Location is first class, right on the V&A waterfront and access to all the bars and restaurants there. Helpful staff will go out of their way to arrange trips, transfers and offer advice of things to do. Breakfast was sensational, they highest quality food available from fresh oysters ( not my thing ), cheeses, cereals and other continental choices. Also options for the Asian market such and curry which is a staple breakfast option when I’ve travelled in that area. Fresh hot food and coffee is served and chosen from the a la Carte menu and option to eat on the outdoor patio is a good option. A separate review needs to be done for Nobu restaurant which is the only one in Africa and was amazing. The car area is beautiful and the staff were helpful in suggesting which cocktails to try first! It’s 6* for a reason! Just book it!! Read less

Coming from Dallas Texas our airline was delayed in Atlanta. It was two days before we could get to Cape Town. I had a four night reservation. Instead of canceling the two days we missed. They canceled the whole reservation charging me for all four days which they said was non refundable. They then charged me for the two days we were there. So I paid for 6 days for a two day stay. Very unreasonable policy. We tried getting a refund but but was denied. I will never stay at this wonderful resort again due to there unreasonable policy. Read less

Remarkable staff and wonderful property makes this a unique hotel in Cape Town. The staff looked after my family with care and warmth that was genuine. Food at Nobu is outstanding and the breakfast spread wonderful. They’ll run you to the waterfront mall anytime and arrange pretty much anything you need. Stay here if you can - you won’t regret it.
