Victoria & Alfred Hotel

Just come back from spending 5 nights at the V&A as our base for our stay in Cape Town , whilst visiting multiple areas ie Frranschoek etc. Lovely hotel , great views. Breakfast which was everything you could wish for with views of the Marina / Table Mountain. It’s a great location in the heart of everything- Temple Bar to your right with multiple food options. There is a pool that you can use across the road from the Hotel which isn’t ideal but that didnt detract from our stay. We are visiting Cape Town in 2027 and will stay again at the V&A

We stayed here for 4 nights on our first trip to Cape Town & South Africa. We loved the location, with so many dining options and always something going on. You’re definitely in the heart of it with so many different options for activities. We had a Mountain View room which was fantastic. To wake up|To that view every morning will be a great memory. The staff are super helpful and breakfast was very good, with a wide selection of Buffett and Hot options.

The hotel enjoys a prime harbour front position overlooking the water and Table Mountain. The rooms are a reasonable size but the loft room we had was quite dark. Service at breakfast is extremely slow and most of our orders were not right. Its a shame because all of the other restaurants we ate at on the waterfront gave excellent food and service.

For many years I have been looking forward for a chance to experience this seemingly grand hotel in Cape Town. I finally had one night in town after a Sourth African trip with my wide and grandson, and much to my dismay the experience wasn't what I expected. At check-in they insisted that I hadn't requested a bed for a third person at booking and wanted me and my wife to sleep in the same bed as our 10-yr old grandson. After much irritation they agred to provide a bed - if I paid extra! In the end, they did provide a bed free of charge, but I lost precious time and peace of mind over it.|The room is comfortable and well-furnished, great bed and shower, but for the price they charge it is isn't what one would expect. I stayed in CPT in an AirBnB apartment five minutes from it which was much, much better.|The bright side is that the car valet folks and room maids were extremly nice and sympathetic. |Bottomline, I wouldn't come back here, much to my dismay.

Unfortunate review, as I loved Cape Town. We got stolen cash from our backpacks during our honey moon. This is an Ok hotel as it has good location and restaurant, access to stores and walkable waterfront venue. We got stolen cash from our bags, I left some cash in my backpack (thankfully the rest was in the safe together with other valuables, although thinking now I wouldn’t know if the safe box helps anyway) they probably took their time as there were 3-4 locked zippers to go through. It is a pity that these type of situations are on many of the reviews and still happening. I am just writing this review for awareness of what happened to us during our stay, hoping can help future travelers.

5 days at the V&A were the end of a month long Southern Africa trip. This is a nice hotel with a good location and breakfasts but I was disappointed in the very small windowless room we were given. The rate was considerable for a small room where I had to watch my head when walking around the bed. Also, the workout room is across the street in another hotel. Construction around the hotel made it difficult to get an UBER in our out. I think one can do better for the price.

We stayed at the V&A Hotel in Cape Town for 3 nights in September. The hotel is very nice!. Fantastic location with a great view of Table Mountain and the harbour. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, the service was excellent, the food very good and the rooms large and very comfortable. Would recommend a stay in this lovely hotel which is right in the centre of the waterfront area.

We loved every minute of our time at the Victoria & Alfred hotel! It's the perfect location to enjoy Cape Town, especially after safari! Our room faced Table Mountain so we woke up to that beautiful sight every morning! The room was spacious, quiet, and comfortable. The hotel driver picked us up and dropped us off at the airport--much easier than renting a car, or hailing a cab/uber. |What we loved most about our stay at V&A was the staff. Every single person we interacted with was friendly, genuine, helpful, kind, authentic, and professional. Luci the concierge helped us with dinner and spa reservations. She suggested some other great ideas for exploring the region. She took the time to get to know us, so her suggestions were spot on. Byron arranged the perfect outing to the Constantia Wine area--including a beautiful lunch at an incredible winery. Marie the barista was delightful--she got to know our orders (including a tasty GF vanilla cake!). She created beautiful lattes and teas for us a couple times a day! Lorenzo our breakfast waiter was attentive and friendly--a real pro. He also got to know our preferences and had our coffee and earl grey tea ready for us! The breakfast at Jinga is exquisite. So much variety....everything super fresh. We absolutely recommend checking it out. Lulame (the Jinga hostess in the evening) is a gem. Her bright smile and genuine hospitality is a memory we carried home with us. If we find ourselves back in Cape Town, we will definitely stay at the V&A again.
