Great location just outside main Waterfront area. Classy nautical theme decor however parts of the hotel do show its age. Great value for money and super friendly staff
Had a fabulous stay at the Commodore.
Close to the waterfront. Amazing breakfast and wonderful staff.
Just a shame the air conditioning was so noisy.

Location was great. Staff were super friendly and food at the restaurant was great. It’s a good place to stay if you are visiting the city first time. You can get to most places from here and area is incredibly safe.
A lovely hotel with great staff. Nice big bedroom but air con was very noisy and inefficient. Everything else was very good for a short city break as walking distance to everything
We were very happy with our stay at the Commodore and would recommend it highly. Before our stay, I was concerned about location, but it’s a very easy walk and safe walk to the V&A waterfront. The breakfast was excellent. The actual dining room while we were there was closed for a few days as they did some work on it, but the outdoor dining area was opened as was the bar area so I think they handled that situation very well. We ate dinner there one night and the food was excellent, but the service could have been better. We had a suite on the sixth floor and it was wonderful with a lovely view.
Hotel and rooms were good. Spacious and clean. But very noisy. If it wasn’t the next room being very loud, it was strange mechanical noise coming from the corner of the room. Didn’t sleep well.
This place was perfect in every way. Great room, great location and great food. The pool and gym were a needed bonus.

The hotel is definitely showing signs oif the need for a refurb. Tired flooring in bar and restaurant, ridiculously noisy AC units, doors to balcony need updating as do the bathrooms.
Staff were generally excellent and breakfast selection was good.
I stayed in a 6th floor Deluxe Executive room but overall I felt I was paying for the location rather than any other luxuries.

Beautiful room with a fantastic view of table mountain, very convenient for the V and A. Amazing service very helpful friendly team of people. We will be going back..
Home away from home. I stayed at the Commodore half time of my visit of Cape Town and I loved it! It is a bit pricy than other hotels but it is so worth it! First, great spacious, comfortable and quiet room with a view of the pool. Second, I enjoyed their awesome immaculate sauna and steam room + gym, which provide relaxing comfort. Lastly, their staff is attentive without being overwhelming and chasing you for tips, like in the other hotel I stayed. For example, I needed an extension with a converter to charge my phone and use my electric brush, and the maintenance gentleman (Edwin) came and helped and made sure my room was at the right temperature and I knew the channels to watch movies (so sweet!) thanks Edwin! Finally, the breakfast has so many yummy options that I did not have enough time to try it all. All in all, I would always come back. What a nice, cozy and well located hotel!
The room was very warm and welcoming and the breakfast was very good bathroom was also spacious I really liked my stay there and the staff was fantastic
