For both city and sea front experiences, this was perfect
Pros:

For both a city and sea front experiences, this was perfect. We enjoyed walking around the hotel and to the V& A Waterfront. The hotel is classy and the Utopia restaurant (for breakfast) is fantastic and I enjoyed the variety. The view up there makes for a wonderful way to begin your day.

Exceptional Hotel that Will Make your visit to Cape Town More Special
Pros:

This is a beautiful hotel. Located between the Waterfront and Bo-Kapp, it's location is convenient for walking or short Uber rides to locations. Staff were attentive and frequently asked me if they could help me. My room was comfortable, everything worked, and the electricity stayed on 24-hours/day. The rooftop restaurant, Utopia, is considered one of the best in the city.

Like meeting a long-lost friend
Pros:

Beautiful facilities, with spacious studio apartments, and a stunning rooftop restaurant. But what really made the experience memorable was the professional who checked me in. She was amazing. Throughout my five days, she went out of her way to ensure every aspect of my stay was taken care of: adding an extra night, combining reservations so I wouldn’t have to change rooms, booking my Diamond Museum tour, and genuinely caring about my entire Cape Town experience. She showed real interest in my well-being, like a long-lost friend. What a special person. Thank you!

Pros:

Our stay at The Capitol Mirage was great. The room was big & had a lot of things we didn't even know came with the room. There was a full kitchen & a washer & dryer, that really came in handy, a nice balcony too. Uber pick up is great for right outside the hotel. Table Mountain is only a 10-15 minute Uber ride from here, the Marina area is close by too. It's walking distance, but is an easy taxi ride as well. Basically, the hotel is very centrally located. Breakfast on the roof is a great way to start your day & the views are nice too. We ate at the Cattle Baron restaurant in the hotel & the food was exceptional. We had a table outside & it was a great way to end our trip. When we come back to Cape Town we'll be staying here again!!

Exceptional property 👌
Pros:

This property exceeded all our expectations. The staff went out of their way to make our engagement 💍 super special. The reception desk, room service and Utopia restaurant were simply top notch. The suites are huge with walk in rain showers, with direct shower access from the large patio with stunning De Waterkant Village Views. Well equipped little kitchen with all amenities, microwave, espresso machine, fridge etc. Two life-size plasma TVs. A huge lounge area with ample seating. King-size bed woth fluffy high qualify linen. In addition, a washing machine and tumble dryer. Highly recommended 👌

Fantastic apartment in great location
Pros:

Between long street and the Q&A, this apartment is in a perfect location. The two restaurants are very good and a convenient solution if you had a busy day. The Cattle Baron is well.used by locals so book earlier in the day. The apartment has everything you might need and is spotless. The reception staff can't do enough to help you
