Located in the very interesting suburb Seapoint and adjacent to the city and V&A Waterfront. Short taxi ride or healthy 3km walk. This is a comfortable hotel and the price is reasonable for what you get. Dont expect everything to be perfect, the shower may be weak, there may not be a remote control for the TV etc. etc. but...

The rooms were simply ok. Bathrooms were not very clean and felt a bit squeezed. I loved the view of the Table Mountain from my room and the surrounding area. Food wasnt that great- seemed to have problems managing dining when there were huge groups of people at the hotel. It is in a good location- waterfront is a near... More

My husband stayed at this hotel for a month - and then I joined him for a 2 week holiday. The manageress was extremely helpful and any requirements immediately sorted out. It's a value for money hotel - a good base to go out for the day and come back to. Our room faced the pool - it was comfortable... More

When we first drove up the Ritz we got quite discouraged. This hotel looks BAD from the outside. You can see that it once was a ritzy hotel but over the years has not been taken care of. The lobby, elevators and especially the corridors look a mess. The hotel room doors are paper thin and probably very easy to... More

The ambience is pleasant with a nice pool and public areas.just outside the lifts However my room was infested with cock roaches I found two inside the bed and at least 16 in the bathroom. I have no way of knowing if this was typical or just my room (13th floor ).Also there was a huge really damp patch on... More

it was really ok, the food it was cold and the ostrich meat was really bad in comparation of the rest of the restaurant in Cape Town, one of the best thing is the view, a wonderfull gyratory restaurant. the prices it was high in comparation of the quality. but the services as usual in Cape Town was really good.

Stayed here for 4 nights whilst on business in Cape Town. Exceptionally cheap, and very well located. Handy car park (though not free), and slightly temperamental wifi (though also not free). Breakfast good, and excellent, friendly service in the restaurant. The top floor revolving restaurant is very good, and well worth it for the spectacular views. HOWEVER, having said these... More

Stayed here for 2 nights. The location is ok, but if you are walking..the V&A Waterfront is about 45min walk from the hotel and downtown even further. There are a few restaurants/bars/shops/internet cafes on the Main St just walking distance from the hotel. I stayed a few nights in another hotel downtown and the location was way better!

Don't be misled by its name(Ritz)!!It's just a three star hotel with acceptable standard double bedrooms(on the 20th floor the view is breathtaking!!),a somewhat poor quality buffet breakfast(not enough Danish pastry or fresh fruit),a very polite reception staff,a wonderful revolving restaurant on top and a TERRIBLE cleaning service!!Three nights in a row we had to go down and claim for...
