Fabulous hotel! Staff are warm & welcoming as well as accommodating any requests. Hotel overall is very good. Rooms do show a little tiredness in places however, a renovation is planned for this winter. Hotel facilities are excellent. Well equipped gym & amazing spa. Well worth grabbing a massage there! Pool towels and SPF provided which is a nice touch. Full range offered for breakfast, whatever your thing is! Self service with eggs cooked to order by the chefs. Hotel bar & café offers great selection of meals as well as drinks. Free shuttle to V&A waterfront but you can also easily walk there within 10 minutes. Fabulous stay, can throughly recommend & will stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at the Southern Sun Cullinan. The room was very clean and each day we were provided with a snack or fruit. The dining was top notch and we particularly enjoyed the breakfast buffet each day. The staff was friendly and helpful even during checkout day when the lobby was pretty chaotic. Will stay again if we’re in Cape Town in the future.

Fantastic staff and service
Stopped at this hotel for 10 nights with the family. Facilities were great and all the staff were fabulous. They could not have been more helpful. The bar and restaurant was a good standard and very reasonably priced. The rooms were spotless but a little tired although the hotel is about to undergo a major refurb,

Beautiful hotel. We stayed here prior to and after a cruise. The hotel offers a shuttle service to and from the airport. They also shuttled us to the docks to board the ship. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet (included) and the food service outside by the pool. Delicious food in beautiful surroundings. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Great location to be close to the ocean and the docks. The staff were very polite and accommodating.

Nice hotel not a great location
Stayed for 4 nights at beginning of a 2 week stay. The hotel itself is great. The rooms are spacious, if a little dated. Really nice breakfast around the pool. The Stella bar does fabulous food and drinks at very good prices. The staff are excellent. Lovely pool area. There's iced water and even complementary sun cream. My issue is the location. It's in the financial district so there's nothing around. There's a complentary hourly bus to the waterfront which is very handy. The hop on hop off bus stops very nearby. Although the hotel is less than 1km from the bars and restaurants of Bree Street, when we tried to walk, we were almost mugged by an organised gang less than 100m from the hotel. This was at 11.30 am when we attempted to go out for a post breakfast coffee. If leaving the hotel at all, you need to take an Uber.
