Though the service at times was slow when requesting coffee pods, the staff were generally attentive and kind. The location felt a bit concerning in terms of safety, but overall, it was a fantastic experience.

I had a wonderful week at the Taj Hotel Cape Town! The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, which really added to my overall experience. My suite was spacious with beautiful mountain views, though the curtains could have done a better job of blocking out sound and light. The only hiccup was the breakfast, which was lacking some items that were typically available. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing stay.
