If you’re looking for unfriendly staff, a hotel with charisma like an assembly line or a system with no flexibility you’ve found the perfect place! To be fair the hotel has a good location if you’re planning to spend a lot of time in the Waterfront area, it is quiet and the rooms are clean. But during my stay i... More

While this hotel does have a great location, close to the V&A and bus tours, and it was more reasonable than other hotels in that same area, I would not recommend it. The staff were not friendly at the reception area - admittedly there was a large group ahead of me checking in which may have been taxing to them,... More

I managed to get a great deal (incl. flights) for this hotel. I chose it for the location but I have to say I was worried as most of the hotels at the V&A were a lot more expensive than this one... I shouldn't have worried. It was great! We arranged a pick up with them, which cost 300Rand (only... More

Great location and got a good price by searching around online. More

We stayed in this hotel chosen on price and location. It is right at the Waterfront in Cape Town and so we could easily walk to restaurants, shops etc. It is less expensive than other hotels in the area, an as we were in Cape Town for reasons other than a holiday, this was useful. The hotel is not somewhere... More

Great stay if you find a deal - otherwise the Commodore next door also includes breakfast for their similar regular-day rates. Rooms are quite beautiful and comfortable though on the smaller side. Very helpful front desk/concierge. No breakfast on site (though business school next door has a restaurant) and nothing is open before 8am nearby, so this could be a problem.... More

We stayed here in December, with our two kids. We got a family room, which gave us two separate bedrooms - one with a queen size bed, and the other with 2 single beds - and a shared bathroom. The bathroom was actually split, making it more convenient, into a toilet with wash basin and a shower with wash basin.... More

I stayed at this hotel recently for a business trip. The rooms were wonderful, very comfortable and the service by staff was great. Very helpful about keeping luggage for you so you can tour around even on check in and check out days. Right by the V+A and the Two Oceans aquariam - very easy walking distance. More

The BW Lodge is located right at the V&A waterfront in Cape Town. The building is interesting in it self as it used to be a prison but now belongs to the University of Cape Town which uses part of it as the Graduate School of Business (and the other part as the hotel). There are two restaurants, one if... More
