Good hotel, perfect location for visiting the city and dinning in the waterfront. Loved the breakfast and the service. House keeping was good. The hotel is lovely set. Waterfront is a very good area for entertainment with family, kids, friends or couples. Recommend it to everyone

I stayed here for a couple of nights with my wife. The rooms were luxurious and large, the bathroom was epic and the staff were amazing. The hotel has a restaurant serving very tasty food and really beautiful breakfasts in the morning. It also has a spa where you can get a very reasonably priced massage that really sets you... More

This was our first stay at this hotel and it was a great experience. The hotel is not even 5 minutes away from the Waterfront. The service and friendliness of the staff was exceptional. A special mention must be made of the food (the lamb burgers were to die for!), we had no need to walk to the Waterfront for... More

The Queen Victoria Hotel was just about everything anyone could ask for in a hotel. The staff, at all levels were polite, cheerful and very helpful. The accommodation was very comfortable and immaculately clean. the food was excellent and plentiful. The situation overlooking the V.& A. waterfront is quite spectacular. Good shopping within easy reach. The whole area is delightful.

My son and I had a lovely stay here at Easter 2013 - great, personable service and excellent quality hotel infrastructure and right in the middle of the Waterfront. Classy little boutique - highly recommended

Visiting Capetown for the first time, it is highly recommended to stay around the V&A Waterfront. So we were delighted with our stay at the Queen Victoria which seems to be built on a little hill overlooking the Waterfront with direct access by stone stairs; well lit and good security around. The grounds are shared with 2 other hotels, the... More

We were transferred here from the Victoria & Alfred and were surprised and delighted. A beautiful hotel that is nice and quite in a great location. The staff are fabulous and rooms fantastic. The little sweet treat left at night was a yummy addition each day.

We stayed for one night and wished it were for much longer. The location is fantastic and very handy for the waterfront and tours, as well as getting in and out of CT. Our room was very well appointed and luxurious. All of the staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough to please. The breakfast was so plentiful we... More

A delightful experience. Staff is exemplary, friendly, helpful. Literally across the street from the harbor and shopping. The room was spacious, quiet, with heated towels, well lighted. Breakfast buffet was fine (we did not sample the hot breakfasts). Recommended without hesitation!

Spacious rooms, excellent restaurants, quiet and nicely decorated. The breakfast is very good though with few options. Walking distance to the waterfront and still very quiet. A very good 5 star hotel.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Queen Victoria Hotel is the newest addition to Newmark Hotel’s portfolio, which offers a myriad of ideally located upmarket hotels, other accommodation options and restaurants. What sets this unique five-star boutique hotel apart is the attention to detail given by the creative team responsible for its development, who achieved this through their unwavering passion for awe-inspiring design.From the creative brief of ‘where classic elegance meets contemporary design’, every effort has been made to ensure that the 35-room Queen Victoria Hotel is a haven of calm, luxury and understated opulence amongst the hustle and bustle of Cape Town’s popular V&A Waterfront.The interiors create an ambience of peaceful elegance, through the use of greys and taupes, marble-clad walls, crystal chandeliers, white marble and wooden parquet flooring, not to mention the triple-volume foyer with its dramatic white spiral staircase, glass lift and crystal chandeliers. The signature shade of deep purple has been employed to add a touch of regal eccentricity as an ode to the historic figure after whom the hotel is named.From the food and beverage offering at the hotel’s restaurant and bar, Dash, to the interior aesthetic, the Queen Victoria Hotel embodies a sense of international flair fused with local flavour. The menu at Dash is structured around classic French cuisine, with all ingredients sourced locally and seasonally, while ninety per cent of the interior pieces were sourced from local design geniuses.With a management team and staff dedicated to making every guest feel like royalty, a stay at the Queen Victoria Hotel will certainly exceed your expectation of what five-star luxury should be like. ... more   less
