Located just 25 km from the airport and offering well-appointed units with waterfront views. Rewritten: It's only 25 km from the airport, and the units have lovely waterfront views.

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. In the restaurant they even remembered our room number at breakfast, which was very nice, you could order hot selections in addition to the cold buffet they put out.The rooms were very comfortable and well tended to. It was an ideal location being at the v & a waterfront where we could easily walk to dinner each night and not have to get a cab.

I felt very welcome and it was home from home and I was well cared for all the time. Special thanks to your main man on the door and all the staff who car fetched my car, Desmond was one of them. Please pass on the picture to my special friend on the door. He is an asset to Portswood. Deirdre Capell Room 206
The dinner menu needs a bit more variety.

Great location in V&A Waterfront. Safe walking distance to Victoria Wharf shopping mall and all restaurants. In day time we took a walk to Cape Town city centre and then we came back by taxi. Safe place for Cape Town stay. Friendly staff and basically nothing to complain about (compared to price level in that area).
Some improvements in room service could be done and water in the pool is cold.

The Portswood Hotel offers good value for money with a rich breakfast to start your day, including made-to-order omelets and freshly cooked eggs. Its comfortable location in the Waterfront district makes it convenient for visiting attractions like the aquarium, CTICC, and waterfront area.

We found the staff welcoming and very obliging. The hotel's location is perfect in terms of accessibility to local shopping and attractions. It was very convenient having a valet service for vehicle parking. Room service was prompt.
The breakfast serving staff were strangely unfriendly (in comparison to all other staff), and the breakfast service left a lot to be desired. I noticed that we were not the only guests who were unhappy, having to wait to get the attention of a waitress for either coffee or to order a hot breakfast. On one morning, I ordered hot milk with my coffee and it simply never arrived. Another morning the poached eggs were not cooked properly and the scrambled egg was dry and tasteless. Clearly there is something amiss with the morning shift!

Location: the hotel was really close to a Safari that included breakfast, the Waterfront's best bars, shopping and the new Springbok Experience and A quay. Luckily it was close to Vovo Telo, had pastries there when it was wet outside.

The Portswood Hotel offers excellent facilities, attentive staff, and a convenient location near the Waterfront. the rooms are comfortable with beautiful views of Table Mountain. the breakfast choices are excellent, and they even provide breakfast packs for early mornings. the restaurant onsite serves delicious meals, including the must-try mountain burgers. the hotel also arranged a lovely spread for the two oceans marathon runners.
Felt really good, no complaints.

Staff very helpful and friendly. The location is what makes this hotel.....just minutes from the v and a waterfront. We had a very pleasant stay. Rooms quite small and little storage space but it was acceptable for our long weekend break. I would stay there again.
Rooms quite small.
