"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.

Upper-middle-range
"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."

The best "classic" rooms marry modern design with old-fashioned charm (a few antiques, floral artworks) -- ask for no. 306.

Top Choice
"The Winchester offers a seaside location... old-fashioned style and some corridors lined with putting greens for a spot of golf practice."

"A renowned, privately owned four-star hotel on Sea Point’s coastal boulevard. Tailor-made tours to the Winelands or to Cape Point can be arranged through consultation with the management."
Rough Guide
"A self-consciously colonial-style 1920s hotel, in a prime spot across the road from the seashore, with an atmosphere straight from the pages of Agatha Christie."
Time Out
"This charming property combines old world details with a thoroughly modern understanding of what one wants from a hotel stay."
