Just right. We stayed here when it was very busy with an annual bicycle ride. The place is well run and is located within walking distance to the waterfront actives at a very reasonable price. The staff is very helpful. I like the way the rooms are laid out and was impressed with how clean our room was. A very good reasonably priced option close to the waterfront.

Fatima is one of the best staff there but all that can better is to get a smart tv in every room

The staff is very friendly, we stayed here with a 11 month old baby and the camping cot they have is a chelino and very nice and big. We had breakfast every day the staff was very friendly and helpful with assisting and going the extra mile when taking my baby with and also accomadating a baby chair. I struggled with my baby to get housekeeping but the housekeeping lady was very sweet and assisted when I need a few things done with I and the baby in the room. This was a very easy and comfortable stay with a baby and the staff is extremely friendly thank you guys so much.

Never have I had such an amazing “ask” to pls put on my mask, this young lady approached us (Tasneem Hendricks) and gently asked us to put on our masks whilst getting breakfast which was a breath of fresh air - we are so use to people nailing you when you forget and even judging you that something like this that might be small in her world, is top end respect and service - we all can take a page out of her book - City lodge hold on to this one and well done !

Cape Town City Lodge is a great place to stay if you need a place to just relax, stay for a business trip. It’s well priced and has all the basics you need.It’s quite close to the Waterfront so it will be convenient to get to any eatery, shop or experiences nearby.Rooms are sanitized after each stay and cleaned daily. Perfect for a COVID friendly visit to Cape Town. All guests are temperature checked and recorded to ensure the safety of all guests.

Home away from homeJust book it! You will have no regretsAs we arrived we were greeted with so much anticipation, they already knew our names... Quite impressiveAfter a quick check in and some general questionsWe entered into our room on the first floorThe room itself was spacious enough for 2 people sharingWith plenty of cupboard space and a safe for valuable itemsNot brightly lit, it gave a warm feelingOpening the curtains lead to a small glass door that opens to a miniature balcony overlooking part of the city Centre and the sparkling canal, quite enthralling to see people using their paddle boards and kayaks and the city tour ferry doing its roundsA kettle and 2 cupsWith coffee, tea, sugar and milk are available (for those of us that take tea time seriously)We did ask if the tap water was safe to drink, to which the answer was yes, but also there was a Hydration Station)(pretty cool ) were we filled up our flasks with either cool, ice, or mineral waterOn the note of water please take cognisance that Capetown has faced water shortage issues so be wise and save water by not using the luxury tubThe shower has enough power to get you refreshed or relaxedThe bathroom has beautiful mirrors, and the usual shampoo, hair caps etc are providedThe Bed provides ultimate comfort especially if youve been on your feet walking around the V&A so just sink in and switch the TV on so you have some background noise while you close your eyesLearn how to scan QR codesThats how you can access the Cafe or restaurant and many other services.. Or you can just pick up the phone and request theseI honestly thank city lodge for taking good care of us as we had a special dietary requirement which they gladly assisted withNoteworthy mentionsIroning facilitiesExcellent hotel food and serviceRoom serviceFree wifiOf and you can get coffee on the go at the foyerIn retrospect we were accommodated with high regard and my only regret is not sleeping in late...

The hotel industry has taken a massive hit, and the competition for customers must be extremely difficult with many specials around. Our stay was as good as can be expected. The position of this hotel is probably its best asset. The rest, is good but not overly special.

If your ever looking to be beyond expectations, than City Lodge Waterfront is the place to be. They just don’t do hospitality, they are the sense of hospitality🙌🏽🥂.I haven’t seen my wife in 11months because of the obvious 2020 pandemic🤦🏽‍♂️. They welcomed my wife and I with open arms💕...and oh, btw the views are amazing.

Would highly recommend staying at the City Lodge Hotel V&A. The staff at the reception is always very friendly and are willing to assist you in whichever way they can. The rooms are clean and neat. Enough space to move around and makes you feel like you are at home. The breakfast buffet is definitely a must if you have the time and are looking for a wide variety of fresh produce to eat and try out for breakfast. I keep coming back to this hotel each time I visit the Waterfront. Keep up the great work.

Its typically City Lodge with everything as it should be. Well located with a 10 minute walk to the V&A Waterfront. Breakfast was a little disappointing as one may not dish what you wish, food and helpings are dished by the chef. Aside from that, a great stay.

Convenient venue. So easy to navigate to from airport. 1 single right turn from the airport!Staff are super friendly and always up for a joke.In house eating is a bit limited, and they dont offer restaurant vouchers if you are on a full bill back account. Only room service available for off site restaurant menus.

Place was really clean which is a definite thumbs-up! However as someone who came all the way from Durban with a swimming costume in my suitcase, I was extremely disappointed to see that the swimming pool was so tiny! Probably a 2 X 2 Square meter pool, definitely not a swimmable pool which makes the pictures on the website very misleading!

Nice handy location. Still about a 15-20min walk to all the waterfront dock restaurants. Spacious rooms a little old. Need to renovate to remain competitive with other hotels and guest houses. Breakfast was nice. Great omelette. Service is terrible. Lady at reception broke my passport off its spine on the cover after we told her to stop trying to shove it into the case. She didn’t apologise or offer any glue. It was very rude. At the bar I stood there for 7minutes waiting to be served for a drink and there were three people and only one working serving until the other lady and man finally started serving us after we we asking to be served.Bag porters are nice and friendly.

Good stay although long passages of rooms and I was placed near the end of one. Didnt like the smell of cigarette hanging around in the passages the further you got away from the main areas and a slight after smell in the rooms. Otherwise breakfast was good with a great variety and the hotel is clean and the staff are friendly.

I checked in earlier today and cant really say the experience was that great. Other than the GM assisting me a day or two ago, and reservations whom I would easily rate 5 out of 5, the rest is mediocre. The views are excellent but the check-in was horrible. I waited there for at least 10 to 20 minutes, body language, the conversations with one another (staff) and just the ignorance of how they carry themselves out in the presence of guests leaves a lot to be desired. I think the City Lodge Group has grown too big now to worry about the little things in life. They will see this reflect in their profits, bottom line and ultimately the share price. This is a competitive industry and one does not get many chances to rectify the wrong or create a positive impression. And the cherry on the top, the key to my room didnt work when I tried to open the door. When I called them to tell them of this, they asked me to come to reception to rectify the problem. I didnt and insisted they come up to my room with a key that works which I asked the lady who checked me to use to try to get in, and she couldnt! Lets pray the rest of experience gets better!

Congratulations to the corporate and local City Lodge team for your obvious attention to the customer. I truly appreciate the little things that youve put in place which can be really big things for a weary traveler like me. ive been around there globe three times, but I will always remember this hotel as among the very best Ive stayed. And that includes some pretty darned nice places in India. Not luxurious - but smart and clean and most of all FRIENDLY! Thank you so much, City Court, Cape Town, for taking care of me, transferring your joy with such a bright attitude!

My favourite budget hotel in Cape Town! The rooms are basic but comfortable, but its the location of the hotel that I love most. Easy to get in and out of town, walking distance to the Waterfront and a great running route thats not too far from Beach Road.Their breakfast is also pretty good with a nice selection of the usual breakfast items.The only major disappointment is the fitness centre. Its very basic and not worth the effort.

What an awesome stay. Its so close to everything so you dont have to travel. Super Clean, quiet rooms and friendly professional staff. Ill be staying here again very soon. Even though its so clean and comfortable, one can easily notice that the hotel interior needs an upgrade. It has very old furniture ,fittings and fixtures. But otherwise Ill still stay here again. Thanks City Lodge !

The stay was comfortable which is what I think is the main aim. Im not sure if its a thing these days where housekeeping seems a made bed and opts not to change the linen (this seems to be an occurrence in my visits to establishments, a made bed does not or should not be assumed that I dont want clean linen). The staff was warm and friendly, breakfast was ok.
