THE TABLE BAY

May 2022 - Four night stay. Location was the prime motivation for selecting the Table Bay Hotel. We were in Cape Town as first-time visitors and wanted a walkable location and the convenience of a huge shopping mall located next door (actually connected with an interior walkway). Our room selection was a Superior Luxury King and we had a beautiful corner room overlooking Quay #6 (where the seals hang out) and a spectacular view of Table Mountain. The hotel decor is‘understated’ luxury - nicely furnished room and public areas without pretentiousness. The reception staff was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the daily breakfast buffet, especially the expresso beverages and cook to order omelette, and unlike many other reviews , we only had one weekend morning where our wait for a table was maybe five minutes. Understandably as the buffet is very popular with locals as well as guests. We did note that lines occurred as guests waited until nearly closing time to queue up. No problem for us. Very comfortable stay and appeared to be a very safe area. We walked the waterfront every evening, the Nelson Mandela Gateway was only a 5-10 minute walk, and the attached mall had many dining and shopping options, including a full service supermarket. Uber and taxis had no problems finding the property with Table Mountain Cable Car a 15 minute drive and the airport less than 25 minutes drive. Housekeeping service was very attentive and offered turndown service every evening. All staff encountered were friendly and efficient. Nice stay for us - YMMV. Enjoy the V&A Waterfront!…

Excellent stay

We had a wonderful stay! Breakfast was amazing each morning. We had a family room with a view of the harbor. The hotel is connected to a shopping mall with lots of premier shopping. The hotel is in walking distance to lots of restaurants and attractions. Hotel staff was very friendly and our room was serviced appropriately everyday. The only downside is that the cost of the spa was almost as much as our 5-day stay in the hotel!

Can't fault it.

The check in experience was flawless and the rooms beautiful. The communal areas are stylish and the waiting staff very attentive to your needs. Breakfast was a feast and the concierge staff very helpful. What stood out was the friendliness and willingness to help shown by all the staff.

A room with a beautiful view but hard to get any breakfast if you are not motivated enough to wait long

The Lux room is wonderful and the view amazing. The staff is very kind and caring up to a point. I really enjoyed my stay here and would come again if few things are solved in the meantime. The breakfast is not well organised, and the queue is very long. Yesterday my husband waited half an hour, then decided to go shopping in the meanwhile, came back, and the queue was still as long as before! He queued all together for 50 minutes to be placed. There are lots of tables free, just not anyone letting you in very soon. I had similar experience this morning and another quest complained to me about the same thing, so I guess it’s a standard here. If you decide to extend your stay for a day and have asked to keep the same room for that separate extra booking, be prepared to receive an angry call from a member of the staff asking you to leave after 12 pm when your original stay ends. Otherwise, a lovely hotel with the best view in town!…

Bang average hotel in Cape Town with pool not in use

At Breakfast. You had to ask for everything. Only one day was coffee offered when sat down. Super pleasant staff. Just not too attentive. sadly, you couldn’t even go in the pool. It was filthy dirty. Full of yellow stuff at the bottom of the pool

Room Tip: Nothing really “helpful”. Just a shame that it was not up to standard
