We were upgraded on arrival and the rest of our stay was wonderful. The rooms are very spacious and the bath rooms very modern. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delish. The hotel is well situated for traveling in Cape Town.

While COVID is no doubt putting pressure onto hotels, I find this hotel is starting to show it's age. Breakfast is well presented, considering, but not great by any extent, just OK, COVID can't be blamed for everything ... and at R4000 a night, certainly not good value.

Dear Keith f Thank you for taking the time to submit your review. We love hearing from our guests about their experiences with us. Certainly, there is no greater seal of approval than to be acknowledged by a guest! One of South Africa’s most luxurious hotels, with views that are nothing short of breathtaking and an inimitable charm, it is no surprise that The Table Bay Hotel has a reputation of being ‘Cape Town’s finest address’. Our promise is to deliver the quintessential South African experience – an experience that acknowledges the depth and diversity of cultures, landscapes, people, cuisine and activities not found elsewhere in the world. From the warm welcome at the reception desk and genuine greetings from staff throughout the hotel, to its bouquet of distinctive, bespoke experiences, an authentic South African experience is always promised at The Table Bay. Our people are people at the very core of delivering the authentic South African experience and world class service for which The Table Bay is internationally renowned. We are delighted that we had the privilege of hosting you. Thank you for your feedback. We look forward to seeing you again. Kind Regards Darryn Pypers Guest Relations Manager

First and foremost, I’d like to compliment all the staff who were absolutely charming and very attentive. The hotel has a superb location and views but unfortunately it is trading too hard on that and not sufficiently compensating for what lacks inside. I have no doubt that it would have been “the” place to be when it first opened but staying there now, feels rather dated. Having said that if you’re just looking for a base in the V&A and not too fussed about the rest, then it’s perfect - but from our perspective we would have just as happily extended our stay in Camps Bay and just taken the 15 mins taxi to the V&A. The breakfast was also a big disappointment and not commensurate with a hotel of the standard it is aiming for - think lines of people hoarding around buffet stations and understaffed service. This hotel has so much potential but just needs some TLC to bring it back to its glory days. …
