    The breakfast was terrible! And we wanted to stay longer but when we called the lady just told us we can’t. But when we arrived and asked the male at the reception, he took the time to actually look and make arrangements but it was too late because we had made alternative plans because the lady receptionist we called didn’t even try

    The rooms are lovely, best place to stay

    The hotel is not on the V&A waterfront. View from window during our stay was of shipping containers, not a waterfront, although the water can just be spotted in the distance. Movement on the rail track immediately in front of the hotel sufficiently noisy to wake me.

    Room clean and spacious. Bed comfortable. Found all staff very helpful and friendly. Good breakfast - hot items freshly prepared. Shuttle - by canal or road - to the V&A very useful, although return water transfer cancelled one evening due to ‘inclement’ weather.

    Dockrail Rd was blocked one end, making it impossible to access the V&A using the shortest route.

    Nothing ….. one or two reviews mention that it is not actually right on the V&A Waterfront which is correct …. but the enchanting complimentary boat transfer along the canal is a joy. Return by Uber or private taxi is so easy and cheap

    We had a fabulous 10 night stay at the hotel. The hotel was so so comfortable, the bedroom with a view of Table Mountain was spotlessly clean and quiet. Breakfast was included and while busy was really good and very well managed. The dinner menu was good and the food was excellent. A great stay at the hotel but without doubt the best part was the staff ….. they were truly exceptional and were so welcoming and attentive…. there are just too many to personally name but the reception and bar/restaurant staff were amazing. We have been fortunate to stay in many Marriott hotels in many countries and it almost seems unfair, because all have been good, but without doubt this is our favourite

    The view was to the a shipyard, so not so nice. We also missed somewhere to sit, and maybe have a drink or a coffee, outside the hotel.

    The breakfast was excellent. The dinner was also very good.The only thing to remark is that the restaurant was very cold and “windy” because of AC. The staff at the hotel were all very friendly. It was a bit difficult to get from the hotel to the center waterfront without taxi/Uber, so we used Uber back and forth and around the city every day.

    Better hotels available in Cape Town for same or similar price.

    The dining hall felt a little unclean and a little unorganised. The breakfast was okay, but certainly not what one would expect from a 4-star hotel. The check-in and general lobby experience was really quite bad. The lobby felt disorganised and not very clean. The music was intrusive. These made the overall arrival experience quite unpleasant.

    The location is great. The rooms are spacious and comfortable.

    The AC Marriott is a wonderful, friendly place to stay. It felt more like staying at a guest house than at a large hotel. The staff are all so nice and cheerful. Our large room has an amazing view of Table Mountain. Excellent buffet breakfast and also an A La Carte menu for freshly cooked eggs. We would definitely stay here again.
