Great location in Cape Town.

Reasonably safe location in Cape Town in waterfront area. Breakfast was delicious. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Hotel was relatively new. Staff were enthusiastic.

Very nice hotel. Very reasonably priced. The breakfast provided was excellent. Lunch and dinner available also a nice bar. Close to V & A waterfront (we used Bolt less then $3 one way) for shopping and dinning.

AC MARRIOTT VA Waterfront Cape Town

The shuttle service could run a bit more regular. Staff were friendly. Rooms were very clean and amenities were good.

Great hotel and faultless service

Not being right on the waterfront - and having to Uber there and back at night, rather than walk - is a little frustrating, but other than that this hotel was perfect. Rooms are huge and tasteful, everything is spotlessly clean and the staff are exceptional - pleasant and efficient service at every encounter.
Carly, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Enjoyed the view of Table Mountain! Was very close to cruise terminal
Valerie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful hotel, but location is remote

Stayed for 3 nights in June 2025 prior to a group tour. The hotel is great and all of the staff members were lovely and kind! The only negative about this hotel is that it is essentially at the end of a dead end road (there is a security fence surrounding the hotel), so you have to follow the road back out to the main street to go anywhere. That being said, we walked around quite a bit, even at night, and found the area very safe.

Best hotel stay ever

We had a semi long stay at the AC, it was wonderful, from the reception staff, to the tour advisors to the in room dining, to the morning breakfast staff, everyone is just wonderful and attentive. They are super polite and caring and helpful beyond normal. Would 100% recommend

The hotel was very clean.
julie, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel was very good but I booked this hotel because I thought it was walking distance com V&A Waterfront. Its right beside V&A but there's no access. It is impossible to walk from the hotel to the mall and the are only a few shuttles during the day.

5-night trip

8/10 Very good

This property is listed as a VC Waterfront hotel. However, it is a 15-20 minute walk to the central VC Waterfront district. It's a nice walk, but the gate to the walkway closed at 8:00 pm so be mindful of this when venturing out. Breakfast was nice and convenient.

The hotel was a great choice for our family. Safe and beautiful area and the staff extremely friendly.
