5-Sterne-Hotels in Western Cape, Südafrika

Disappointing — Not the Taj Experience I Expected I stayed one night at Taj Cape Town and, having stayed, worked, and studied at other Taj properties worldwide, I left feeling that this hotel does not deliver the signature “Taj” experience. Location: Excellent — centrally located and convenient for business and sightseeing. Rooms: Very good. The guest room was well-appointed, comfortable, and met the standard I expect from a five-star property. No complaints on accommodations. Food & Beverage: Below expectations for a Taj. The breakfast buffet was serviceable but average — acceptable for a quick meal, but nothing memorable in terms of variety, presentation, or quality. The on-site Asian restaurant is extremely small (about five tables) and suffers from poor ventilation: the exhaust does not appear to function adequately, so the space quickly fills with an oily cooking smell that lingers and detracts from the dining experience. The food itself was below the quality I would expect from a Taj-branded restaurant. Service & Brand Feel: This is where the hotel most noticeably misses the mark. While staff were professional, the overall atmosphere lacked the warm, polished service and attention to detail that distinguishes other Taj properties I have experienced. It felt more like a standard city hotel operating under the Taj name rather than a hotel delivering the full Taj brand promise. Value: Concerning. The hotel charges approximately INR 2,000 per day for parking — a steep add-on that should be clearly communicated up front and factored into the overall value proposition. Summary: The location and rooms are strong points, but the average breakfast, a small and poorly ventilated Asian restaurant, and an overall absence of the characteristic Taj hospitality leave this property short of expectations. If you are seeking the classic Taj experience, this particular hotel may not meet that standard.

Insgesamt war der Aufenthalt gut. Das Personal war freundlich und die Ausstattung gut. Frühstück und Fitnessraum haben uns gefallen, ebenso wie der fantastische Blick auf den Tafelberg und den Lion's Head vom Zimmer und Pool aus. Die Lage ist ebenfalls hervorragend, die meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Region sind fußläufig erreichbar. Allerdings gibt es einige bauliche Mängel. Die Fenster sind alt und schlecht schallisoliert – sie lassen sich sogar komplett öffnen, was für ein Hotel ungewöhnlich ist. Wir konnten den Wind sehr laut pfeifen hören und nachts auch die Musik aus den umliegenden Clubs. Das Badezimmer hat einen gravierenden Konstruktionsfehler: Nach jeder Dusche ist der Boden komplett nass. Trotzdem war das Zimmer sehr gemütlich und komfortabel.

The Westin, Cape Town, is an old hotel, but it continues to maintain its presence, quality, and some high standard in Cape Town. We stayed here for 8 days, during a friend's 60th birthday celebration event in Cape Town. We occupied an executive room and were also given access to the executive club on the 19th floor. The room was very nice, with good linen, bed of high standard. That said, we had to lodge a complaint on the hurried nature of how our room was cleaned on our second day of stay. The bed was not made properly, the carpet floor wasn't clean, and the bathroom was half cleaned. It's not good for a 5-star hotel. After complaining, the housekeeper made amends, and the cleaning standard was raised to the highest standard for the duration of our stay. We also ordered food from room service and half of what we ordered were not brought - they gave us something else, but after waiting for 45 mins for the original order to be brought to us we reluctabtly accepted the wrong order, ate the food and then lodged our complaints later. The breakfast buffet was alright, but there weren't great selections of cold meats in the cold meat section. They really need to improve on this. Lastly, the overall service delivery by some of the staff really need serious improvement. Some of the staff in the restaurant are way too loud when talking to each other, and some of them even give out bad unwelcoming and nonchalant attitude/vibe to their customers. It is like they feel that they're doing us, their clients, a favour by serving us. Not good enough for a hotel of this standard, abd some of those staff need to be retrained. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at The Westin and we will definitely come back there when next we visit Cape Town.

Ein hervorragendes Hotel für einen Kurztrip oder um die Stadt zu erkunden. Wichtigste Vorteile: ideale zentrale Lage. Die Zimmer sind modern und sauber, mit bequemen Betten und Steckdosen nach europäischem Standard. Das Frühstück ist reichhaltig, abwechslungsreich und lecker. Kleinere Nachteile: Die Gegend leert sich, wie die Stadt selbst, nach 18-19 Uhr, daher empfiehlt sich die Anreise mit dem Taxi. Leider war der Pool wegen einer privaten Feier geschlossen, sodass wir ihn nicht nutzen konnten. Das war sehr schade, da wir dieses Hotel ausschließlich wegen des schönen Dachpools und der Aussicht gewählt hatten. Wenn Sie ein komfortables, stilvolles Hotel im Stadtzentrum mit erstklassigem Service suchen, ist das Pullman eine ausgezeichnete Wahl. Für einen Strandurlaub empfehlen wir Hotels in Camps Bay.

Ich hatte einen erstaunlichen Aufenthalt. Ich werde sicher zurückgehen und ich würde es jedem empfehlen. Exzellente Service und erstaunliches Personal.

Sanbona Wildlife Reserve is a league of it's own. Our driver picked us up from Cape Town and it took about 2 and a half hours to reach the gate of Sanbona From the gate to our glamping tents was another 90 mins drive into an expansive dessert - 62,000 hectares We got real lucky and saw Lionesses, Cheetah, Giraffes, Hippos, Rhinos, Baboons, Elephants etc. Our Guide Joe was absolutely fantastic and knowledgeable The glamping tents were so spacious, connecting you right back to nature with outdoor showers, jacuzzi etc Our meals were fantastic, and they can accommodate to most dietary restrictions. We ended up trying both the Springbok, Kudu, Hake, Kingklip - all local delicacies Love how South African wines were included in our full board experience allowing us to sample Bruts, Rosé and even their Pinotage We ended the evening stargazing as usual, this time being able to see both the Southern and Northern Hemispheree

This stay was absolutely magnificent from arrival to departure, upgraded as we arrived at the hotel. The staff, incredible! Always doing more than asked, going out of their way to assist in making plans, arranging transport or just providing extra information. Shout out to Claudia, who was patient and articulate. She stopped her work in order to attend to me at all times. Shout out to Dewald, humorous, witty and exquisitely piquant. Always up for a conversation amd willing to make anything amd everything more convenient for the guests. Rennia and Alice, ebullient and light-hearted, i felt the care and meticulous nature of their work through all they did, and the smiles they provided, thank you! The entire staff, quite warm and accommodating! Clean room, aesthetically modern and quaint. 100% recommended, convenient location for all your needs!

War mehr als wir erwartet hatten, ein perfekter Wochenendausflug in unsere eigene Stadt. Große Zimmer und bester Service.

The hotel breakfast was very good. The view was awe inspiring. The room had great coffee available. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Brown eyed manager was really patient with my grandmother and really professional. Loadshedding was a bit of a problem because in the middle of the night the generator switched of and Gran couldn't make it to the bathroom in the dark. The bathroom ventilation was a bit of a problem and the room air conditioner didn't work. For the price I would say it was reasonable but improvements can be made in terms of small helper lights on the stairs. The swimming pool is heated and looks out onto the stars which was awe inspiring to see. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel.

So good we are staying longer! Apart from the obvious draw of the fantastic golf course onsite the hotel and spa are a real treasure. Breakfast is to a very high standard. Rooms are spacious but the real bonus is the spa and facilities. Unlike other hotels on the garden route with high costs and limited availability the range of treatments on offer is excellent, staff work hard to fit you in and they are very reasonably priced too. Reception staff are very helpful and ensure you are aware of all the local walks and things to do. I’d definitely stay again…. We are already staying longer than originally planned.
