“Waterfront Westin, wifi woes”

The Westin Cape Town sits at the V&A Waterfront entrance — floor-to-ceiling Table Bay and mountain views, spacious bright rooms, the signature Heavenly Bed, a skyline spa on floor nineteen with indoor and outdoor pools, and service called caring throughout; a 100/100 verdict appears. Two critiques stand out: terrible wifi plus a downtown presence of homeless people that felt unsafe to one guest, and an executive suite that lacked turndown service. Security otherwise rates good.

Rooms: Spacious, bright rooms with heavenly beds.
Service: Caring service; one suite lacked turndown.
Location: At the V&A Waterfront entrance; homeless presence.
Food: A rich breakfast and good dining.
Facilities: A skyline spa plus indoor-outdoor pools.
