Cape Town hotels near Greenmarket Square

Pros: Wonderful gardens and pool area.

Pros: Location and grounds are spectacular, as is the breakfast buffet.

Cons: Late night noise issues from bar and terrace area kept us awake and even awakened us from a sound sleep one evening. Required repeated calls to front desk to resolve. Bathroom lights also miswired and require turning on room lights which is problematic when companion is sleeping. Overall, it's a very nice hotel with very major flaws.

Pros: Lobby entrance and Bar. Gardens are lovely and one can stroll into town by way of the University park right across the hotel entrance.

Cons: There was mold on the ceiling of the marble shower due to poor ventilation. While they moved us into another room, one of the attendants commented, "hundreds of our rooms look like that." Not a good state for a 5 star resort.

Pros: We enjoyed everything. Byron was extremely helpful and gave us spectacular service. High tea was lovely and the staff friendly as well as efficient and courteous. The grounds and building are simply beautiful

Pros: Central location, comfort and beautiful colonial interiors

Pros: location, location, location.....Excellent Staff!....Great Value!!

Pros: Location and spacious room.

Cons: the hotel need renovation. The staff does not respect the guest. They made me wait at reception to go verify if I stole in the room.

Pros: The hotel was fabulous. The location and facilities were outstanding. The breakfast was wonderful. Most of all the staff was phenomenal. They were consistently courteous, friendly, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our stay absolutely phenomenal.

Pros: The service, the food, the gym and the pool were all very nice. The rooms were comfortable with great views.

Pros: Location

Cons: Bed was hard

Pros: Great hotel, Great rooms, Exceptional breakfast

Cons: We had a "bad" luck, since our room shared a wall with a famous Jazz club Green Dolphin. We enjoyed the fine music from 8-11 in the night. (there are maybe 3 rooms in the whole hotel affected). One night we also went there. Nice club.

Pros: Good location

Cons: rather expensive for the type of room and hotel

Pros: lovely room & service

Cons: no real water view at Dock House-dining room small with no view. However, breakfast at main hotel wonderful - view, service & cuisine. Sorry we took the upgrade. rather stayed at V & A with waterfront view.

Pros: On the whole very good with one or two small reservations

Cons: Hefty charge for late check out even though the room was not to be immediately occupied

Pros: only the location

Cons: too expensive for such one

Pros: Breakfast buffet and view

Pros: The location of this hotel is incredible, right in the centre of the bustling Cape Town waterfront....you walk out of the front door and you are where you need to be. Very upmarket and classy!

Pros: I liked everything absolutely amazing 2015

Cons: all was great

Pros: Ambience, accessibility to the essential needs such as shopping, restaurants,

Cons: None

Pros: Great service good breakfast

Cons: Very minor but felt being charged £7.20 for 4 small waters at breakfast was not correct

Pros: excellent staff and rooms very good

Cons: spa not really finished when we arrived. Pool small and not always useable due to wind. Did not get mountain view from all rooms as promised

Pros: The location is a right between downtown and the V&A Waterfront. Everything is walkable plus you have great cab service as well as the hop-on hop-off bus right out in front of the hotel. Since this hotel is adjacent to the convention center, getting to anything you want for business or please is easy to do. The breakfast spread in the mornings was excellent and the rooms were nicely appointed wth hotel being very clean.

Cons: Since the hotel is at the convention center, if there is a large convention in town (that you are not a part of) you may get overwhelmed by conventioneers. There was a large ANC convention in town while we were there. The hotel was able to handle the added quests, so it reallly wasn't a problem but could be an issue for some. Check the Cenvention Center schedule prior to booking. The only other issue I had was the customer service in general. I really thnk this issue is more cultural to South Africa than it is an issue at the Westin. I just didn't feel like the conceirge's were as helpful as they should be getting tickets for me or helping me find a good restaurant. I sat in the bar area of one of the hotels restaurants (1 meter from a restaurant table - didn't realize it) and we asked to order a desert and was told we needed to get up an move 1 meter to the next table. This kind of rigidity does not exist in the USA..,.the customer is always right and we would have been served. That night we decided to get up and move back to our room. At breakfast, there was mixup with the number of people in our room booking (they claimed the reservatin was for one and we had two in the room). Breakfast was supposed to be complimentary but they made us pay for one breakfast each morning (200 Rand)....an inconvenience. I think this would have been handled differently in the US. Overall, I would recommend the hotel for its location and nice amenities, just don't expect 5 star American style service anywhere in South Africa. (Although I will say the overall service level in South Africa is much higher than anywhere I have been in Europe....espeicallly restaurants)

Pros: Comfortable, clean and modern; we stayed in a suite which comes with a great breakfast and cocktail hour

I REALLY LIKED THIS HOTEL !!

Cons: Minor complaint: The "lap pool" usually did not serve for swimming laps as it was the only pool at the hotel, it was only one lap wide, and was used by guests for simply lounging in the water. However, the gym was well equipped, so I was still able to get good exercise.

Cons: All three times my car parking was a problem...... First they misplace my key and had to wait 20minutes to find it..... then they brought my car out to early standing in the sun for 30minutes after I arrange when I wanted the car. We I wanted to leave after check out, my car was parked in and they could find the owner......so this experience that was suppose to be something nice..... was very frustrated.

Pros: The rooms are clean, and well supplied with knickknacks if you'd like to spend that kind of money on drinks and snacks.

Cons: I was disappointed that I was given a room with a single queen size bed. I'd ask for a double bed, which I thought would mean two separate beds. When I checked in with my daughter, I was disappointed that the front desk told me I should've asked for twin beds. There was no option on their website for twin beds. There was an option for two adults which I interpreted as double beds, since that was an option.

Pros: Friendly staff and comfortable rooms with all the ammenities.Good location.

Pros: Good hotel that offers value for money

Pros: we were upgraded to a Loft Apartment

Pros: size of room, location, very competitive price, excellent restaurant attached

Pros: They upgraded us to a loft and the staff were very accomodating.

Cons: I know it was no the hotels problem, but starting early Sunday morning and crane was busy being anchored at 9 Dorp Street for a generator to be hoisted onto the roof of the building. It was extremely noisy and disturbing. The sound proofing of the room is not very good either, making the main road below very audible and once again disturbing.

Pros: breakfast, Butcher's Grill & parking

Pros: Relaxed but better class
