Its unfortunately a shadow of the formal self. Room smelt of tequila, not very clean and bathrooms were from the 90s. Not worth the rate. There were still holes in the roof where plumbing was checked and unfortunately no internet available.

Service is terrible. Plan your visit accordingly if you have no choice but to stay here. They don't even respond after office hours. Even if you pay for wifi they say it's under maintenance. Better stay in economical hotels instead of these service apartment.

On arrival when opening the unit there was a very bad odor from the carpets, as someone with sinuses the smell hit me instantly. There was zero room service, we stayed for 5 nights and only after complaining and begging we got towels changed for us on night 4! The unit was only cleaned once for the entire duration we were there. We didn't have an iron either and reception was unable to help and we went knocking on other peoples units asking for an iron as we were pretty desperate, on a daily basis we knocked on other peoples units to borrow their irons. That was very insulting to say the least. Personally I would never ever go back and it really made our holiday a little damp, we only found joy when we left the building.

Dear Tebatso. We are extremely sorry to hear about the experience you had – as this vicinity is a mixture of residents, Airbnb and other short term outlets, this listing often gets mistaken with all the units in the building and hope your host will resolve. Kindest Regards

I would avoid this hotel at all costs, poor customer service. I had to cancel due to covid as I could not travel out of my country and despite having a fully refundable booking, several months later I am still awaiting a refund. The hotel do not even have the courtesy to respond to emails.

Amazing trip clean, comfortable, safe and very affordable accommodations that one would expect in any major city. Internet. modern, friendly staff and in the center of it all. Was able to travel easily to the wine country to see 7 Sisters Winery, the Cape and even the Pink Zone of Cape Town. Safe, reasonable a must stay when visiting Cape Town.

I cannot speak highly enough about the Mandela Rhodes Place Hotel, which is the reason I stay there over the past 6 years since I found it. It is so comfortable and the staff are so nice, and all of them give very good service and are extremely helpful

Average stay. Breakfast options were great but quality of room and service was only ok. Fittings (toilette, shower, basins) were loose, roof had water damage stains, and phone system did not work. Lots of space though and location is good.

We went to Cape Town in South Africa and stayed at this great hotel called Mandela Rhodes in the town centre. It was the first holiday that we have ever tried booking a two bed apartment. The flat was within this hotel and had a large sitting room/lounge kitchen, fridge, freezer, washing machine and dryer. The flat was cleaned daily, new linen supplied. We paid for breakfast and went to one of the three restaurants at the base of the hotel. Motherland was a coffee house, fresh coffee, choice of fresh pastries and anything you wanted, the staff great always greeted with a smile. We visited South Point, went on Safari, walked on Table Mountain, hopped on and off the blue and red buses and visited a the vineyards. To top it off at the end of the day there was a outdoor swimming pool on the roof. The receptionist were so helpful and kind, particularly Wendy. We give it 10 out of 10 please don’t miss going, wonderful weather, England v South Africa cricket and such cheap meals in Resturant’s all fresh food. Left beautiful weather 29 degrees and came back home to rain and 2 degrees. The memories will stay with us a long time.…

Another great weekend away together in our local City at the wonderful Mandela Rhodes. It is convenient, clean and luxurious - to look out at that view of Table Mountain every morning, what a treat! Safe to walk out to all the many bars and restaurants in the area, as well as to explore the city on foot.

My son and I stayed a week in a superior apartment overlooking Table Mountain. The apartment was absolutely fantastic: fully equipped kitchen with modern over, stovetop, microwave and as a bonus, a washing machine. A spacious living room with a dining table and couch as well as a desk. We had a separate bedroom with a double bed, nightstands and a spacious cupboard. The bathroom was spacious as well and everything was spotlessly clean. If I have to find something to complain about, I found the bed not up to the same standard as everything else, as I could feel the springs of the mattress and did not have full comfort on the bed. This might be a matter of taste though. The pool in the property is one of the best hotel pools I've seen. It's about 1.5 metres deep and 20 metres long, so you can actually have a proper swim and not just a splash. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Stober Tours has an office right next to the reception. You can get airport transfers and a variety of tours in the city and the surrounding area from them. Their service was immaculate, highly recommended. The location of the property is very good. The only better location would be the V&A Waterfront, which is one of the best going out and shopping areas I've seen anywhere in the world. But it's a 10 min taxi drive away (prefer Uber btw, taxis try to rip tourists off and Uber works very well) from the hotel. The downtown area is safe to walk around in. The only nuisance are the beggars that are sometimes annoyingly persistent but we never felt any danger coming from them. Keep your normal street-smart wits about you and you'll be fine. Cape Town is a fantastic holiday destination and staying at Mandela Rhodes is surely going to make you enjoy your stay in full!…
