Feedback about One&Only Cape Town Hotel from previous guests about their experience
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The One&Only Cape Town is highly praised for its prime location near the V&A Waterfront, making it easy to explore attractions like Robben Island and Table Mountain via the hop-on-hop-off bus. Guests consistently highlight the spaciousness of the rooms, especially those with harbour views, which also offer views of Table Mountain, along with spotless accommodations and complimentary tea and coffee. Dining experiences receive considerable attention, with Nobu and Isola being frequently recommended; however, a few guests mentioned that the check-in process could be smoother.

safe locationmisleading menunon existent service
The hotel location was acceptable, and I could walk to many places safely.
The breakfast brunch menu misled me completely. The greeter said eggs and oatmeal were a la carte. I was shocked to see the total bill at 595 Rand. The omelette was awful. The waitress service was non existent.
