Very good position, walking distance from the waterfront. We were there for businnes but also for turists this hotel gives and excellent value for money.

I also recently reviewed the Fourways Johannesburg City Lodge. What a contrast, and not in a positive way. The Cape Town City Lodge must definitely be one of the cash-cows for the group, and it is feeling overworked and getting due for some love and attention as both it and the team feel a bit tired. It's convenient for the... More

Spent two nights on a business trip. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Check-in happened as one would expect and the room was very comfortable. Old television set with limited programs but the rest of the room was nicely decorated. Bed slept like a dream. The Coffee Shop has a nice menu for something to eat and enjoy in... More

I have stayed at this city lodge 4 or 5 times over as many years. We stay there because when in CT all we need is a place to sleep as we are out for most of the day. There is the added bonus of an excellent breakfast and very nice staff. The room for ourselves and our children is... More

Was glad that we were to stay at the hotel after reading the reviews, but it was not to be. Upside 1. Reasonably good location, 5to 7 minutes walk to the waterfront . 2. On weekdays muffins and fruit are placed on the table to take away (very thoughtful). 3. The restaurant in the basement has good food and wine... More

The location and reviews lead me to this hotel, and I was deeply disappointed. This hotel is under staffed and certain basic facilities are not available. For example there is a nice restaurant in the property but one cannot order room service from this restaurant. If you like to order room service there is a menu in the room that... More

The location is excellent. The breakfast was pretty good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were small old and in need of modernising. There was a musty smell for the duration of our visit. It was only very adequate and not good value for the price charged. When we returned to Cape Town after a week travelling,... More

Our second stay here, the prices are on par with a stay in a similar hotel in South Africa. That is until you add breakfast which makes the stay pricey for a family of 5. It's close to the waterfront, and very central in Cape Town, so position is great. The rooms are okay, and we did manage to get... More

This was our second stay in the City Lodge Cape Town, this time at the Waterfront. We were in the city to take part in the Two Oceans marathon. What we appreciated the most from this venue, besides the comfortable accommodation and good location, was the way everybody was geared to accommodate the needs of the group of runners. From... More
