In summary, my expectations in respect of this hotel, were not met. However, management did try and make my stay as comfortable as they could. Things that made my stay comfortable: 1) Management and staff were great, and helped with anything that we needed. 2) The hotel is conveniently located, 1 km from the V and A waterfront, and there... more

My husband and I came back this week from spending three weeks at the Southern Sun Waterfront hotel in Cape Town. We have travelled considerably and have found this hotel to be the best for value of any we have been at. The staff were all friendly, friendly, friendly; the food was very good and all freshly cooked. The best... more

In many ways, this is a fairly typical four star city centre hotel, but, being Cape Town with its high standards, was above average. Reception was efficient, although not the best place to exchange travellers' cheques, as they are not fully licensed to do so. The reception area is spacious, clean, and welcoming. The bar and restaurant staff are extremely... more

Our family of 4 stayed in a "double double"- i.e. like a US room with 2 double beds for 4 nights for our stay in CT. We booked well in advance on the Southern Sun website and got a great rate. The room was quite spacious and we had a view of the "Lion's Head" from our window. The first... more

My husband and I stayed at the Southern Sun Waterfront hotel at the end of Feb. We had a very pleasant stay and have no complaints about the hotel. The staff are very nice and accommodating, concierge were very helpful and the room was nicely decorated and clean. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk to the waterfront. With... more

We recently stayed in Cape Town at this hotel, (twice as we left to go to the Kruger and came back), as my boyfriend had used it before. It has a few quirks but it is generally a good hotel and for the distance to the waterfront the price is its biggest draw. We had two rooms there, one with... more

I had reason to stay at the Southern Sun Waterfront on business in February 2008. It is a big chain hotel that used to be a Holiday Inn. It was high season and I had booked for a single night at short notice - however I still thought the R1800 per night rate steep for the rather small room. I... more

Have stayed in a couple of the other hotels at the Waterfront for business, but this time I was paying so looked for a cheaper option. Very impressed and surprised by this hotel at 700 Rand (about $US100). About 1/3 the cost of staying a little closer to the water. Good sized and very clean rooms, excellent staff, great breakfast... more

The hotel is very modern and definitely in the 4 star bracket. It is close to the waterfront area, but still a 10 minute cab ride away. There is a shuttle which runs every 30 mins to the waterfront and back and charges ZAR10 one-way. It is also very close to the city centre and therefore makes a good choice... more
