Total luxury

The two of us had a wonderful holiday at The One and Only Capetown. It's in a very good position to get around from. Restaurants are all close if you don't want to eat in the hotel. Good variety of craft shops. Open top buses just around the corner, which have two routes and cover a large area. We used a car from the Hotel to do the Winel route. Amazing attention to detail with the hotel staff. They went out of their way To make the experience special. We would definitely return.

Like a second honeymoon

We were made to feel very special at this hotel. The location is perfect being on the waterfront with shops and restaurants. The open top buses go from here which meant we could see a lot very easily. We used a driver and car from the hotel to do the Stellenbosch tour which was fantastic and very informative. All the staff were friendly and could not do enough for you. Diana one of the managers is very hands on and does her upmost to satisfy everyone. Really superb experience.

Excellent hotel & service

One of the best hotels i have ever stayed at! Staff were wonderful and helpful. I stayed in an Island Suite, which was nicely secluded and ideal for a luxury break. Would definitely go back over and over again! Spa facilities are amazing too.

Séjour de rêve

Un hôtel à recommander : service irréprochable, un service conciergerie à l'écoute du client quelle que soit l'heure, en cas de problème de langue un personnel apte à l'aide et une situation défiant toute concurrence. Les services annexes sont également triés pour le client
