Staying at the Commodore for a week was a fantastic experience. The rooms offered great views of the waterfront, marina, and Table Mountain, and they were very comfortable with good storage and a bathroom. The bed provided a cozy night's sleep, but there was a need for better soundproofing. The service was top-notch, with staff looking after me as a woman traveling alone and being extremely friendly and accommodating. The location was perfect for those wanting to be close to the V&A Waterfront, offering an easy and safe walk to shopping and dining spots. The dining experience was exceptional, with a wide variety of options for breakfast and outstanding made-to-order eggs. The facilities were well-maintained, but there were occasional issues with the temperature control in the dining room. Overall, the Commodore offered a great stay with a few minor room imperfections.

The hotel offers a lovely stay with great views of Table Mountain and delicious food and service, although there were occasional disturbances by people, deliveries, and early morning buses. The service was amazing and very helpful. The location is perfect for exploring the Waterfront area and enjoying easy access to various attractions, but there were concerns about water/shower facilities. The dining experience was exceptional at Willoughby and Co, with a wide array of options to choose from.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The rooms were of very good quality, with a lovely large comfortable bed and all the conveniences expected, but being right opposite the cleaners' cupboard meant constant noisy activity early in the mornings. On the positive side, the hotel's fantastic location at the vibrant Waterfront with its great restaurants created a fabulous atmosphere and vibe.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had a view towards Table Mountain and a tiny balcony, but unfortunately flooded as soon as we turned on the shower. They were a little small but clean and well-appointed, although they definitely need a makeover. The service was a bit of a hit and miss - while Shireen, Elizabeth, and the restaurant Maitre D made all guests feel special, there was a clear issue with one staff member not being truthful. The location was superb, especially if you want to be close to the V & A Waterfront. The dining experience, however, was outstanding with a wide variety of choices. The hotel facilities were good overall, but could benefit from some improvements.
