The staff at the Cullinan was excellent. From house cleaning, to the excellent chef, to the great bus drive..Kayah and Freddie were awesome and so many of the waiters had exactly what I wanted to drink each morning. Thanks for a memorable stay. I felt like I was leaving my family. The Wattley family Dexter,Vanessa and kids.

Great place to stay. Not much to complain about. Can do without the hotel manager nagging about a $3 dollar tourism levy which can be settled at anytime.

Fabulous hotel! Staff are warm & welcoming as well as accommodating any requests.
Hotel overall is very good. Rooms do show a little tiredness in places however, a renovation is planned for this winter.
Hotel facilities are excellent. Well equipped gym & amazing spa. Well worth grabbing a massage there! Pool towels and SPF provided which is a nice touch.
Full range offered for breakfast, whatever your thing is! Self service with eggs cooked to order by the chefs.
Hotel bar & café offers great selection of meals as well as drinks.
Free shuttle to V&A waterfront but you can also easily walk there within 10 minutes.
Fabulous stay, can throughly recommend & will 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.

Stopped at this hotel for 10 nights with the family. Facilities were great and all the staff were fabulous. They could not have been more helpful.
The bar and restaurant was a good standard and very reasonably priced.
The rooms were spotless but a little tired although the hotel is about to undergo a major refurb,

The hotel was fine. It was clean, staff was nice and friendly. Had never been to South Africa so it wasn't in an area that I expected it to be after seeing the pictures online. But all was fine.

Beautiful hotel. We stayed here prior to and after a cruise. The hotel offers a shuttle service to and from the airport. They also shuttled us to the docks to board the ship. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet (included) and the food service outside by the pool. Delicious food in beautiful surroundings. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Great location to be close to the ocean and the docks. The staff were very polite and accommodating.

Stayed for 4 nights at beginning of a 2 week stay. The hotel itself is great. The rooms are spacious, if a little dated. Really nice breakfast around the pool. The Stella bar does fabulous food and drinks at very good prices. The staff are excellent. Lovely pool area. There's iced water and even complementary sun cream.
My issue is the location. It's in the financial district so there's nothing around. There's a complentary hourly bus to the waterfront which is very handy. The hop on hop off bus stops very nearby.
Although the hotel is less than 1km from the bars and restaurants of Bree Street, when we tried to walk, we were almost mugged by an organised gang less than 100m from the hotel. This was at 11.30 am when we attempted to go out for a post breakfast coffee. If leaving the hotel at all, you need to take an Uber.
6.0
The room was dated, TV had a bad signal,
shower and toilet were not functioning good. There was a bath but this is unneccessary. The gym was not well equipped. At ground floor all looked nice, cafe was good and the food in there was amazing. Personnel was friendly, also at breakfast.
5.0
Our stay was fabulous at this beautiful property. All the employees were so friendly and helpful. The meals at Stella were delicious. The sweet and spicy margaritas were wonderful. The wait staff were excellent. The property, rooms and lobby were extremely clean and well kept.
I enjoyed one of the best massages at the spa by Lolisa!
Special thanks to: John, Anthony the manager and Serina.
Also, Freddy the shuttle driver was so friendly and helpful.
You must select this hotel for your stay in Cape Town!

The hotel room was a little tired. The air conditioning was poor - it was so humid in the room that the towels were wet constantly.

The hotel itself is really well staffed, all of them are super helpful, polite and knowledgeable. I suppose the best review message I can put is: "We are re booking two weeks in 2024 as a result of our experience there" I would recommend this hotel and it's employees

Was very impressed we were able to get our room on arrival in the morning after a long night flight. We were very grateful as we were very tired.
Breakfast was fantastic
Bedroom a little tired could go with a bit of a spruce up.

The property is very close to the cruise terminal and waterfront. It is as beautiful as it looks in the pictures. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast buffet was (according to husband) the best one he has ever had.

This hotel has a great location near the end of the main shopping street. It is also quite close to the harbour side shopping/eating area which is walkable but they also provide a complimentary shuttle bus. The staff we met were all very friendly welcoming and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable and serviced daily.
