I totally enjoyed my stay, the staff were very friendly and helpful...the room was very clean, nice and comfortable...I felt like I was at home away from home. The cost to stay at the hotel was very competitive also, and of course I like the location as it's in a very safe neighborhood

Property is connected to the mall, so everything is right there. Rooms are small but efficient, my room was located directly over the music area, so it was a bit challenging late in the evening. Staff was great!!!

A short two nights stay at the Southern Sun Hotel in central Cape Town at the end of our cruise. Had to wait a long time to be taken to our room so we left our luggage in the hotel store and went to the seafront until late afternoon which was very nice. Had a nice snack in the evening in the lovely hotel bar. Didn’t get much chance to use the pool as it was evening time and quite dark. Would love to visit this hotel again in the future.

Hotel is fine just needs a bit more attention to cleanliness. Gym was not stocked with water and needs tidy more regularly. Location is very convenient.

I used to love this hotel, so Central and practical with easy access to Hyde Park shopping centre, but the service has gone down so much. Not nice, no efforts, I won’t be back.

The internet frequently malfunctions, and my phone consistently fails to connect with Housekeeping, Concierge, and Front Desk. Despite my repeated requests to the front desk, I stayed here for eight nights in a room with a subpar view – initially facing the mall parking lot and later overlooking the restaurant's roof.
