We had a great stay, the hotel is very conveniently located, however bad experience upon checking out. We made the booking online (directly with the hotel) and pay the full accommodation. According to their 1st version, the payment was only a deposit. Then they argued that the rates went up because of the high occupancy and they "add" an additional R6000.00 to our bill. My advice to travelers, make 100% how payments are allocated and get prior confirmation (even if it sounds silly) what is included. Get itemized receipts and statements. Read less

From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The concierge service was top tier, providing excellent recommendations and even booking a fantastic meal for us. Their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile truly made our stay special. The views from our room were breathtaking, with Table Mountain as a stunning backdrop. Whether relaxing in our room or exploring the nearby attractions, the convenience and beauty of this location made our experience unforgettable. The breakfast served at the hotel was amazing, featuring a wide range of delicious options to suit every taste. From fresh fruits and pastries to hot dishes and gourmet selections, it was the perfect way to start each day. Highly recommend The Table Bay Hotel for anyone visiting Cape Town. It exceeded our expectations in every way! Read less
