The valet service, the family suite and the Taj lounge on second floor exceeded our expectations. Unfortunately the experience from pre-paid dinners at the Mint restaurant and the total lack of hotel recognition for my birthday for round years, were below our expectations for a 5 star hotel.

Taj was ok ok.
Not like TAJ
We have to ask for our dinner voucher which they should have provided us themself as it was included in our booking.
Even our wine bottle.there was one wine bottle per booking. We had two bookings but they gave only one.
But must say there MINT staff was tooo good as compare to reception staff.

We stayed at the Taj in Colombo earlier this year; and compared to that property, this one just fell a bit flat. The bed was super comfy, the location was great, but a lot of the details just weren’t there for a 5 star hotel. The amenities in the bedrooms were small, single use plastics which is sad to see in 2024. The bedroom was a good size; but very dated and old-fashioned.
I informed the hotel a few days before arrival that we were travelling for our honeymoon. A day before arriving; the hotel emailed to ask if we were travelling for a special occasion. Again, I told them it was our honeymoon. But then nothing at all was done to mark or acknowledge the occasion.
We had a dinner in the Bombay Brasserie; which was by far the most expensive meal we had in SA, but it was also one of the most mediocre. Service was good and nothing we ate was bad, but it was just completely forgettable and I know in a month I won’t remember anything I ate.
We did the whisky tasting in the whisky bar, which was nice, but there was no actual bar in the ‘whisky bar’ and a TV was blaring football so it felt far more of a sports bar, than an intimate and cozy whisky snug. We got the menu with the tasting notes of the whiskies, but the menu was clearly just cut out with scissors and had jagged edges.
One day we got turndown service; one day we didn’t.
Nichole though at reception was fantastic. we mentioned these issues and she sent some wine to our room.

The food was excellent, everybody was super nice and friendly, especially Smiley, Memory, Lulu, Cynthia,Jade,the Chef, I think his name is Abdul. The room was exceptionally comfortable and clean. We were treated like family. It was a great experience, we didn’t want to leave, we’re going to miss you. Thank you so much for everything.

Stay was was excellent. Breakfast was amazing. The heritage wing is dated and has creeky wooden floors which was disturbing and a noise thats annoying. The heritage wing also needs a refurb.
Other than that it was an excellent stay.

Amazing staff and service. Micky the Hotel Manager went above and beyond to help make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The wellness center, the choice of food, the willingness to cater to our special requests etc, all made our stay memorable. Highly recommend the hotel.
10.0 / 10.0
Micky, the Duty Manager, took excellent care of us and provided great customer service to compensate us for non-availability of a previously booked room on the check-in day. The room was not available because of a water leak on the 9th floor so all rooms on that floor were closed.

The Taj was AMAZING not because of the beautiful building and cleanliness, but because of the beautiful souls that work there. From the valet to the front desk the staff welcomed us and gave us great recommendations. Lulu and Zim, you made our trip to cape town unforgettable! It’s the smaller things in life that matter and the Taj has won my vote.
6.0 / 10.0
Overall a disappointment from a well regarded brand. Checkin was rushed and impersonal, also they don’t preauthorise credit card, but rather charge for incidentals in advance, at check in. Most unimpressively, there is no evening turndown service (which is shocking for a luxury brand!). Valet parking returned my car covered in bird poop (when I complained they did have this washed). Oddly there was a drought of towels, which were taken away and not replaced. Overall just disappointing for a brand with such prestige.

The service we received at the TAJ was exemplary. We booked the TAJ based on previous stays at 2 locations in India and are so glad we did. We were immediately greeted on arrival. The staff took charge of our numerous pieces of luggage and our reservation was pulled up while we were offered a special tea and then whisked away to our room. The room was quite large with seating and ample space to open our luggage. The bathroom was modern and huge and gorgeous. Everything worked! We were delighted we book the Executive floor and really enjoyed relaxing during the evening happy hour. The sparkling white wine they served was better than the ones we were served during wine samplings at 3 other locations. The service during the evening was great and helpful with tips for our stay. The breakfast buffet and service were spot on. There were many different types of food so it was easy to find something you wanted. Coffee was great and replenished frequently. After the first day our waitress remembered our preferences. She was a delight and made our stay even better. I would book this hotel again without looking further.
