Mandela Rhodes Place Hotel

Loved the spacious rooms for a family trip. It is also excellent in terms of location. Breakfast and dinner spots downstairs and a healthy supermarket with everything under the sun opposite the front doors. Parking is available but would have been great if the room key worked to open the boom instead of needing the guards to open and close the gate. It is relatively safe but did feel hesitant to walk around late at night in this location. Lots of tourist attractions nearby!

We had a 2 bed apartment. Very spacious. Facilities are clean and sufficient. Staff are helpful and friendly.

Had a great stay in Cape Town and the hotel had a really good quality. Excellent rooms. But the area did not work for me.

My family had a amazing time .

Overall we had a great stay at Mandela Rhodes. The rooms are spacious and come equipped with everything we needed. Service was great, and the room was always clean. We did, however, find the bed to be very, very uncomfortable and very small. For reference, I’m 5’7 and my feet were hanging off the bed the whole time. Also, we had several issues with the shower and sink leaking. These problems were fixed quickly, but it was uncomfortable spending 6 nights in a wet bathroom.

Upon arriving at Mandela Rhodes Place, we notice that the lobby looked more like an office building lobby than a hotel and were a bit worried about our choice. Those worries were quickly put to rest upon entering our room. The room was more of an apartment than a hotel room, which was perfect for the three of us. Some wanted to stretch out and relax while others needed to work. There were two large bedrooms with comfortable beds along with two and a half baths. Each bedroom had a tv and there was a large tv in the living room. The bathrooms were plenty large with good water pressure in the showers. There was a well-appointed kitchen ~ even a washer. There was a kitchen bar and a conference table dining/work table. The living room was large and had a wonderful view of the mountain. There was even a nice balcony with a table and chairs, though the weather was a bit cold for that. The hotel is located within a very short walk to many attractions and restaurants. And the City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off bus is just minutes away. It is not the very comfortable room or excellent location that put Mandela Rhodes so high on our list - it was the staff. They knew we were on a celebratory trip and provided us with delightful welcoming treats. Anything we asked for or needed, they were right there ~ going above and beyond. We could not be more thankful for the kindness, consideration, and thoughtfulness of all of the staff. For us this is the only place to stay in Cape Town

Thanks to hotels.com, the room was upgraded to a two bedroom apartment with a fully equipped kitchen. Room for four people. The hotel's location is central with numerous restaurants and supermarkets in easy walking distance.

The immediate area was ok but would have appreciated knowing which roads were safe and which were not. I had my phone stolen by a pick pocket in Long street which is just around te corner and quite notorious for this, which we later found out is general knowledge locally. Then on the third day money was taken from our room. We counted some money out for the evening meal and went to the pool for 40 minutes. When we returned the money was gone. After a lengthy investigation by management and police which revealed the cleaner and maintainance man had both been in the room during that time we were told we should have put all valuables in the safe as the many notices around the hotel indicates. So no money returned ! If going to Cape Town I would advise being at the waterfront or at one of the beach areas. But be on your guard anyway.

Amazing staff and amenities. Truly world class service and experience! Highly recommended for couples or families!
