We stayed 1 night stay at the hotel. It was clean and the staff are helpful and friendly. The only downside was there was insufficient parking and we had to leave the car somewhere else.

I stayed in a suite facing Table mountain. That view was spectacular. The suite was spacious, clean and well maintained. The bed was very comfortable and amenities worked well. Great breakfast selection. The only downside— wifi on the higher floors was not consistent -/ tough for business travelers . If that was better 5 stars. It really is in a convenient spot in the heart of Capetown. You can walk anywhere

The property is about 20 mins from CPT. It's downtown so it's walkable although not recommended for women to walk alone at night. It was about 10 minutes from Waterfront. The hotel is excellent 5 stars. The free breakfast is very hearty -- hard to believe it's free! The staff was wonderful and I loved the ambiance!

We enjoyed our one-week stay at the hotel. The staff was amazing! A key misgiving was lack of a positive response when we requested for shuttle service to pick us up on arrival from the airport.

Good accommodation option, few areas to improve
Conveniently located at walking distance to the convention center, great view of the Table Mountain from my room (high floor). 6 lifts never let you wait more than a minute or so. There are areas that my experience could have been better, such as a faster check-in (took a while), fixing my air conditioner (not cooling properly), an office chair (the wooden chair was loosen and very non-ergometric, uncomfortable), more toiletry amenities (shaving kit, toothbrush, etc). The check-out gentlemen wasn't on a great customer-service mood.

Pleasant, but a bit outdated
Great location, I had everything that I needed. The staff were friendly and helpful. It would be better if the Southern Sun did a major re-vamp to the rooms as the fittings are a bit outdated. But overall, a pleasant stay was had.

The state of the hotel
This was our second stay in 10 years. The stay was very dissappinting, I had to park my car outside the hotel risking being mugged by thugs who roamed around. The hotels rooms had water leaks in the bathroom and some doors difficult to open. Please separate shower from bathtub. The name was rude and wanted to close whilst patrons we're having drinks. I had to call the supervisor.

It is sometimes the little things that can make a
Chose to stay at the Hotel mainly because of its proximity to the ICC where I was attending a Conference.The website showed it was very close and within walking distance. I must respectfully disagree and suggest all distances to other venues be reviewed. For me coffee in the room is most important. No milk was provided and all when it was it was far too little. All attempts to rectify this through the staff were unsuccessful. Unable to sign extras to the room unless one has a "credit" ? Not advised of this when I checked in. In fact it was confirmed that I could sign drinks etc to the room and settle bill when I left. But overall an enjoyable and comfortable stay with friendly staff.
