    I had the triple room which was impeccably clean with a lovely view of the harbour. Location: the hotel was close to the V & A waterfront which has shopping & many restaurants to choose from, and the beautiful Cape Grace on the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town;)))

    The bed in my room was very hard.

    fine location
    excellent service
    limited dining
    inconvenient breakfast

    Why it might work for you, or not

    The hotel is fine with lovely furnishings and a fantastic location. Staff's excellence and unparalleled service, offering us a nice experience we won't forget.

    Dining options felt limited, particularly for late-night cravings. And to go downstairs for breakfast was quite inconvenient after a late night.

    Absolutely fantastic hotel, up there with the very best. The staff are superb from the garage attendents, through room service, reception, door attendents and drivers. Whoever is responsible for selecting and training the staff should get a medal.

    The views

    Both doo9r lock and shower needed fixing. Wasted time and stress. Showerhead was fixed but positioned so badly that I had to carry in a chair and move the whole showerhead. It was 01h00 in the morning and I did not want to wait for staff and dress again!

    healthy options
    limited dinner menu

    The food quality was really good, especially the

    Breakfast offerings that included a variety of healthy choices. The staff's attention to detail was amazing, but the dinner menu felt somewhat limited. I enjoyed my stay and appreciated the courteous service.

    I had the most wonderful stay. The staff could not have been more helpful. One night I forgot my handbag in the library at the hotel and the Concierge returned it to my room in less than5 minutes. The Signal restaurant has the most wonderful food and great service.

    The ambience of the hotel made one feel that one was enveloped in the lap of luxury. The staff were attentive without being intrusive and willingly answered any questions with alacrity. The decor in the hotel was quietly understated elegance. Our room was the ultimate experience; breakfast was a highly pleasurable recollection. We came away with a handful of wonderful memories which will stay with us for a long time. We understood why the Cape Grace was voted the best hotel In Africa, it deserves this accolade.

    magnificent views
    limited dining options
    early breakfast hours

    The hotel is fine with magnificent views.

    I found the limited dining options frustrating. The lack of late-night food was disappointing, as we often returned to the hotel late but couldn't find anything to eat. I was disheartened by having to go downstairs for breakfast, which ended too early for those wanting to sleep in.

    I liked the fact tht there was a car avaiable to us within 20 km of the hotel to take us to different locations. You had to book in advance but it was generally available.

    I did not like the location. It was off the beaten track and while it was at the waterfront, you had several blocks to walk to reach any resstaurants. It was not safe at night to walk to the restaurants outside of the hotel.
