CLAUDIO, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed for four nights and had a wonderful experience. Our hotel room was warm, inviting and comfortable. The staff in the hotel and restaurant were all very kind, helpful and great with our kids. The complimentary shuttle to the V&A waterfront is a nice service. You can pick up the sightseeing bus from there, or across from the hotel. Overall a very pleasant and comfortable stay in a great location. Would definitely stay again.
Melanie, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent base for a stay in Cape Town for business or pleasure. Superb staff at Reception, Dining room, bar, housekeeping. The regular shuttle to V & A Waterfront much appreciated. Thank you; would definitely stay again.
Peter, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel location was excellent. Breakfast was very good. The staff were also good in general, except the lady who made egg during breakfast. The hotel rooms were not sound proof, not even sound resistant. You can hear everything from the corridors, neighboring rooms, noise from outside, virtually everything. Not comfortable to work or sleep due to noise.

Graham Lee, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Dexter, 16-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Stanley, 3-night trip

The Cullinan Southern Sun is a really lovely hotel. The staff are friendly and accommodating and the hotel itself is well maintained & clean. I would recommend it to anyone staying in Cape Town
Barry, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Good location with shuttles to V&A. More of a Business hotel. Not many activities for family with kids.

The staff from reception to bar/ restaurant staff were so hard working and kind and tended to your every need. Complementary shuttle to the V&A waterfront was useful. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable.
Richard, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic staff and service
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,
Steve, 9-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Amy Jo, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Well located, secure hotel
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.
Mr S J, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
