The hotel was a bit further out from the main attractions at the V&A Waterfront than we had expected and not walkable at night. The room was rather tired and in need of freshening up although the kitchen and living room area was pristine. The shower door was rickety and seemed like it might snap any moment! Water leaked under the door. I did complain but as far as I know nothing was done about it. There really isn’t anything in the area - would be handy for the conference centre but there are no shops, bars or restaurants nearby. It’s a 5-10min taxi ride to the harbour/aquarium area.
Breakfast was very good. Best scrambled eggs! Staff on reception and in the cafe were friendly and helpful.

Location is terrible and all Ubers could barely find it - it is promoted as close to waterfront and it’s not- can not walk to anything - You have to go back outside of lobby to get an elevator for your room - if it’s raining you’re wet - stains on chairs, crunchy rugs etc- the place is beat -It’s cheap but I felt I had to write my first bad review

The room was very nice and reception staff extremely friendly and helpful. The buildings seem to be a mix of hotel and residential and are quite spaced out. The pool looked quite inviting but there were no facilities such as toilets or changing area at the pool itself. We had a drink and snack at the bar, and enjoyed breakfast in the cafe, both were nice but the outside area here could have benefited from a jet wash. The location of the hotel felt a little remote although we were able to walk, in daylight, to the waterfront (around 25 minutes). For all the above reasons, and because the rate seemed really quite expensive for Capetown, I can only give a four star rating despite the nice room.

Double booked!

They had somehow double booked my room and so I was sent to a sister hotel - onyx
I don’t really think the Onyx is of the same calibre as the harbour bridge. A bit downtrodden and in need of a revamp. Windows dirty/scratched, air con either not working or just awkward to switch on/off, door didn’t lock, so my gripe isn’t really with the harbour bridge but rather with the downgrade I was given owing to a double booking

The room was not clean. There was a horrible smell of some kind of strong perfume that had been used to try to cover up the odor of cigarette smoke, and who knows what else, which pervaded the room. The cigarette smoke would’ve been easier to tolerate than the sickening perfume. Opening the windows to try to mitigate resulted in so much street noise that you could not sleep.

Although the view from our window was unbelievable the room itself although spacious was very tired. The laminate on the cupboards and desk was peeling and the carpet needed replacing.
The location was great - only a 15 min (max) walk to the Waterfront or the hop on hop off bus. However the canal gate closed at 8pm so getting back from the Waterfront and dinner meant catching a cab or Uber.
The WIFI was sketchy at best in the dining area and reception but NON-existent in our room.
The lock on our door was a problem and at least twice we needed staff to use a key to let us in and had at least 6 sets of swipe cards produced over a 7 day stay.
The staff did their best to alleviate our concerns.
The breakfast was good and the staff there were exceedingly attentive which was great.

We felt very safe on the hotel grounds and felt safe getting our room cleaned, oppose to other experiences in other hotels in Cape Town.

I can’t express enough how nice the staff were, especially one of the managers a tall gentleman who always wore a suit.

Thank you for making this portion of our trip phenomenal!

The room was very clean and the hotel well located (15min walk from the V&A). Breakfast was super good and all personnel I met were very kind and professional. The only thing that could be improved is the bathroom. I appreciate that it is accessible with handle bars etc., but the fact that it has no glass, curtain, wall or any division with the rest of the bathroom meant that every shower would flood everything. Other than that, a very nice choice of hotel in Cape Town.

The staff at Harbour Bridge Hotel and Suites were personable and friendly. The room was clean and the hotel was convenient to tourist sites. I was especially impressed by how caring the staff were. The managers personally introduced themselves to me to help ensure that my proposal to my partner went as smoothly and romantically as possible. I unfortunately got sick on my trip, the restaurant staff expressed concern and were thoughtful. They aided in my comfort and helped to ensure a speedy recovery. It seemed as if all the staff members recalled us by name. I have never experienced a hotel that cared so much and made our stay feel at home.

Great location not far from V and A Waterfront. Complimentary parking was an added bonus. Loved this clean, modern facility. Great breakfast. Some better instructions for the laundry machine are in order. No one knew where the tap was for the machine, neither did housekeeping. We all thought the machine was actually broken. We eventually found the tap through trial and error. We also had to google instructions for the machine as we could not get it open at times due to child locks.

Great hotel. Great location.

My wife and I stayed here on a recent trip to sightsee in Cape Town. The room was very nice (we did not have a full suite, just the basic room). We had plenty of space, the bed was comfy, and there is a great view of the canal our room. The service was excellent. The thing we enjoyed the most was the breakfast that was included with our room rate. The food was great everyday and got our day off on the right foot. It is in a great location, walking distance to the V&A waterfront where all the shops and restaurants are. Here is my one word of advice for people staying at this hotel: The quickest and easiest way to walk to the V&A waterfront is to use the canal walkway. However, they close gates to the canal walkway at 7 PM. If you want to walk to the waterfront after 7 PM, the walk is much longer. The saving grace is that an Uber is extremely inexpensive to get down to the V&A waterfront from this property.

Brand New hotel on the canal near V&A

A new hotel built on the canal by the harbour. It has a local water taxi to take you to the V&A waterfront. The suite was awesome and very well planned out with every amenity. It was well worth the extra money. We were facing the harbour and it has a road running along the front which is very busy ask so ask for a canal view.

Nice hotel close to V&A Waterfront

We had booked a basic twin-bed room. Upon arrival, we discovered that the bathing tub and toilet were part of the room as it was an open plan room. Upon request, we were moved to another room with a living room and kitchen facilities. Hotel staff was nice and courteous to explain what was included in the stay and what was not, they helped us book tours etc. I wish that room service and breakfast were offered so we could have used these options. We ended up eating outside through out our stay.
