About the Hotel
Boasting a place of pride on Cape Townâ€(TM)s trendy Victoria & Albert Waterfront, The PortsWood captures the blend of casual and sophisticated spirits that make up South Africa. A cheerful style sets the mood in the guestrooms and suites, while the waterfront location provides an energetic atmosphere. A one-of-a-kind aspect of this Legacy Hotels & Resorts International affiliate is its Quarterdeck Restaurant. Housed in a section of the original Breakwater Prison, which was built in 1860, it blends unique history with the best of Cape Malay cuisine.

Wedding Anniiversary trip
The staff look after you so well. Our room was decorated with roses for our special wedding anniversary accompanied by bubbles and chocolate covered strawberries, such a lovely touch. Close to the V&A waterfront - we loved it!

great location and wonderful welcome
Our first trip to Capetown and SA couln't have been better for the welcome and service offered by all of the staff at The Portswood. Perfectly located for the V&A Waterfront. Nothing was too much trouible, and the facilities and quality of everything we encountered was excellent. Thank You All

No hot water and the room is noisy
I had no hot water and the aircon makes a lot of noise. Even if I switch off the unit in my room, the unit in the rooms next to me were noisy.
