    Amazing staff! So much attention to detail. Great amenities, including the gym. Breakfast with a lot of options and with attentive staff. Ive only seen this level of service in the best hotels in Dubai. Incredible I must say. The attention to the client is flawless! I had no specific episode where I was surprised, its just how everyone from reception to the concierge and the staff at breakfast. Everyone knows who you are, what you need and provides exactly that. Brutal!

    The only issue that was an irritation was housekeeping. Seems we missed the advice about getting our room made up. On 2 occasions we found our room not made up at 15:00. As soon as reception was notified it was attended to.

    Everything was good. Friendly staff! Awesome service . I particularly enjoyed The masala chai tea😋

    Nothing at all

    The ambience, facilities and location were absolutely exceptional. What made the stay most memorable however was the entire breakfast team’s above and beyond service, as well as all other departments. The standout however was Taariq and his entire concierge team who made the stay feel like we were welcomed home. I recommend this hotel to all thinking about staying - one would be lucky to be looked after by Taariq and his team.

    Would have much preferred our Mountain view room to actually have a full mountain view - not partial from the balcony leaning over the railing! However very spacious room.

    Fabulous staff and room/hotel facilities.

    Slight sewage smell coming off from the bathroom. Didn't bother me that much, and I didn't complain because I just couldn't be bothered.

    This hotel truly exceeded my expectations! From the moment I arrived, the concierge and catering team remembered me by name, which instantly made me feel valued and at ease—a first for me and incredibly impressive. The breakfast selection was delightful, and the location couldn’t be more convenient for exploring the city and tours. Every team member I interacted with, from the front desk to the kitchen, provided exceptional service. My room was spacious, comfortable, and offered a breathtaking view of Table Mountain. I couldn’t have asked for a more memorable and enjoyable stay!

    My hotel of choice in Cape Town. Amazing staff and outstanding guest experience! The Taj truly values its guests, and you can feel it in the culture of the hotel and the way every staff member reflects that. From the warm welcome to the thoughtful service, everything was exceptional. Special shout-out to Rita at the Front Desk and Jacobs at the door — both went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. Well done to the whole team! The hotel is also located very close to the top spots: Cathedral, Slave Lodge, Bo Kaap. Great restaurants in the hotel (Bombay Brasserie is top notch), but also around it so you'll never run out of options. There is a coffeeshop just outside where tour guides offer free historic walk 4x a day.
