The Queen Victoria Hotel is conveniently located in Cape Towns waterfront, just minutes from the Zeitz Mocaa gallery, Red & Blue bus tours, the aquarium and open air performance spaces. From the moment you walk through the door you are enthusiastically greeted and shown around the beautiful property. The level of excellence amongst the staff is such that you immediately feel “at home” and relaxed. There is a pool area situated in a garden where you can take a dip or order food or drinks. It’s a private sanctuary space, only ambient noise without canned music blaring out. Our premium King room was beautifully decorated, quiet with tall ceilings and lovely bathroom products and towels. Walking to the waterfront was literally a short walk across the street, in an area with many security guards which made us feel comfortable returning from the excellent shopping options or dinner nearby. If I return to Cape Town, this is the place where I would stay, it’s a ten!

Perfect stay in Dock House. Everything about the hotel & facilities are excellent & the staff really do go the extra mile to make the stay special. The location is perfect for Waterfront & we would definitely recommend.

Charming staff, beautiful room, great breakfast. Perhaps worth noting that pool is not actually on site but via a small car park area - as previous guests we knew that in advance and not an issue.

First stop en route up the garden route for our honeymoon and couldn’t have got off to a better start. The hotel itself is amazing very modern with all the amenities you could ask for. The staff were very attentive and friendly can not speak highly enough of all involved with the hotel. The breakfast as well was amazing and set us up perfectly every morning for the rest of the day

I can’t say enough about the staff here. Check in was not waiting in line in front of a long counter. Instead, you were seated at a desk and given a beverage to sip on during the quick check in process. There was always someone nearby to ask a question. The breakfast that was included had so many choices and was delicious! Location was a very short walk to the Waterfront. Room was very nice with a small tray of treats to greet us. Bathroom included heated towel racks which were a pleasant surprise. My only criticism was that the bathroom toilet area had obviously had a water leak so the paint was bulging and looked horrible which was certainly not in keeping with the rest of the hotel. I would definitely recommend.

Despite Cape Town being a somewhat dangerous destination at the moment, I felt very safe and taken care of at the hotel, given proper guidance on activities and how to enjoy the surrounding area. I would definitely return to stay again!

The overall hotel is quite nice, however, the assignment of room was a bit questionable. Our room was right next to the public restrooms in the lobby and felt like we were assigned to the service quarters. Even though we booked a premium room with a canal view, the room did not feel like one of the premium assignments nor did it have the canal view. When I opened the window to take a lookout, the top hinge fell apart causing the window to fall away and I could not close it. The maintenance group did respond quickly and managed to close it and put weather stripping in the gaps so at least I did not get a draft nor hear the wind whistling all night. This experience was a bit disappointing for a hotel of this caliber and price.
