first stayed here in August 2012. whilst I enjoyed the whole stay, I must say though that the temperature in the bar could have been tweaked up a bit. stayed again in April this year and luckily the weather was better, so no complaints about the temperature. the view on the 18th floor facing Table Mountain is awesome.

We attended a marathon conference yesterday at the Tsogo Cape Sun and we got spoilt! Starting with the very warm smiles from everybody in the lobby at 7.30 in the morning, being immediately directed to the conference floor with a beautiful presented and very tasty breakfast spread.

We booked on line and stayed for 2 nights from the 13/04/13. We requested early check-in having flown from London Heathrow on an overnight flight. The staff gave us every consideration and we had our room by 10.30 am. We had a very comfortable room overlooking the sea, but on reflection think we should have chosen a mountain view. No... More

We traveled by bus from George and arrived at the hotel in the early evening feeling a little tired. We were warmly greeted with an offer of a beverage and wonderful tips about where to eat. In fact, one of the hotel staff walked us to the restaurant just to make sure we'd find it because it was dark. All... More

Decent average chain hotel. Rooms are a nice size (as one would expect at the price paid) and are well looked after - very clean. When I checked in I was given a choice of a mountain view or a sea view. Since it was my first time in Cape Town I chose the mountain and was not disappointed! Breakfast... More
