Coming to South Africa for the first time it comforted me to stay in a familiar name hotel. We utilized the airport shuttle. A trainee accompanied our driver. There was a mix up with the number of people so there was not enough room in the car for all. So the trainee stayed at the airport (to be picked up later) while the driver took us to the hotel. So sacrificial and nice! We enjoyed the hotel decor and the relaxed atmosphere the couches offered in the restaurant. We stayed in a suite which was amazing. The staff was very friendly and willing to help with anything.
The most incredible hotel. This hotel exceeds every expectation on every single platform. It's our home from home and epitomises quiet luxury without being pretentious. Beautiful rooms, service that is off the charts, good vibe and amazing atmosphere make this the only place to stay in Cape Town. The entertainment and activities are a lovely addition. Every single team member from top to bottom goes above and beyond to ensure that guests are happy. The newly added Fountain Restaurant is a lovely addition with a great menu from Chef Luke. The Food and Beverage team are absolutely amazing and work tirelessly to ensure each guest is happy. Rooms are beautiful and the views of either the gardens or the pool area is such a pleasure to wake up too. The most comfortable bed you will ever sleep in! A bonus is Henry the piano player - something I look forward to listening to each day. The hotel has the most incredible spa and gym that includes complimentary sessions as well as an inhouse hair salon all which offer excellent service. Two swimming pools and tennis courts complete the experience. I honestly cannot say enough about how much we love staying here.
Very nice modern and luxurious decor, proactive and welcoming staff. Rooms are quite cosy, would recommended for couples or solo/business travellers.
The bar and restaurant services delicious and decadent food. Location is very central and close to everything, but would receive recommend vehicle access, as there are not many things in walkable distance.
Has a great night life scene, is popular amongst very hip club hoppers and social scene.
Location excellent. Breakfast and service very good. Clean room. We stayed here one night and the only issue was room location. We backed up to the pool area and it was a bit noisy at times. Aside from that a great value with the waterfront as a neighbor.
WWinnie & EricThe hotel has free shuttle to the water Front.
Breakfast coffee need extra charge with very high prices. Don’t order the coffee if necessary!!!!!
The room needs to renew
This establishment cannot be recommended. It is overpriced and, in my experience, demonstrates customer service that is far below acceptable standards, reflecting a clear lack of competent leadership. While the rooms are adequate, they are overpriced for long-term stays, and the location, while decent, is nothing exceptional. The administration's handling of my deposit refund was appallingly poor. Despite numerous attempts to resolve the matter, it took them four months to return the deposit, during which I encountered repeated incompetence, unresponsiveness to emails, and even dishonesty. It was only after countless follow-ups and multiple in-person visits to the hotel that the issue was resolved. If you value professional and reliable customer service, I strongly advise against staying here.

MMaxim KeynoThe hotel has a convenient location in the center of Cape Town. The rooms are comfortable enough for one or a young couple. If you plan to walk around the center - it's quite easy. I got to the Waterfront by walking in 20 minutes along busy streets and did not feel any danger anywhere. Small shops and supermarkets around the hotel allow you to cover all your everyday needs.
The breakfast is quite meager, but literally around the corner on the next street you can find good cafes where you can have a great breakfast for a reasonable price and a supermarket where you can buy ready-made food.
Immediately to the right of the exit from the hotel is the entrance to a beautiful park, from where wonderful views of the mountains open.
The staff is responsive and helps to solve all problems.
The only drawback is the noise from the air conditioning systems coming from the yard at night.
RRobsThe apartment is spacious, clean and luxurious. Lovvvvvve the bathrooms. I had a very relaxing stay at the Residences at Crystal Hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was refreshing and had a wide selection of foods. The location is convenient, close to Canal Walk which we walked to often to buy whatever we needed to make our stay more enjoyable and visiting Hillsong Church opposite the road was an amazing experience.
