We spent five nights at The Commodore in Cape town as part of our two week holiday and enjoyed the stay so can certainly recommend this hotel. Very convenient location, just a short walk to the Waterfront. The staff are very attentive, except perhaps those on duty during the breakfast service. I was on the 3rd floor (non smoking floor)...

We stayed in the Commodore 3 nights at the end of November 2011 and liked the hotel very much. We had a room with a gorgeous view to Table Mountain and Harbour. The location is ideal for a short walk to the V & A Waterfront with a lot of good restaurants. The staff was very friendly and helpful and... More

The Commodore Hotel Location is amazing. It is walking distance to the waterfront so we could be creative with the dinners and shopping during the evenings. Candice at the front desk was helpful and kind, helping us get checked in explaining about the tasty buffet breakfast and connecting us with the travel desk. Pia at the Travel desk at the... More

The second day I was there, I decided to treat myself to a pedicure in their spa (don't waste your money)..and as I returned to my room, a housekeeper was coming out. As this was mid-day, I was suspicious and went in to check my valuables. Sure enough, most of my money was gone. I reported this to the hotel... More

The commodore is a lovely old fashioned hotel with a fantastic staff and a breakfast that though repetitive caters for all tastes.The rooms are spotless and so are the bathrooms. The airconditioning in the public parts of the hotel is fine but in the rooms it does not manage to cool the rooms up especially after being out all day... More

Stayed in the hotel twice. Great location, easy just to walk walk down to the waterfront shops and restaurants. Rooms are good size, not the most modern but comfortable and clean. Breakfast is not exciting, every day the same and even the potato dishes don't change. The bar is ok too. Only downfall, the water has a terrible taste of... More

We stayed for 4 nights just before Christmas. The hotel was very pleasant and very convenient for the V&A Waterfront - we felt completely safe walking back and forth both day and night. The room was fine, breakfast was good as was the one lunch that we had - we ate out every night. The staff and service were excellent... More
