Best hotel in Cape Town
Can’t recommend this hotel enough. We had such a lovely stay. The rooms were huge and the balcony was a huge added plus. Everyone working there was so friendly and went out of their way to help us. The location is beyond perfect- it’s super safe and walkable to the V&A and Oranjezicht market. Some reviewers negatively compared it to the neighboring Queen Victoria hotel, but we actually preferred how close the Dockhouse is to the pool area. We’ll definitely stay again on our next trip to Cape Town.

Recommend for a stay at the Waterfront
Everything was great. If you’re looking for a waterfront stay, definitely recommend the place. The pool is shared with the nearby hotels so gets quite busy during the afternoons. Special thanks to Donovan and the rest of the staff who made our stay wonderful!

Amazing Service
Very amazing and friendly staff. They went out of their way to assist with all issues, including challenges with a theft of one of our mobile phones, which they volunteered to assist! Every request was promptly managed from in-room dining to opening wine. Accommodation was also provide for late checkout. The room was also comfortable and clean.

Just WOW.
Incredible views of the V&A Waterfront from this meticulously maintained historic building. Welcome and service during our stay bordered on embarrassingly posh. Fantastic bed made you not want to get out of it despite the excellent location. Possibly the best place we have stayed at in every category.

WOW from start to finish.
From arrival to departure was perfect. Nothing was too much trouble for Jeanette, Cynthia and the whole team. They made us feel very welcome and the service was natural and not forced in any way. The location couldn’t be any better as it’s a very short stroll away from the many restaurants and shops on the V&A waterfront. I would highly recommend the Dock House.

Honeymoon Stay
Fantastic stay at this perfectly located hotel. All the staff were very friendly and could not have been more helpful if they tried. The breakfast options were brilliant. You have a choice of 3 different hotels to eat in so you can vary your options should you fancy a change. The hotel was very clean and the rooms were very comfortable. The location on the waterfront was perfect. Would definelty stay here again.

Unique ist surely the position and the fact that it is a very small hotel which means cosy. What I did not like is the fact that they put the 50ZAR donation per day already on the final bill without telling in advance, although I understand that it was my decisione if I liked to pay it or not. I also thought that there was almost to much staff around the breakfast table at times.
