The hotel staff was friendly The ambience was excellent The food was Devine Best hotel ever
South AfricaFrank the gentleman who was behind the bar and up and down in the restaurant was amazing. Made us feel so welcome and was so friendly but very professional
South AfricaHave stayed before and as always, the Taj did not disappoint. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the facilities are superb. It was rather disappointing to find that the Mint restaurant was closed and their traditional and wonderful buffet breakfast was not available. However, this is due to the Covid pandemic and therefore understandable. Breakfast is now served in the foyer and is plated.
South AfricaThe gym and pool facilities were wonderful and exceptionally clean (a large gym and heated pool). The room was very cozy and comfortable. Breakfast the next day was phenomenal! I can't wait to return!
South AfricaFacilities are incredible, staff were amazing, and the service didn’t go unnoticed. We had a few hiccups which were resolved immediately by a manager named Papy! We felt at home. We will 100% be back!
South AfricaExcellent location, service and cleanliness. They go out of their way to make sure
South AfricaStaff are amazing - from start to finish couldn’t ask for better service. My room was fantastic with an amazing view of Table Mountain and Lions Head. Sometimes 5 star hotels lack somewhere - this place ticks every box! I’ll be returning monthly (if possible!)
United KingdomStaff were friendly and had a great attitude. great breakfast and setting was perfect with an amazing view of Table Mountain
South AfricaBreakfast was superb.. Felicia was a star, absolutely friendly and helpful.. We really enjoyed our stay. Definitely will be returning.
