"Situated in a white building with a glass entrance and five floors of guest rooms, this hotel is nautically themed like its less-opulent sibling next door, the PortsWood."

Room service is offered 24 hours a day, but the staff is a mixed bag, often ignoring special requests.
Star Service
"Nautical and historical decor including large maps, an antique model ship and a large globe adds a sense of importance to the location.

"The 236-room Commodore is a pleasant enough, but slightly dated upper-middle-range hotel located in the V&A Waterfront area of Cape Town, a few minutes' walk from the quayside."

Fodor's
"St. James is where the English aristocrats holidayed, and the air of moneyed elegance hasn't dissipated. Emphasis is on space, light, and comfort."
Time Out
"An ideal position opposite St James tidal pool and the catwalk that winds its way all the way to Muizenberg ensures that those who love the sea are in their element here."

"Just 30 minutes outside Cape Town in the charming town of St. James, the opulent 1930s house-hotel... sits atop a hill with a gorgeous view of the ocean."
