Taj Cape Town
Everything was great- staff were welcoming and helpful. I like the location- close to the Company Gardens, museums and interesting neighborhoods, all within easy walking distance. One thing we didn’t know at first- if you want plain old brewed coffee, ask for a pot of filtered coffee 🙃

Hotel Verde Cape Town Airport
The buffet breakfast was a true surprise. Equalled those we have enjoyed at luxury resorts. A very wide range of breakfast options with a person cooking to order as well as the buffet. The breakfast was included in our overnight package and definitely worth including.

All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. However check in took about 20 minutes and service in the restaurant was also very slow.
