I stayed at the hotel for just one night to attend a business meeting at a nearby location. I selected the hotel based on price and location and was pleasantly surprised! The rooms are modern and pristine clean. Employees are helpful and go out of their way to assist you and make your stay pleasant. The location is excellent, right... More

Myself and my husband stayed at the V&A Hotel in May 2012 and I can highly recommend them. Their rates are very reasonable and you receive great value for money. Beautiful, spacious rooms and excellent food. Also well located - on the Waterfront Pierhead. The staff is very professional and helpful - from housekeeping staff to management. Thank you V&A...

They have the best buffet breakfast and the friendliest of staff. Shudley (driver & bellman) is a great source of info (he helped me track down bunny chow--a specialty Indian dish native to South Africa)...Yakeen and Janina are the greatest bartenders. Miss my new friends there. Excellent place to stay! More

I stayed at the Victoria & Alfred Hotel for 2 nights at the end of cruise. We arrived early after desembarking the ship and checkin went very smoothly. Our room was not ready but that was no problem as we were going out all day on a tour. They stored our luggage and when we came back we only had... More

We arrived early morning (08.30am) and were welcomed by lovely porters and reception staff. As our room wasnt quite ready we were served complimentary tea/coffee on the terrace overlooking the waterfront and Table Mountain. Within an hour our room was made available. Bearing in mind that check in is normally 14.00. Our room was very spacious and fully equipped with... More

Clearly the location of this hotel is stunning, wonderful views and very centrally located for the waterfront. However, it feels as though this hotel trades off its location, and as such doesn't really need to bother to try doing anything else. We decided to treat ourselves to a night at the V&A after a few days in Hout Bay and... More

Stayed twice at the V&A hotel recently, just loved it. The location is fantastic, our room both times was right on the harbour, we could see seals playing under our window. The room is very spacious, good quality bathrooms and great service. The breakfast offers very wide choice of buffet and orders are taken a la carte for eggs, bacon... More
