Having access to a shared living area, kitchen and terrace was great. It was like being in an appartment. Having breakfast on the terrace was very pleasant. The staff were most helpful. Our room on the ground floor was dimly lit and there was no chair or table in the room. The tv seemed to receive only four channels.

The continental breakfast was excellent, as was the staff. The location was good and one could walk to many parts of the city. There is a very nice shopping mall down the street with stores, restaurants and a beautiful supermarket..My room was large, very nicely decorated with great storage space. The bathroom was huge with a great tub on legs and a stall shower. The location was good, but if hills and stairs aren't to one's liking, don't apply. My room didn't have a table or desk. The wifi connection was fine, but having to use your lap top on the bed was was rather uncomfortable. The bathroom sink was almost useless for short people, as the mirror was too high and there was no light near the sink.

The staff was very friendly and helpful and made me very welcome. Pickup was perfectly organised and any question promptly answered. Very flexible and accomodating also on the day of my departure. Clean rooms with no carpet, good size bathroom with big walkin shower, tea and coffee brewing facilities, Breakfast is served on the top floor which also has a terrace with a view on the Table mountain on one side and the harbour area on the other side. Quiet and safe neighborhood with loads of restaurants within very close walking distance and about 15 minutes walk from the v&a Waterkant area. I liked everything about the Waterkant Lodge. If you are noise sensitive be aware that on Friday (only) the nearby Mosque will call to the first prayer at 4.30 am. And if you do not suffer heat well the rooms do not have airconditioning but feature ceiling fans, which I prefer.

It was clean, in a location that is safe, has many restaurants and a shopping centre at its door step, within walking distance to the CBD, V&A Waterfront and easy to board transportation to the beaches. Most of all, the reception was warm, friendly and very helpful with information, sightseeing tips, and helped to book taxis. They even went out of their way to check and book Robben island tour for me online on an earlier date when the operator said that date wasn't available. Service was always with a smile. Availability of eggs for breakfsat would have been nice but I wouldn't complain too loudly for the price I paid.

The friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff, the elegant furnishing and decor, the amenities, drawing room, dining table, balcony; the spacious accomodation and convenient location plus reasonable rates make De Waterkant an excellent place for tourists, especially mature and senior couples.We thoroughly enjoyed our sojourn and will happlily stay there given an opportunity. Absolutely no complaints. Jeremy's gesture of carrying my rather heavy suitcase up to the taxi which was beyond the call of duty was very touching and uis gratefully acknowledged.Thanks, Jeremy, and all the best.

Liked its location, comfortable design, cleanliness..Felt it to be homely. Didnt have any issues at all.. Perhaps the breakfast spread could have been a bit wider, offering a choice.

Fabulous place: huge rooms with lots of atmosphere, friendly staff, great (and safe) location, nice views from the rooftop. I can't wait to go back. The breakfast could be a bit more interesting: maybe a few more savoury choices.

The convenient location next to shops, restaurants & the city. A very homely, relaxed atmosphere & great views of the surroundings. Also the relatively secure neighbourhood Just a minor thing....a properly marked laundry bag would have been nice

Position is good. I liked the idea of having akey to the front door to come and go as I like. Beds were of good quality and the rooms were comfortable with TV and coffee facilities. Our guest was in room #1 which was lousy. It is right at the front door and right through the night people were coming and going with door being opened and locked again with a noise! Even staff early in teh morning was using this one (?) entrance door.So as far as room #1 is concerend I would say: Stay away.Then two small things: there was no soap in our bathroom at the basin and there was no floor mat at the showers. I would recommend with reservations, for example depending on what room etc..Then there are no parking facilities and you have to carry your bags for quite a distance and park in the street where ever you find parking.

La situation geographique de l'hôtel est excellente, les restaurants et boutiques sont au coin de la rue. La chambre est un peu petite et très mal insonorise, les espaces communs ne sont pas top.
