My wife & I stayed for 3 nights at the Portswood & found the staff to be more than helpful.The breakfasts were excellent & we had 1 evening meal which was 1st class.Having said that the array of eating houses on the waterfront was mind boggling,all types & prices. We thorougly enjoyed are stay in Capetown,prior to our cruise back... More

A lovely stay! The staff are friendly, from reception, the concierge, to room service and cleaning. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. We were actually a bit "uncomfortable" with all the attention as we are not used to such excellent service in South Africa. We only experienced service and attention like this overseas. Thanks to all for making our stay such... More

for our first visit to cape town we could not have chosen a better hotel. the location was perfect - adjacent to the waterfront but very quiet. comfortable rooms, good facilities and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality and price of the dinner. delicious breakfast. most enjoyable stay and we would happily use this hotel again.

It is close to the Aquarium and terminus for the red and blue open top bus tours. The... More

We stayed at this excellent Hotel during the past weekend for the Cape Argus Cycle Tour. It location is excellent on the V&A Waterfront and the price extremely fair for its location. Very clean Hotel, great breakfast but its biggest asset is its friendly and helpful staff. Will be back again soon!

One can hardly improve on the proximity to the V & A, Aquarium and Pavilion Conference Centre, all at an affordable price. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Would stay there again.

I have just returned from this hotel. For a spot in the downtown V and A area of CT it is very good. Other hotels "nearer" the quays charge a fat premium, however the Portswood is literally 90 seconds walk from the bars and nightlife and half the price. But what I felt was above and beyond was that check... More
