Our new favourite hotel in Cape Town

We have stayed at the V and A waterfront before and the Commodore combines great location, great value for money, nice spacious rooms (junior suite), good food and in depth quality of staff. The hotel is a safe, level 5 minute walk from the V and A waterfront. They not only managed to get us checked in before the official time, but front desk, bell staff, cleaning staff particularly were well above average. When we checked in the staff were a little apologetic that some guests find the themed decor dated and old fashioned. This is nonsense. If it is clean, well maintained and tasteful it is not a negative it is a positive. The Commodore hotel has character! We will be back next year.

Easy walking distance to the bustling V&A waterfront. Clean. Friendly staff. Had trouble with room phone throughout the stay though, so sometimes difficult to communicate with the reception or the concierge.

The lobby and main floor was beautiful. The room we had was bad. The backboard were chipped and not maintained. There were stains on the carpet. The shower mat was molded. We had to ask to restock bath tissue and facial tissue.
