#5 of 6 hotels in V&A Waterfront by Axel's take. V&A Waterfront is #5 of 8 places to stay in Cape Town. The best hotels in V&A Waterfront, ranked · Where to stay in Cape Town

Axel's take: 8.1/10

A strong Waterfront base, with dependable comforts but some dated edges. a traditional 4-star hotel beside the V&A Waterfront, scored for what it is.

The Commodore is a traditional 4-star hotel whose biggest selling point is being a short walk from the V&A Waterfront. We'd pick it for convenient sightseeing rather than contemporary style: the nautical decor feels old-fashioned, but recent Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise comfortable beds, clean rooms, helpful staff and the generous breakfast buffet. It's a strong option for first-time visitors who want restaurants and attractions close by.

The trade-offs are aging room fittings, recurring complaints about noisy air-conditioning and occasional slow service, especially at breakfast. Renovation noise also appears in June and July 2026 reviews; we couldn't confirm whether that work has finished, so check before booking. The outdoor pool and gym are useful extras, but this isn't a beachfront resort. We'd skip it if modern interiors or reliably quiet mornings matter more than location.

  • Best for: first-time Cape Town visitors; sightseeing without a car; couples wanting Waterfront convenience

  • Watch out for: dated fittings and noisy air-conditioning; occasional slow breakfast service; confirm whether renovation work has finished

  • Location: A short walk to Waterfront dining, shopping and the aquarium; not beachfront.

  • Rooms: Comfortable beds and standard rooms of about 25 square meters, but some fittings show their age.

  • Cleanliness: Generally a strength across recent reviews, despite occasional housekeeping lapses.

  • Service: Usually friendly and helpful; breakfast service and problem handling can be uneven.

  • Amenities: Outdoor pool, gym, restaurant, bar and free Wi-Fi; breakfast receives consistent praise.

  • Fees and surprises: Check breakfast inclusion and parking terms; airport transfers cost extra, and recent renovation reports warrant checking.
