My boyfriend and I visited this hotel for a weekend. The rooms are beautiful and stylish with all the necessities in place. The staff members are all very friendly. We had a problem with the staff from the restaurant though, we went there for a coffee and pastry in the afternoon, they said we should have come in the morning... More

Firstly location, this is nowhere near the waterfront, so either be prepared to take taxis or arrange your evening around the hotel shuttle bus which goes once an hour. Nothing much around the hotel except the conference centre, so only really convenient for that. We were unfortunate enough to be staying here when the Telkom conference occurred and they put... More

We only stayed for one night and two days so our experience is limited however for the time that we were there we cannot fault The Cullinan. The shuttle service was good and on time, the staff were helpful and very polite - the hairdryer in the room packed up and a new one, plus an ironing board and iron... More

I just have to give the best possible review of the customer service received at this hotel - especially from the restaurant staff. On the first day there were no bananas at breakfast - I asked if they could find some, they asked how long I was staying, and lo, there were bananas every single day for the rest of... More

Stayed at the Cullinan for 3 nights while attending a conference at the ICC accross the road. The service was fantastic, the rooms good, breakfast great. The location was perfect, litterally accross the road from the convention centre. Overall a great experience, highly recommended and a definate place to stay again.

We stayed in Cape Town at the start of our Holiday and were impressed by the quality of service at the hotel - the bar and restaurant were really attentive, we took the buffet option for two evenings (our Children's choice!) and the quality and range of items was outstanding. The chef even prepared a special stir fry for my... More

We stayed here in Feb 2012 with a toddler and were impressed with the hotel. The rooms were nice and renovated with great views and the food was great. Breakfast was excellent with a great variety but the service at breakfast was terrible with the waiters neglecting our table and we had to for example order toast about 3 times.... More
