CAPE TOWN - Hotel recommendations

Recommended Posts

Hello Faival, the V&A Waterfront and surrounds has a huge variety of accommodation options to choose from, Trip Advisor is always a good option, or you could look at the V&A Website... http://www.waterfront.co.za/stay/overview

 

If you are wanting to visit Robben Island while you are here, I suggest you book your tickets well in advance as it tends to be booked up weeks in advance in peak season. You can get your tickets online at... https://www.webtickets.co.za/

Suggest you research this on tripadvisor.com.

 

Agree on above about checking TripAdvisor. BUT, part of the question is as to whether you want to be directly in the middle of the busy V&A Waterfront?? Or, nearby? For our five days in wonderful Cape Town earlier this year, we did not want to be too much right in the middle of the "circus". We were close to there, but got a different feel for the town by staying at the Cape Royale Hotel.

 

Here is more regarding the Cape Royale Hotel. This location was a handy, easy walk from the V&A Waterfront. It overlooked where the oval stadium sits that hosted the 2010 World Cup soccer games. This hotel is an apartment/suite-style facility with many dining and shopping options nearby. It was built and open in 2010 in connection with the World Cup being in South Africa. It is at 47 Main Rd, Green Point, Cape Town, 8005, South Africa. Their website is: http://www.caperoyale.co.za.

 

As the picture below shows, it has a "French-style", cosmopolitan style/design. We loved the location as we did not want to be too much in the middle of the V&A waterfront. That shopping/entertainment area is nice to visit, but we wanted more of a "feel" for being in Cape Town, experiencing more of the city, living in the community, etc. And, being safe and handy as added factors. The staff and facilities worked very well at the Cape Royale. They have a nice pool/deck area on the top of the hotel that offered nice views, food/drink potentials, etc.

 

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

Here are two more pictures related to the Cape Royale hotel where we stayed. First is their main entrance. Second was the view from our room with its French balcony and the view towards the 2010 World Cup stadium. Very close, right?:

If you wish to stay in the midst of the action -- we can recommended the Victoria and Alfred Hotel. We have stayed in the past here, reasonably priced compared to others and we will be staying here again for our upcoming Silversea cruise.
