Never had I experienced such uncaring staff in any hospitality establishment domestic or international. If you are looking for a clean place to sleep in, I guess you could choose this hotel for its location.

The renovated rooms were amazing. Clean, modern and spacious. Incredible views of the city, mountain and waterfront areas. I especially loved the large shower - big enough for two with the pressure setting nozzles.

The room is amazing. Spacious, comfortable, clean and easy on the eyes. However, at breakfast, we were told breakfast is included and we signed for it. Then at checkout we were told we had to pay R190 pp! For that price, we could of eaten out and not at the hotel. Beware of the charges and check your booking before taking their word for it.

Dear Clarissa, We are delighted you enjoyed our amazing new upgraded rooms and hope to see you again soon. I noticed you booked a room only rate through an online platform on this occasion, I would like to encourage you to possibly consider our inclusive bed and breakfast packages when booking directly with us next time.

Newly renovated rooms are superb. Friendly staff. Front desk staff are friendly and eager but completely inefficient. Newly renovated rooms are super. Excellent location. HOTEL IS OPENING ME TO CREDIT CARD FRAUD. In order to pay for room charges the team collected a photocopy of my credit card as well as the VV number. Several front desk and other staff have access to this very sensitive information. Similarly, I was overcharged for two breakfasts. The hotel requested that I emailed my card number and CVV number for the refund. I was astounded at the request but even more so that your employee did not understand the risk.

The hotel was in a great location making it easy to get around. We walked to the V&A almost every day & felt very safe doing so. The staff were extremely friendly & eager to help. We didn’t eat at the hotel as there are so many nearby places to go for a meal with the V&A being so close. The walks along the waterway to the front was very nice & added to the good location. We would most definitely stay here again. We would happily stay here again.

The thing with city lodge is that there are no hidden surprises. You pay for what you get. The rooms are all bog standard and even smell the same in each hotel.the waterfront city lodge is close to the v and a and worth staying at if your budget is less than that of staying inside
