“Cape Town's commodore”

On a great spot walking distance from the V&A Waterfront — perfect for evening strolls — The Commodore Hotel is a great all-good stay: a recommended junior suite, excellent nice staff, a very good breakfast and full facilities for a family staycation getaway. Cautions: a slightly-old room, street noise from around 6am and renovation noise starting before 8am.
