Great hotel in central Cape Town. An easy walk to the markets and shops. Lots of restaurants around. While you have to be careful in Cape Town, it was a lot safer than NYC or Chicago. Staff were very helpful and the restaurants in the hotel were great.

This is an excellent property located extremely close to the convention center. It is in a safe location. The hotel offers a delicious buffet, which is open unless there is a special event scheduled. The best part is that it is adequately staffed for a proper 24-hour service experience. You should stay here.

We stayed for four nights and had a wonderful experience. Our hotel room was warm, inviting and comfortable. The staff in the hotel and restaurant were all very kind, helpful and great with our kids. The complimentary shuttle to the V&A waterfront is a nice service. You can pick up the sightseeing bus from there, or across from the hotel. Overall a very pleasant and comfortable stay in a great location. Would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at the Southern Sun Cullinan. The room was very clean and each day we were provided with a snack or fruit. The dining was top notch and we particularly enjoyed the breakfast buffet each day. The staff was friendly and helpful even during checkout day when the lobby was pretty chaotic. Will stay again if we’re in Cape Town in the future.

It’s standard room (Queen size). It was fluffy towels, the shower was excellent. The downstairs Stella Dining and Bar was wonderful. Particularly enjoyed the salmon appetizer. Unfortunately, the shampoo was missing.
