The Commodore has an Old World elegance. Our room was large enough (not spacious but generous) and it was immaculate. The staff members were lovely - helpful and personable. There is a very nice door/outdoor restaurant where the food was delicious and the service excellent. Location wise - it’s about a long city block to the V & A shopping area which offers anything you need in n a safe atmosphere. We enjoyed out stay very much.

Good hotel in excellent location.There is an inflexible 2pm check-in, though I had contacted the hotel earlier to ask for an earlier check-in as we were arriving early. We found it irritating and annoying that tour groups and many other people were given rooms, and though we asked several times, our room was not available until 2pm on the dot. Surely they could have a little effort to get a room ready so that we didn't have to wait 5 hours. As a result, I would not stay here again.

Lovely hotel, beautiful lobby bar area. Plesant patio garden where you could eat, drink or chill. We had the Durban suite 2047, which was spacious and luxurious. However situated at the side and back of hotel. Small balcony with poor patio furniture. With no cushions. So not encouraged to sit out there. We ate in the restaurant the food was good. Overall staff was helpful plesant. However we had a few hiccups, which the hotel had to resolve. Dont expect quick responses. Stairwall indicates its staff only. Great location near VA waterfront

First night the heating did not work. Inconsistence in room maintenance. Hot water was not hot on the first night. Request for an iron took ages to be complied with. House-keeping was inconsistent from one day to another. There was an attitude of complacency.

It met my hygiene standards, I’m fussy about cleanliness and they won my heart. The food in this place is exceptional. Compliments to the chef(s). My beau and I had an excellent time. Maintenance should step up. House keeping should also maintain a checklist of items so that they don’t forget to replenish items. Overall, it is a quality facility.
