Top Nelson Mandela Gateway Hotel Reviews

AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, quiet, and comfortable. Excellent restaurant on site. Staff all excellent. Good location. Nice view of Table Mountain from the room."

Hotel Sky Cape Town

8/10 Good

"Great location with plenty of places within walking distance. The views from the lounge and restaurant on the 25th–27th floors were incredible, making it a great spot to relax and take in the city. The breakfast and lunch were good, and the staff was friendly, professional, and welcoming. And what an experience sleeping in the bunk beds—definitely reminiscent of childhood! It was a fun and unique touch that made the stay memorable. One thing to keep in mind: pack your patience for the elevators! They can be quite a wait, especially during busy times. Overall, a unique stay with great views, a convenient location, and wonderful staff."
