What people say
I usually stay at the Waterfront and only chose the Taj out of neccesity because everyone else was full with Argus bookings. I was very pleasantly surprised. This is an excellent 5 star hotel at a fraction of the cost of some competitors. The city location is vibrant and interesting. I had an excellent room with magnificent views of table mountain and lions head. Will definately come back.
The staff are outstanding and committed to first class service.
There is attention to detail throughout the hotel.
The hotel is superb and I find it difficult to fault anything.
The Mint restaurant was brilliant and one member of staff was outstanding - her name was Faith.
The Tower Suite rooms are superb and worth the extra money.
The Taj, Cape Town is a testament to hedonism. It's facilities resonates through every fibre of ones senses from the superlative service, the luxurious rooms and the gastronomic delights of its culinary offerings. It is a seduction which will make Cape Town never to be the same again. Ebrahim Moolla.
The sheer luxury of the offering at the Taj starting from the expectation of its high end pedigree, it's friendly staff, the magnificient food, especially at the Brassiere Restaurant and the apex of it all the luxurious and well appointed rooms. A stay could almost tempt you not to leave the room.
The Taj is amongst the best hotels in the world. Everything is of top quality, and the service is the best. The quality of the breakfast, the Mint Restuarant, the high tea, the gym, sauna, spa and more. I will recommend this Hotel to anyone who wants to be spoilt silly. The Taj is your option.
The staff and hotel are wonderful. Breakfast is very varied, but make sure you ask about what South Indian hot food options they have for breakfast. They'll never volunteer the information, but it's very good once you do order it! The free valet parking is incredibly convenient.all reviews »
I worked for an airline and often used F.C. accommodation in various countries. The Taj was superb. The bathroom and facilities are superb. The rooms elegant and surgical clean. At the reception the clerk gave us a tour of the hotel and listed all the facilities available.
My daughter and I were treated like royalty, the staff were so friendly and welcoming, the entire experience was amazing. This was my first visit to Cape Town and I have been raving non stop about the excellent service at the Taj Cape Town.
The hotel is great, very luxurious, good location if you want to stay in
town. Is on the walking zone. Is a big hotel with a lot of rooms, lot of
people. Breakfast was very crowded, but good food. Great rooms, again
with a lot of luxury.
I loved everything about this hotel,I lived in Cape Town for many years and this was my first time back in a couple of years,the Taj Hotel was a lovely experience,in the city centre,with a great service,the spa was also wonderful.
The Staff were exceptional.
I stayed over for the Argus Cycle Tour - they upgraded us to a beautiful room.
The hotel is perfect and clean.
The rooms are perfect - perhaps the lighting could be improved. Reading could be a problem.
The Taj hotel building itself is beautiful, we had fantastic views from our suite.
The staff could not do enough to help us.
The food was excellent as were the dining rooms.
Great location for exploring Cape Town.
Room including breakfast (great buffet) was a good bargain and it was next to walking street-mall, Company Gardens and hopon-hopoff bus line. Twankey's bar/coffee next door was a great hang out with free internet.
The whole experience was wonderful. Hotel is at an excellent location and with great ambience and the staff were very friendly. If I am going back to Cape Town, I will definitely stay at same hotel !.
I loved the convenience of the location.
Professional staff.
The heritage and design/architecture of the Taj hotel.
The service and experience was equal to my experience at the Taj Palace in Mumbai.
service excellent. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The car service around the city was great. Left our camera in the room and we received a call within 30min after leaving.
Loved that we were upgraded to the Club. Location was perfect for us for
sightseeing in the city. Twain keys was a favourite visit for lunch,
dinner and supper. Staff were all genuinely friendly.
Great location, luxury rooms, clean and new towels and linens. Very polite and friendly staff. Excellent concierge service. Excellent gourmet Indian restaurant. Great and invisible house keeping.
The Taj Hotel is centrally located in Cape Town and within easy reach of tourist attractions.
Excellent staff and amazing service.
Luxury room and excellent bathroom.
Food of very good quality.
Quality of service from the moment we arrived at the hotel. Hotel was central to most areas of interest. To have a room upgrade on arrival added that special touch and was greatly appreciated.
Majority of staff friendly and helpful. They tend to have a good knowledge of the city and its environment.The decor of the hotel is fantastic and create an ambiance of days gone past.
we enjoyed the entire five star experience. great staff allround. rooms were very comfortable and we had an amazing view of table mountain. we will definitely return to this hotel.
From the moment we pulled up outside the Taj, we were treated to wonderful service, friendly staff and absolute tranquility. An absolutely wonderful experience.
The Taj is ideally located for site seeing. The hotel is of a high standard with excellent staff. Everything is thought of for your convenience and comfort.
Right in the centre of CPT. Staff extremely professional and amicable.
Value for money really can't be beaten. We were not expecting such a nice hotel.
The room was very comfortable, the food was amazing (Mint and Bombay Brassiere), the staff was friendly and helpful and the bar was very modeslty priced.
Rooms were luxurious, great bathroom, the best Molton Brown toiletries. Staff from bellboys to room-service were knowledgable, friendly and helpful.
I found the whole experience extremely good. We had a free upgrade and the staff were extremely helpful. Would certainly use the hotel again.
Stylish rooms. Great view. Excellent location. Excellent concierge
service. Helpful front desk. Chauffeur service was excellent.
The staff and sevice were excellent. Best breakfast we've ever had in a hotel. The location was perfect. Very reasonably priced.
The hotel is elegantly designed, very clean and luxurious. the facilities are out of this world and the staff is just wonderful.
The staff know just what to do. They are very responsive. Grwat team, highly motivated. Rooms were beautiful, shuttle perfect.
all of it, a great place to stay and eat (we tried all three in the hotel) and our room was a real treat after a long flight!!.
Spa facities was excellent . Overall experience was good. Would defiantly recommend the hotel and will stay there again.
relaxing - stunning city vibe, friendly staff - beautiful rooms and bathrooms, nice in room dinning and affordable.
Very nice and spacious rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Good location. In general the hotel was luxurious!.
A good place if you need to the in Cape Town central, a bit busy with lots of guest in tour busses.
Exactly what you want from a 5* hotel.. The staff are very professional. The pool is lovely.
Friendly staff, amazing location, amazing room, amazing bathroom, good restaurants and bar.
Lovely hotel & furnishings, helpful and polite staff, excellent service all around.

Hotel was very modern, clean, all amenities expected of a 5 star hotel.
Decor
luxury and comfort of the rooms
location
facilities
breakfast.
Rooms were amazing; did a lot to provide extras; breakfast amazing.
Nothing at all.
Nothing really.
There is nothing to say that I did not like about this hotel.
Normally i always search for mistakes but here I was frustrated. I read one very negative letter from one of the persons who stayed in the hotel but the Director General response was so professional that really makes the client even a grumbling one a king.
It is not a cozy hotel, in the sense that is a big one... Lot os people
all the time. Too crowded breakfast. We had to sit upstairs and all the
buffet was downstairs, so walking up and down is not that pleasant.
The express breakfast set up for the cyclists wasn't good.
Bran muffins and bananas.
Next time please put out a bread table with some cheese and cold meats. Perhaps some cooked oats with milk and muffins. Just not bran muffins!!.
daily charge for internet at the motel.
Internet was not included. Could have been a better value for money if availbale. Even when I wanted to buy Internet time, did not work smoothly with iPad.
Booking a table at the Bombay Brassiere proved difficult even though we were hotel guests. We did get a table eventually and found it strange that there were tables available throughout the evening.
The 30 minutes free wifi in the room should be extended to a longer period of time.
there was nothing that would cause any concern.
The receptionist was very curt and business-like when checking in.My wife remarked that she felt as if she was ignored-this was the only not so good experience!.
cant think of anything.
The internet service is a rip off (230 ZAR for 24 hrs) and the speed is very slow, you dont even get adequate coverage in the room, if you are a business traveller this may put you off.
Reception staff were a little stiff and snooty.
Gave me trouble when I needed to use the cellphone charger. Shower
leaked and hand-held shower did not work properly - it kept switching
back to overhead shower. I ordered in-room dining and staff removed it
befor I could complete my meal the next morning. Mint restaurant does
not cater well for lacto-vegetarians! Service at Mint restaurant was
poor! High-tea did not have any vegetarian pastry items. Breakfast for
vegetarians was bland and did not cater for vegetarians well.
We had to pay 400R for late check-out after staying there for one week.
Breakfast range looks limited for a five star hotel.
Some confusion about the address- Wale va Whale (or Waal...).
that we could not stay longer!.
For a 5 star hotel the breakfast could definately be improved upon.
parking at the entrance - bit limited space and takes time for valet service.
The food could be improved.
Separate mens and womens jacuzzis...couldn't relax in one with my wife which was a shame.
reception - not cordial & showed very little effort in making the guest feel welcome.some were ok but for a few white receptionists needs to be given some lesson on
public relations.
Mix up at check out resulted in me being charged double for the room despite being told room was settled when I checked in.
Shower door not closing properly.
Inedible scrambled eggs at breakfast.
Housekeeping was spotty. Had top frequently call the front desk for
things housekeeping forgot (E.G. to replace coffee, tea pot, shoes left
for shining not returned, etc.).
Check in experience was very long...didn't find the boo
king on their system and we had to wait an hour for our luggage.
HIgh tea experience was not the best...the cakes looked nice but the taste was not great..
asked for an adapter and they said they would deliver it, but then it was not delivered.
