In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Prime Milnerton location — Guests highlight the convenience, with Canal Walk mall just a 5-minute walk and the V&A Waterfront close by. Central access makes exploring Cape Town easy.
  • Spacious, well-equipped rooms — Suites and penthouses offer generous space, with kitchenettes and amenities like air conditioning and bathtubs. Family suites and extra beds accommodate groups.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Not in the city centre — The hotel is about a 10-minute drive from Cape Town's centre, which some guests noted as a downside despite the strategic location.
  • Comfort scores lower than other categories — Comfort rated 7.6, lower than rooms and service, suggesting some guests found beds or climate control less than perfect.
  • Paid shuttle only — Airport or city transfers come at an extra cost; the shuttle is listed as paid, so factor that into your budget.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this hotel isn't an option.

“The Executive Suite was roomy and the view was stunning—I kept looking out the window. The restaurant's food was also excellent, which made the stay even better.”

8.1Verified guest

“The room was cool and comfortable with great beds. The location was good, about 4 km from Milnerton Lagoon, and the area was nice, with Stellenbosch within reach.”

8.1Verified guest

“A luxurious feel, nicely furnished rooms, and professional staff. Breakfast was amazing with high-quality food. They allowed early check-in, and the location was perfect—close to shops, theatres, the waterfront, and major sights.”

8.1Verified guest

“The location in Milnerton was unbeatable, very close to Woolies and the V&A Waterfront. There was a wide choice of options and outstanding food. Early check-in and late check-out were a plus.”

8.1Verified guest

“The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The duty manager swiftly resolved a check-in mix-up after the first night and moved us to a better room in the non-smoking section. His action was prompt and professional. The hotel's massage service was excellent, conveniently located near our room, and on par with dedicated massage centres. For service and value, I rate it 10/10. It's a 5-minute walk to Canal Walk mall, making shopping easy. Highly recommended.”

8.1Verified guest

“A stylish, modern hotel. It's a bit outside the city centre—about a 10-minute drive—but definitely worth it.”
