Overview

The Commodore Hotel in Cape Town is known for its stylish elegance and warm hospitality. This well-established hotel is ideally located in the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, offering sweeping views of Table Mountain, Cape Town Harbour, and Robben Island. You'll be within walking distance of the water and downtown attractions, making it a prime location from which to explore all that Cape Town has to offer.

Upon entering your room at The Commodore Hotel, you'll be greeted by plenty of space, natural light, and exceptional quality linen and toweling. Choose from a variety of rooms and suites, all thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. The Standard Twin or Queen Room features modernized bathrooms, some with showers-over-bath, while the King Suite offers a separate bedroom and lounge, an en-suite bathroom with a shower with a view, and a wrap-around veranda offering 180-degree views of some of Cape Town's most iconic landmarks. For families, the Family Twin or Queen Room provides ample space for extra luggage and a comfortable sleeper couch for young children.

The Commodore Hotel is more than just a place to sleep—it's a place to relax, dine, and experience the best of Cape Town. Enjoy a meal at the nautical-themed Clipper restaurant, which also serves a daily breakfast buffet. The courtyard area, complete with a calming koi pond, is the perfect spot for an after-work sundowner or a leisurely business lunch. And when you're ready to unwind, head to the Admiralty Bar for a cocktail or indulge in a treatment at the hotel's spa.

Our experience at the Commodore was very good. The breakfast was fabulous and the rooms were very nice. A little
small but very adequate. Our only critique would be the door on the bathroom. It was very heavy and hard to pull open.
When it would close it would bang, which was a little annoying when our neighbors had an early wake up and we heard
their door bang several times in the early morning. The staff was great and very helpful.

Great location...clean and met our needs.
The staff was friendly and accommodating.
It is not the Ritz Carlton or the Four Seasons so as long as your expectations are in line, you won't be disappointed.

Being next to the wharf is probably the best location in Capetown because of the mall and the restaurants and bars near by

The Commodore had amazing views, good food, and friendly staff. The hotel itself is a but rundown and could use a minor facelift but overall it was great. The location was absolutely perfect for wandering around the V&A Waterfront. Read more
