This is a large busy hotel located in a central location. We were a family group with three rooms, all of which were clean and comfortable. On arrival at the hotel, we were checked in quickly and efficiently and were offered sweets from a complimentary sweet bar adjacent to the Reception Desks. Our bags were delivered to our rooms by a very pleasant friendly gentleman. The rooms were quite large and had complimentary bottles of water in the fridge along with little packets of sweets. The bathroom was clean and had toiletries provided. The safe provided was great, extra large to handle laptops etc. The lifts had glass fronts and operated quickly. The lobby area was lovely. We had breakfast each morning and this was varied and tasty. We had dinner at the buffet a couple of nights although there is also a restaurant at the bar area in the lobby. We travelled to the Victoria Waterfront a couple of nights via Uber and this was convenient as there is an area immediately in front of the hotel to facilitate pickups and set downs. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay at the Southern Sun Cape Sun.

I would just like to point out that I don’t do revues as a rule as I suffer from dyslexia, so righting this review takes a long time, but I feel I needed to do this. Me and my wife came to cape down to celebrate our 40th anniversary on the 22nd January on arriving at your hotel we were amazed at the lovely atmosphere and elegance in this place, with the piano playing in the back ground (very nice touch) we stayed for 5 days and we feel the staff were very friendly and helpful always with a big smile and help make this hotel what it is first class. Beautiful room and such lovely views, the restraint and food were very good to, I could go on and on. We were also very touched when the manager came up to our room with a tray off chocolates and drinks to wish us a happy 40th anniversary, sorry did not get his name. We were truly impressed. we had a wonderful stay. BIG THANK YOU TO ALL!!! love Alan & Heather x

We stayed here between Christmas and New Year. The location is good, in downtown Cape Town, and about a 25 minute walk to the V&A Waterfront. There are also hourly free shuttles to and from the waterfront. Breakfast is a standard 4* and the rooms have lovely views of the city and mountain, depending on the position and height of the room. They managed to accommodate a huge amount of people as the hotel was clearly very full and all remained very friendly and helpful.

We enjoyed our one-week stay at the hotel. The staff was amazing! A key misgiving was lack of a positive response when we requested for shuttle service to pick us up on arrival from the airport.

Conveniently located at walking distance to the convention center, great view of the Table Mountain from my room (high floor). 6 lifts never let you wait more than a minute or so. There are areas that my experience could have been better, such as a faster check-in (took a while), fixing my air conditioner (not cooling properly), an office chair (the wooden chair was loosen and very non-ergometric, uncomfortable), more toiletry amenities (shaving kit, toothbrush, etc). The check-out gentlemen wasn't on a great customer-service mood.

Great location, I had everything that I needed. The staff were friendly and helpful.
It would be better if the Southern Sun did a major re-vamp to the rooms as the fittings are a bit outdated.
But overall, a pleasant stay was had.
