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.

Not as good as before
May 31, 2025Chuck LMarietta, Georgia
They have gone to a computer screen to check in, too many questions. At check in no one mentioned that you just cant leave a credit card, but must actually leave a deposit. So, you must pre calculate what you MIGHT spend!
Excellent Location for V&A Waterfront

The rooms are a bit dated but reasonably sized with decent amenities. Its a 5 minute walk to the V&A Waterfront which worked for us as it has plenty of restaurants if you don't want to eat in the hotel. The staff were in the main very good with a few exceptions and when I needed to see a Dentist they went out of their way to accommodate me. This is a good choice if you want to be near to the V&A.
