    The breakfast service was OK, it was concerning to see flies on the food on the buffet table. I did mention this to the staff and suggest that they get some fly fans, they indicated that this is available, but they did not put these on the tables despite my concern. Breakfast service was also quite slow, I had to get up to fetch milk from the bar after my coffee was brought to the table.

    Location and setting of the hotel is really good, dinner was excellent.

    The pillows in the Manor House were horrible. Not the same problem in main hotel.

    Exceptionally friendly staff, great location and beautiful views. Rooms are spacious and beautiful, Manor House even nicer than hotel. The turndown in the main hotel was special and better than in the Manor House.

    There is not a lot to dislike about this hotel.

    Superbly located for the V&A Waterfront. Very comfortable junior suite which with a very large bathroom. Breakfast had everything you could want with a choice of buffet or hot breakfast. All the staff were very engaging and helpful.

    Our bath was leaking and after mentioning it was not solved. One major bottle neck was the amount of warm water. 3/4 day we had only cold water for showering…

    The rooms are very comfortable and enough space. View is good. Restaurant is very good and bar is a good place for a drink.

    Docked off a point for the price; slightly pricey for Capetown

    Booked a junior suite with mountain view and stayed for 1 night. The location was right smack in the middle of V&A. The suite was absolutely beautiful and the service was 10/10! Breakfast was so yummy with a great view of the mountain.

    We had no dislikes.

    All the staff were so very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate any requests we had. Nothing was too much bother. The Manor House is just lovely and we will certainly be back. We have travelled to many countries but I can say hand on heart that we’ve never had such a wonderful welcome as this.

    The WI-FI was unsecured with no password. Would be nice to add a layer of security.

    The location, service , and room was excellent. Separate sleeping, bath, and sitting areas. The bathroom and walk in shower was very large. My husband was able to use the separate sitting area at night to surf the internet and not disturb my sleep. We felt safe with the security guard presence in the courtyard when we returned from the V&A Waterfront at nights.
