Beautiful hotel, with nice rooms and good location in the city centre. We thought the hotel was good value for money. I love the Taj amenities! Had a massage at the spa by Yanga which was divine and I would definitely recommend it. I have been to much better spa’s in terms of atmosphere and service, however cannot fault the massage. Breakfast was wonderful and we had dinner included in our package at the Mint. Having stayed at other Taj resorts, we were disappointed with the service in the restaurants. This included service with the staff and slowness in the kitchen too. During one dinner at Mint, we had to wait close to an hour before our main meal arrived since placing our food order. There is one server Khanyi, I have to call out. She was exceptional and a real standout with service compared to some of the other staff at Mint. We dined at the Bombay Brasserie one evening and we were disappointed with the service again and food was ok. Overall the food and service did not stand up to the expectations that we had.

Luxury hotel with great location

It is always a pleasure to stay at a Taj Hotel. The service and restaurants at the Taj Cape Town were outstanding. We had a stunning view of Table Mountain and Lions Head from our room, that even had a small balcony. The Centre City location next to the Company Gardens was excellent. Our first day we walked through the lovely gardens and enjoyed the Cape Town Museum of Natural History. We also took guided walking tours from the St George’s pedestrian mall right behind the hotel, one history of Capetown and one on Apartheid, walk to freedom. Bo Cape, with the colorful painted houses was right up the street.
