    The service at the Queen Victoria is exceptional. I am not saying this lightly since I have had the privilege to stay at hotels all over the world. The staff are just superb, at breakfast, the bar, the front desk. Nothing is too much trouble for them, they are organized, friendly beyond belief and huge fun. The sun shines even brighter when you enter the breakfast area and you’re greeted by ‘Carol’! It is rare to see someone so devoted to her guests and so skilled in her job! A true gem!

    Outdoor facilities adequate but limited by the size of the property plot. Unheated pool very weather dependent for warmth. Gym adequate but again limited by the space available.

    Breakfast equally good as an international hotel. Good buffet and service of hot selections. Staff giving attentive service. Dinner equally good but menu could very more on different days

    Unfortunately, we had a flood in our room from the room above on the 31st of December in the afternoon and all other rooms and nearby hotels were fully booked. I understand this situation is out of the hotel's control so they couldn't do much at that time. The staff from the reception and management was really nice, took our wet clothes and had them all cleaned free of charge to compensate for the unpleasant situation. However, I would have appreciated if the cleaning lady would vacuum the debris from the floor. Even if there were works happening to fix the leakage, we asked for the room to be cleaned, but it took more than a day for her to clean this up. She arranged our bed and bathroom but left the wet towels and dirt from the flood on the floor. On a similar note, the door of the room where the cleaning ladies stay is always open with dirty dishes, cleaning materials, and hotel supplies (water, shower gels) at the entrance. Every day on our way to the elevator we see it, I believe they should close the door and keep these items inside as it gives a bad visual impression to an otherwise clean and arranged hotel.

    Breakfast was amazing, really delicious, great quality, and big portions. The restaurant has views to Table Mountain, it was delightful to eat there every day. The management and reception staff including staff at door is amazing. They call you by your name, and always have a helpful or good word to say. We felt very welcomed every time we arrived back to our room. The location is simply the best out of all Cape Town. right next to the waterfront with plenty of restaurants, bars, promenades available. There is a big mall where you can shop for everything you need, also the boats for various excursions depart from there. The hotel is in an inside court, hidden and extremely safe, would recommend for families as well. Overall we are extremely pleased with our stay, thank you very much!

    Reception to the TV needed to be fixed. Prices are relatively higher (due to being in a tourist hot spot) compared to other locations in Cape Town.

    The location is so central to everything. Shopping, sightseeing bus, good spas and bars.
