In Cape Town for the Two Oceans Marathon - 3 night stay over Easter – and this hotel is perfectly placed for the start line. The staff were amazing, they were knowledgeable about the Marathon, had a special “carb” evening meal before the run, a runners breakfast at 4.30am for the 6am marathon start. Lots of energy drinks, popcorn and... More

I stayed at the property for 3 nights and really enjoyed my stay. Rooms are comfortable and staff is courteous. Lots of places nearby to go for dinner and an Indian restaurant right within the Hotel premises in case you don't want a pizza or spaghetti any more. You can hear the sound of the winds even with the windows... More

My husband and I just spent a long weekend at the Sun and found the staff to be exceptionally friendly and helpful. It's the first time we have stayed in Newlands and it is a very central location. Really good option if you do not want to be in the hub of the tourist district.

I stayed for three nights, the staff and reception was very friendly and efficient. The room has two comfortable double beds, a flat screen TV, with all the DSTV movie channels, tea and coffee making facilities. The air conditioner was a bit noisy; however I preferred to open the huge sliding window for cool fresh air from outside. The view... More

Staff were helpful and friendly, room was immaculate and well-appointed, very comfortable bed. Breakfast was superb with no queue and GREAT coffee - order a skinny decaf cappuccino with... More

Not really a business hotel. Seems to be geared for sports teams. Very poor bathroom. Location convenient for me but not good tourist location. Breakfast area crowded and food presentation poor. .............

I decided on a surprise visit to my daughter over the festive season. Unfortunately had to change my plans for accommodation. I was really lucky to get 2 nights at your hotel considering that it was a last minute arrangement. Then I managed to get a third night which really made the whole trip easy for me. Thank you so...

We stayed in the hotel in July as our son had come to Cape Town on a sports tour with is school. We chose the hotel because its where all the parents stay, being central to the area where our boys were playing. Being part of a chain of hotels, we were expecting a certain standard, but nothing more. We... More

My husand and I had visited this hotel earlier this year and were very disappointed. When the general manager, Sebastian Berinato, read my review on TA, he immediately got in touch with personally to apologise. On top of this, he offered us a complimentary weekend at the hotel. We flew down to Cape Town in September to visit the Whale... More
