Staff goes above and beyond, very friendly and fast. Breakfast quality and variety is truly outstanding. Spa and pool area is also well done and makes you feel like you are tucked away in an oasis within the city.
The room was large and spotless and the view of Table Mountain was spectacular. The little gifts left after turndown were a beautiful touch, quite fitting to the whole hotel. Last but no least the guest experience staff and concierge staff were amazing and made our visit that bit more special. If we can, we will definately be back.
The staff is extremely warm, friendly, professional, and beyond helpful. Breakfast is unbelievable. Every type of breakfast food buffet in the large room plus ability to order off the menu. The hotel is in a fantastic location at the Waterfront in Cape Town.
Excellent service. Beautiful view of Table Mountain from the room. Nice bar. Wonderful breakfast. The gym was well equipped. Decent bar too with some live music.
Excellent stay at the One and Only. Staff all were all very friendly and helpful, luxurious room with stunning view of table mountain, breakfasts were a particularly excellent experience. Great location a short stroll from the waterfront.
Nice hotel at the waterfront, a few minutes walk to the shopping and dining center of the city. Location wise top and very friendly service staffs. However, a five star hotel with nothing special, price much too expensive for South African cities.
The most amazing customer service I have ever received! Everyone from the front door, the concierge staff to the wait staff! Beautiful property and perfectly appointed rooms! Loved the One and Only..:so aptly named!
Luxurious property. Friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. Gold status not recognised until prompted. Despite the breakfast buffet being high quality and huge, the busy breakfast room (with sticky tables) reminds you this is a big hotel. Nobu restaurant superb. Other food only 8/10.
Exceptional Stay at The One and Only Hotel, Cape Town
During my recent visit to Cape Town, I had the distinct pleasure of staying at The One and Only Hotel, and I can confidently say it was an experience beyond compare. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of sheer luxury and impeccable service that truly sets this hotel apart from any other.
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Cape Town V & A Waterfront, The One and Only offers breathtaking views of both the majestic Table Mountain and the bustling V&A Waterfront. The hotel's prime location makes it the perfect base for exploring the city's rich cultural heritage, pristine beaches, and world-renowned vineyards.
The room I stayed in was nothing short of spectacular. Spacious, elegantly decorated, and equipped with every modern amenity one could wish for, it provided a sanctuary of comfort and style. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring restful nights, while the private balcony offered stunning views that made every morning a delight.
Culinary excellence is a hallmark of The One and Only. The diverse dining options cater to all tastes, from the exquisite Japanese cuisine at Nobu to the contemporary African flavors at Reuben's. Each meal was a gourmet adventure, crafted with the finest ingredients and presented with impeccable flair. The breakfast buffet, in particular, was a daily feast with an array of fresh fruits, pastries, and hot dishes to satisfy every palate.
A remarkable stay!
