The hotel is located in a great area, right on the Waterfornt. Tons of restaurants, shops and great atmosphere. The rooms are pretty big but the furnishing is sparse. Nice bathroom and overall the hotel has a very clean and tidy feel. The one big drawback was the staff. The front desk staff were not very accommodating. I asked for... more

We stayed at the V&A Hotel over the New Year period and had a wonderful time. Unfortunately I had broken my leg shortly before the trip, but the staff were so friendly and helpful that this in no way affected the enjoyment of our stay. A great example of this was New Year's Eve which we spent at Baia, a... more

This hotel may be expensive but it is perfectly located on the waterfront within walking distance of hundreds of shop, restaurants and entertainment. The room are very roomy and plush. You must have a mountain view as we don't see the point of staying here otherwise. The opposite side of the hotel overlooks the car park. more

As many other reviews have noted, the V&A hotel is, in my opinion, located in the absolute best place you can base yourself while on vacation in Cape Town. The waterfront is amazingly beautiful and convenient. Shopping and tons of restaurants are right outside the hotel door. The Robbin Island Ferry, Aquarium, and some other sites are all within a... more

What else do you want from a hotel in Cape Town but a view of Table Mountain and the facilities of the Waterfront right on your doorstep? Breakfast outside overlooking the marina and Table Mountain with a buffet including oysters and champagne. Rooms tastefully furnished and very comfortable and the location is absolutely brilliant. We paid extra for a mountain... more

Service very average, especially in the evening. Do not understand why not given pot of coffee at breakfast - need very attentive, organised staff to provide top-ups and they weren't. Signs of cost-cutting - toiletries not replenished (tho may just be the inefficiency as mini-bar also not replenished), no nibbles with drinks, no bread offered with evening meal. Inefficient front... more

This hotel is in a perfect location right on the waterfront and is a bit tucked away from the busier part of the waterfront. It is so easy & safe to walk everywhere during the day and night and there are many bars, restaurants and shops in this lovely waterfront area. Breakfasts were brilliant with a huge choice of fruits,... more

We recently went to South Africa on vacation and wanted to stay five days in Cape Town. Friends suggested we avoid the city center because of safety issues. We decided to stay at the Victoria & Alfred at the waterfront. It could not have been a better choice. The rooms (except for the loft rooms) were large and comfortable. We... more

Our family had a fantastic trip to Cape Town while staying at the V&A Hotel. The location of the Hotel is fantastic right in the middle of the waterfront. A little bit touristy, but very fun with access to lots of activities for little ones. Within easy walking distance of the Aquarium, Scratch Patch and harbor cruises. We has a... more
