My wife and I had the most amazing and luxurious stay at the Taj. From the moment we walked in, Rita on reception met us with the most incredible standard of help and support. The room was exactly as we expected and more … the views (wow) and the comfort of the bed and the stunning bath with views - just wow. The bar, and restaurant staff again, we were blessed by all that we met with. I can’t name everyone but would like to make special mentions to Frank and Widaap. An incredible experience and we will definitely be back.

From check in to check out we had a wonderful time ! A grand breakfast buffett and even complimentary dinners but we weren't able to take advantage of that as we made other dinner plans. Our room in the tower was incredible looking right at Table Mountain and they even light it up at night ! Easy to get around with Uber Black ...great location

This is a very fine hotel in the best traditions. The hotel is located in the Central business district in Cape Town. This is very handy if you are visiting the city Centre. It is also conveniently located just across the way from the Co) gardens which are lovely to walk in and also have a nice café. The service in the hotel is excellent. I always try and get a room with a mountain view because that is really great. The breakfast is excellent. There are other dining options in the hotel. You also have all of Cape Town very easily accessible to you. She is one of my favourite hotels to stay at.
