Hotel was clean, friendly and had a great location - walking distance of town and the waterfront, but a bit of a trek to walk to Table Mountain! Lovely breakfast and very helpful tour desk staff. Secure parking too. more

Hotel was spotless and only short walk (20 min) from the waterfront. Staff pleasant and helpful. Restaurant food was good but with a rather limited menu for lunch and dinner. Breakfast buffet is excellent. more

This hotel has a great location as it is located right on the edge of the V&A waterfront. The hotel is nothing fancy, but is okay if you are going to be focusing on the watefront area. I would split my time with this hotel on the waterfront and possibly another property that is closer to the beach. The service... more

It is located very close to the VA Waterfront (10-minute walk) and to the red buses stops, so very convenient if you want to enjoy the bus tour. However, one should not expect... more

In staying an extra night in Cape Town the City Lodge Hotel was ideal. Located on the entrance to the V&A Waterfront is had a good location in Cape Town. The Room Only rate was about 90 Euro which was very good when comparing other hotels in the locality. Access is easy with alot of parking on the ground of... more

My third stay at this hotel and enjoyed it very much. Have glanced at some of the other reviews and perhaps people do not understand this is a "no frills" hotel in a fantastic location.
