Some hotels get it right — and the AC Marriott is absolutely one of them. Across the globe, this brand delivers consistent quality with beautiful rooms and thoughtful amenities. But what truly stood out on this stay was the staff in Cape Town — exceptional in every way. Warm, professional, attentive… they elevated an already great experience into something memorable. Highly recommend.

Brilliant hotel overall. The location was a little tricky to find at first, but once there it was nice. The rooms were modern, very clean, and spacious, making the stay comfortable and relaxing. I must say the breakfast was excellent — a great variety of options and very high quality, definitely one of the highlights of the stay. The staff were friendly and professional, and the hotel has a great atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again.

Ok hotel. Location wasn’t the best. Very far from waterfront. It’s a good conference hotel, but I wouldn’t say it´s perfect for a family with 2 kids and 2 adults.
