A great location for easy walk to the waterfront keys areas. All staff were delightful and very helpful if we needed any help. Breakfast was a very nice selection and egg station. We had one evening meal in the restaurant which again was very good. Thanks for a great 2 night stay. Room was exactly what we needed and you would expect.

We loved staying at this hotel! It's hard to choose when you have never been to the country or the area, but this location was amazing. We could walk down the safe, backroad through the hotels to the path that led right to the shops and restaurants and bay. We didn't rent a car and just walked each day. We also booked a few tours that picked us up right from the hotel. We loved the shops and all the restaurants close by. We enjoyed the work out room at the neighboring hotel that was included. Also a sauna and steam room. The staff was so friendly and the service in our room was great. We were so happy we picked this hotel. What a great time in Cape Town.

The PortsWood was the perfect location for a visit to Cape Town. From the minute we arrived the staff made us feel special. Upon entering our room, we were delighted with the cleanliness and amenities. The location was just perfect and we were able to see the waterfront area from our room. everything was just steps away. I highly recommend staying at the PortsWood

The room was clean although a little dated. Staff were friendly and very helpful. The biggest disappointment was breakfast, we were served ice cold coffee despite being the first people there, the pastries were stale and the omelette was disappointing too. We decided to have breakfast elsewhere for the remainder of our stay as we didn’t want to start our day off like that.

The shining star of this wonderful hotel is the staff. Everyone from the doorman, the front desk staff, the chefs and the waiters, the room attendants to the maintenance staff were extremely friendly with big smiles and greeted us whenever we crossed their paths. A few staff that stood out were Restaurant Manager Roxane, kitchen staff Danielle and waitresses Faith and Asheda. The location was perfect and only steps from the heartbeat of the V&A Waterfront. The breakfast selection was excellent. The pool area and pool were lovely. Our room was a nice size with a big shower and comfortable beds. We highly recommend this wonderful property and when we return, we most definitely will stay here again.

I booked a room at this hotel for a day because it was close to the mall, but the room smelled damp and moldy. It was also located directly across from the housekeeping storage room where they keep and collect their supplies. There was a lot of noise in the morning, and we could hear all their conversations from inside the room. Breakfast is available, but there isn’t much variety.

We paid over R3000 for a night's stay and was disappointed to find a very average room. The bathroom was a disgrace. Wheelchair friendly, but equipped like a hospital bathroom! I could just as well have stayed in an old age home! (No offence!) The showerhead to be hold in your hand. No bath. A 'medical' chair to use in the shower! (Really??)
The coffee (pod machine) was not a good brand and only 4 milkpods?
The room rate did NOT even include breakfast and the parking was for our own cost. (R120).
In the morning I shared my dissappointment with reception, but received no response.

Great location

The hotel itself is great, finding the entrance to the parking garage (if you don’t know where you are going), is a little tricky, and I truly believe that the parking charge should be included in the room rate, an additional R120.00 a day for parking is an unexpected add-on!
The room was very good, the bathroom was compact but adequate.
Check in was fine, except I had booked three rooms and they weren’t linked to my name, but only to my reservation number so momentary panic when it looked like only one room was booked, and although all three rooms were booked with queen size beds, one of them had 2 x ¾ - presumably this could have been altered, but we checked in fairly late so wanted to freshen up and go for supper, so left this as it was.

At check in the porter took us to 3 different levels before heading back to reception as he was able to find our room. Rooms are very small, old decor and bathrooms need renovation. Not worth the price tag.
Overnight we had to call security as there was a fight in the hallway outside our room, people yelling, slamming doors, we felt extremely unsafe.
Breakfast buffet has small flies all over the bread and baked items.
Despite its excellent location in Cape Town, and easy access to VA Waterfront, won’t be staying here again.

This is a nice hotel, very clean with helpful professional staff.
It was pretty noisy at night with people speaking loudly and banging doors.
The windows need new framing because they are very drafty.
Other than these issues it was a very pleasant stay.

Great location right next to V&A.

We had walked past this hotel on 2 previous visits so we knew it was a great location. Communication prior to visit was excellent (we had a flight delay) all staff were friendly and welcoming. Our room was superb, cheeky partial view of table mountain.

Negatives- outside of windows needed a clean, but that's just poor timing 😁
We also had a bit of noise from room opposite, but that's beyond hotels control
Breakfast was good but sadly overpriced.

Would definitely stay on our next visit.

Best thing about the Portswood, given it is a great hotel anyway, is the proximity to the Waterfront.

Very convenient for the waterfront.
One evening we sat in the bar and no one came to serve us. After 30mins we left for our room.
We had an issue checking out early. The hotel blamed Expedia, and vice versa. Annoying, but it got sorted out within 30mins. And after, the duty manager gave us 2 free tickets to the diamond museum (which was worth a visit - if you can stand the sales pressure!!!)

Not the first and not the last time for us. Always so convenient for visiting the Waterfront. Safe, walkable, and the breakfast food is improving.

Waterfront shopping easily accessible

I was not warned that this stay (unlike a recent stay) did not include parking - so best to check when booking!
Cleaning staff in rooms/passages are VERY noisy when talking to each other.
Good wi fi, glad to have news channels on TV (Sky & CNN). Spacious room and great to have a fridge. Providing water is a nice touch. I was unhappy to see hat no separate container was provided for recycling.

Overall a nice hotel and well located. My only negative take was was the lack of welcoming from the reception. The rest of the staff where fantastic. Amazing how just a lack of a smile or a kind word can make such a difference.

Just ok

The beds were very hard, we were put in a room on the street side in front of the hospital, it was very noisy, from outside and inside. Was a great location.

Excellent value for money hotel in a fantastic location. My friends stayed 2 minutes walk away for 4K Rand more a night! Staff was lovely and friendly. Very comfortable rooms and beds. Nice little touches like free bottled water in the rooms. Only hiccup was room service breakfast got missed, but it was easy to get myself from the dining room. All around a very comfortable stay and would be back!

Great location. Very nice staff. Good restaurant. Surrounded by other hotels and therefore a fair amount of noise from the outside (at least our room) early in the morning.

Our usual stop when visiting Cape Town V&A Waterfront. Walking distance to great shops and restaurants, very convenient parking, safe area. Always very friendly and good value.
Things that didnt work for us and could be improved-
- we had a room next to the aircon unit (or it seemed like) which made it for a noisy stay
- the hallway carpets looked like they could do with a good wash/scrub
- the food in the breakfast bar was a bit uninspiring and of a basic range, the pre-prepared fruit a bit dry but even if you came down for some coffee, nothing else, you would still leave the dining area smelling of food, mostly fried due to the poor kitchen ventilation (?)

Great hotel, loved the nautical theme. Comfy beds and very nice breakfast. I was hoping to get a spa treatment but there are no online nooking options, so if you want to book I suggest you visit the spa.

Lize Nelson' s review

My stay was nice. The only thing was that they didnt tell us that we have to pay for our parking untill after we checked out!
The restaurant' s food was very good. It was just noisy from clients.
My husband notice when we got my car back that there was a large, ugly rust stain on the roof by the passengers side. It was raining hard the 22 April and it must have dripped down from the roof. It was in the paint , i could' nt get it wiped of. and i was worried that i might need to spray the car. Luckily my husband works with cars so he could get it out. But please look at your roof; if the next dsy was sunny and it bakes in the car it will need to be resprayed.
