    We can recommend a stay at the Queen Victoria Hotel when visiting Cape Town

    The pillows in the Manor House were horrible. Not the same problem in main hotel.

    Exceptionally friendly staff, great location and beautiful views. Rooms are spacious and beautiful, Manor House even nicer than hotel. The turndown in the main hotel was special and better than in the Manor House.

    Amazing location right near the Waterfront with easy access. The hotel is attached to the Queen Victoria so you get to use all their shared facilities and have amazing breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful with booking attractions and providing suggestions.

    There is not a lot to dislike about this hotel.

    Superbly located for the V&A Waterfront. Very comfortable junior suite which with a very large bathroom. Breakfast had everything you could want with a choice of buffet or hot breakfast. All the staff were very engaging and helpful.

    Our bath was leaking and after mentioning it was not solved. One major bottle neck was the amount of warm water. 3/4 day we had only cold water for showering…

    The rooms are very comfortable and enough space. View is good. Restaurant is very good and bar is a good place for a drink.

    Docked off a point for the price; slightly pricey for Capetown

    Booked a junior suite with mountain view and stayed for 1 night. The location was right smack in the middle of V&A. The suite was absolutely beautiful and the service was 10/10! Breakfast was so yummy with a great view of the mountain.

    We had no dislikes.

    All the staff were so very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate any requests we had. Nothing was too much bother. The Manor House is just lovely and we will certainly be back. We have travelled to many countries but I can say hand on heart that we’ve never had such a wonderful welcome as this.

    One word to describe the experience of staying at the Manor House is perfection. We were welcomed back like family, from our stay a year ago. The room (1404) is very spacious, beautifully decorated, huge bathroom with an amazing shower. Comfy bed, great WiFi. Excellent location for access to the Waterfront. Very safe and secure. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and a real asset to this Hotel. Delicious breakfast, make sure you give yourself enough time and go with an emoty tummy ☺️

    Bedroom is on the very busy road with the parking garages and all day, all night music from the restaurants and street artists. (Room)windows are not soundproof. No tumble dryer as stated in the description.

    Spacious bathroom, wonderful beds and linen. A short walk to the Saturday market (Oranjezicht), shops, museum, restaurants. Table mountain visible from the bedroom. Delicious, elegant breakfasts with a smiling Carol.

    curious that a 5* hotel doesn’t have bath salts/foam bath for such a superb bathroom. Road noise could be a little intrusive at times.
