Boasting a place of pride on Cape Town�(TM)s trendy Victoria & Albert Waterfront, The PortsWood captures the blend of casual and sophisticated spirits that make up South Africa. A cheerful style sets the mood in the guestrooms and suites, while the waterfront location provides an energetic atmosphere. A one-of-a-kind aspect of this Legacy Hotels & Resorts International affiliate is its Quarterdeck Restaurant. Housed in a section of the original Breakwater Prison, which was built in 1860, it blends unique history with the best of Cape Malay cuisine.

This is a lovely friendly hotel which is in an excellent location just minutes walk from the Waterfront area and also close to the Red City Touring bus stop. The thing that makes this hotel stand out is the quality of the food and also the friendliness of the staff

Lovely hotel in great location. We had a room upgrade which was amazing. All staff very friendly. Not always towels around pool but when staff notified this was tended to. Breakfast tables not always reset and the teacoffee waiter was not always easy to find. This however did not deter us from having a great stay.

The room was clwan and the bed comfortable. It was on the small side but fine. Air-conditioning was not great. Breakfast was very good - great omlets and good variety. Pool was nice. Best thing was location though. Steps to V&A Waterfront and good access to Sea View, Bantry Bay and all the beaches. Would not stay for a week but 2-3 days was fine.

Stayed in the Portswood and the location is primo. It has easy access to V&A and also access to the City Sightseeing tour. Highly recommended. They offer facilities and breakfast next door to Commodore. Staff Paige in reception and John in Concierge are both a standout. They are both always happy to help and will go above and beyond. I also remember a few staff in the breakfast room (chef and waitress) who are very attentive. It was like they were 2 steps ahead of me all the time so I didnt have to ask. Just amazing! keep it up.

As already described, leisure for sixth or seventh time. Prime location and reliable hotel. Hope to return again some time.
