The Table Bay Hotel

My wife and I recently spent several very enjoyable days at the Table Bay Hotel--our second stay at this large but very welcoming hotel. The hotel's location is exceptional, right along the V&A Waterfront and next to a large indoor shopping mall. There are several fine restaurants within the mall and at the Waterfront, all within a short walk from the hotel, and the hotel also offers several dining choices. In fact, the breakfast buffet is very extensive, and quality does not suffer at the expense of quantity. The food choices are abundant, and everything is well-prepared and tasty. (The one slight disappointment compared to our first visit was that the once very extensive high tea has been replaced with a more limited and not as memorable Cape Malay High Tea.) The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, and many offer stunning views of Table Mountain. The staff, be it front desk, dining, bell staff or housekeeping, are excellent. If you are headed to Cape Town, the Table Bay Hotel will make a fine "base of operations." And if you are there on a weekend morning, take a short walk over to the Oranjezicht Farmers' Market for a delightful culinary and cultural experience.

Great location and amenities but there was no TV remote in the room and the long line to wait for a table at breakfast meant I didn’t have breakfast. Staff were very friendly though.stayed here a few times over the years but now I’m not sure I would come back particularly at this price.

overall service was subpar for a 5 star hotel. there was an exceptionally rude receptionist who gave us horrible attitude (was rude when our room card stopped working). we tried to explain to her that both cards stopped working even though they were with different people so both weren't next to a device that could've deactivated it. she continued to give us an attitude.
