Cape Town has plenty to offer when it comes to sightseeing, and The Commodore is perfectly placed for you to enjoy the V&A waterfront, Table Mountain, and Robben Island with ease. Upgrade to an Executive room to make the most of the views from your balcony on the top floor, or even to a King Suite if you want the extra space for your stay. The nautical theme runs throughout the hotel, from your room right through to the bar and restaurant, where you can enjoy fresh seafood and local wines. As you’re in the heart of the harbour, you don’t have to go far to find more restaurants and bars either, where you can while away sunny evenings in the oldest working harbour in South Africa.

Close to V&A Waterside

As I am staying here currently, I can’t get rid of the mildew or cigarette smoke in our room. I’d ask to move rooms but we are traveling with little ones, and last night part of our party had to split up parents and kids because their adjoining rooms weren’t available so I’m kind of stuck. The place looks nice but on closer inspections you’ll notice no power outlets or USB ports near the beds, panels that need painting, and shelves coming out. They did try to fix the issue when they put in a humidifier.
