“Excellent Hotel”

It was our best decision because the hotel is located in the best area, near everything and the service is excellent. Only the bathroom is quite small but it has the essentials.

“Great Value-Great Location”

This hotel is a great value and located within a five minute walk of the waterfront. The only negative is that breakfast is outrageous and the staff gives no information for nearby alternatives. There are several great places for breakfast at the waterfront opening beginning at 7:30AM

“Prison break unneeded.”

Great, polite service and accommodation adjacent to the Aquarium and adjacent to the waterfront. Although elevators are being installed, the delivery of bags to the rooms was handled promptly. Historic aspects of the hotel are interesting and lots of photos of the old prison make for an interesting stay.

“Great value for the money”

Closely located to the waterfront, this hotel is in a great location and has a magnificent view of Table Mountain. The breakfast was good and the staff was very helpful (i.e. calling cabs, checking on closures due to weather, etc.). The only thing I would say is that the shower is a bit temperamental when you first turn it on, but calms down after about 5 minutes or so.

“Great hotel in every possible way!”

Perfect location at the Waterfront! Great value and overall experience. Thanks!

“Good Value Hotel close to V&A Waterfront”

Very conviently located a short walk from the V&A Waterfront. Good value for money.

“Four days at the Breakwater :Lodge”

We spent 4 nights. The rooms are smaller than normal but has been recently refurbished and everything was in excellant condition. The staff went out of their way to help us with dinner reservations and internet issues. Going out the rear entrance you are right at the V & A and Hop-on Hop-off office. Considering other costa in Cpe Town the buffet breakfst is just slightly expensive but was well done with many choices.

“Recommended to me by a local”

Located next to the V & A Waterfront, this charming hotel is a quick walk to all the restaurants, shops, tours that are there while still being peaceful in the evening. Great location, unless you have trouble walking on cobbles or up an incline.

“Great location with affordable price”

The hotel is just a few minutes walk to the V&A waterfront. It's great to be in the area w/o spending a fortune. I stayed for 4 nights there; the room I got was not new but it was very clean. You can request a fridge but it's not guaranteed. I didn't get it until my 3rd day. The staff are friendly and very helpful. 2 restaurants (one buffet and the other a-la-carte) on-site both serve good food with regular price. Parking is extra though not much. Be sure to ask for the rate if you plan to drive.

“Great value and location”

I was worried about staying at a hotel that asked if you want a private bathrom or not. I chose a private bath which gives you an 'en suite'. The two rooms were small but clean. The hotel shares its facilities with the Univ. of Capetowns Graduate School of Business which lends the flavor of dorm room to the decore. The staff was very friendly, the food good, the location was great and the price was way below all of the luxury hotels of the area. I would definitely stay there again.
