Reviews for The Portswood
My business visit to the Cape at the Portswood Hotel
Excellent service of staff. Hotel feels like family. Excellent place for hosting business meetings or to drive to meetings (within 5 minutes of the highway, or towards city center) and a few minutes walk from the V&A Waterfront. So after a busy day of work you return in the hotel in an oasis of tranquility.

PortsWood Hotel Review
Had an amazing stay, and very friendly staff. I arrived much earlier than my booking and the staff at the reception were very helpful in handling my luggage and organizing for my room to be ready. Simply amazing

Good Hotel in a Convenient Location
My wife and I recently had an excellent stay in this hotel. It is very conveniently located a short walking distance to the V&A Waterfront with all the amenities that offers. We were warmly greeted upon arrival at the hotel and, although we were very early, were given the keys to our room (on the upper floor, as requested) pretty promptly. The room was of a reasonable size and well appointed. Sleep quality was good. We took breakfast at the hotel and it was a pretty sumptuous buffer affair. Eggs were freshly prepared to order and were delicious - the benedict is especially highly recommended. The hotel staff were excellent - friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The only real issue we had related to some refurbishment work to the lobby and pool areas (the pool was out of use). We had not been pre-informed of this. In practice it made little difference as we were able to use the pool at a sister hotel (Commodore) just a few steps away. We enjoyed our stay at the Portswood and would return.

Good location
The location and the breakfast were good. The room lacked plugins and hair dryer. Unfortunately the pool was being renovated as well as part of the lobby.

Wonderful welcome to Cape Town
The portswood was our first stop on Cape Town and the start of our holiday. We could not have been greeted better (they were having some alterations done but it did not effect us) our room was spacious & very comfortable after such a long journey. My husband was celebrating his birthday which they picked up on and made it even more special (personal & very thoughtful staff) the location is very good and we definately would stay in the Portwood again. Thank you to all their team.
