A cheerful style sets the mood in the guestrooms and suites, while the waterfront location provides an energetic atmosphere.

The Portswood Hotel
We always stay at this hotel whenever we're travelling for work, and it never disappoints. The rooms are always spotless, comfortable, and well maintained. The breakfast is delicious with a great variety to choose from, and the staff are consistently friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. It's become our go-to hotel, and we always have a fantastic stay. Highly recommended!

Central location for Capetown Wharf and Boardwalk
Fantastic location, with only being a two minute walk to the Wharf and Boardwalk. As I was staying a few days, reception/concierge were really helpful in connecting me with day spas, day trips and seemed to know all the tour guides. Exceptionally clean, wonderful restaurant with attentive staff - a wonderful alternative to some of the bigger chains.

Lovely hotel & staff with excellent location for V&A & city
We enjoyed our stay. The location was great to get to V&A - there were sets of stairs to shortcut to the waterfront. The staff were very friendly & helpful. The breakfasts were lovely. The room was a good size. Beds comfortable. All good

After cruise stay
We stayed for a night before heading off to a safari. Really great for those getting off a cruise ship as close to the V&A and cruise terminal that passengers are familiar with. Friendly helpful staff and rooms with international plugs, usb outlets and consumables eg shampoo, tea, coffee etc
