“The revamp is needed”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

I was disappointed by the room quality at this hotel. I stayed at the Westin a few months ago and the quality was worlds apart, given the room rates being fairly comparable. The hotel is being renovated. The front and lobby facade belies the quality of the rooms which were small and were more of a 3 star motel than... More

“Average hotel, good breakfast, tiny rooms”

Reviewed 3 May 2013

This is an average hotel. The name is confusing cause is not at the waterfront. Breakfast is the best, complete buffet with colds and hots, fruits, veggies, meat, eggs, drinks, pastries...you'll never want to finish. Rooms are clean but small. Staff very helpful. Bar and restaurant reasonable.

“Solid Choice But Wifi Brings It Down”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

The Southern Sun Waterfront is a major tourist and business hotel in Cape Town. There is much to like, but the costly and slow wifi makes it a no-no for business travelers who need to work remotely. This was especially ironic since much of the hotel was filled with people attending a Samsung wireless and mobile products conference. Good points:... More
