"Excellent waterfront hotel, V & A"
Although we had a loft room it was very comfortable, spacious and well appointed." See all these reviews: 9n in Malawi; 4n in South Africa
"Great location,service and food!"
The food at the hotel was excellent. The breakfast buffet had a wide range of delicious cold foods and a substantial cooked breakfast was also on offer. We had dinner there on our last evening overlooking the harbour and the food was imaginative and beautifully cooked.
The staff were endlessly helpful and enthusiastic in their suggestions of things to do. The waterfront is an excellent location to stay as it feels completely secure and is a very lively place. We visited a couple of other hotels during our time in Capetown, including Mount Nelson but we can't think of a nicer place to stay than the V &A ."

"Victoria & Alfred Hotel review"
The staff was very accommodating as the room was not ready when we arrived and they treated us to a snack in their restaurant. When we were ready to leave, the kitchen was not open for breakfast and the staff arranged to have breakfast delivered to our room." See all these reviews: 10n in Zambia; 4n in South Africa
"Victoria & Alfred Hotel review"
The Victoria and Alfred hotel was located in the centre of the waterfront a short walk away from the shops and restaurants. Our room had a great view of table mountain which was a nice suprise." See all these reviews: 9n in South Africa
"Stunning view from Victoria & Alfred Hotel"
Reception staff friendly and helpful.
Room for improvement in the service at breakfast time, certainly got the 'B' team on our last day, had to wait a long time for basics like knives and forks.
Very sensible idea of being able to hire laptop for short periods." See all these reviews: 10n in South Africa
