About the Hotel
Boasting a place of pride on Cape Town(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.

Great location
Ideal base for Capetown tourism. Great staff members. Only issue is twin room beds are up against each other,, no separation

Nice stay close to the Water Front
This was a nice hotel conveniently located near the waterfront. Staff was friendly and the rooms were clean and nice. Our room was directly over the pool and bar area. The first night there was a private event that was very loud, but thankfully ended around 10:30/11. The breakfast was nice with someone making eggs to order. Overall it is a nice hotel, I would stay again, but nothing super special about it.

Great location and amazing staff!
We had a lovely time with family and child here. Staff were helpful and friendly. Great location and proximity to VA waterfront with value for money.
