Property is connected to the mall, so everything is right there. Rooms are small but efficient, my room was located directly over the music area, so it was a bit challenging late in the evening. Staff was great!!!

Short stay in Cape Town.
A short two nights stay at the Southern Sun Hotel in central Cape Town at the end of our cruise. Had to wait a long time to be taken to our room so we left our luggage in the hotel store and went to the seafront until late afternoon which was very nice. Had a nice snack in the evening in the lovely hotel bar. Didn’t get much chance to use the pool as it was evening time and quite dark. Would love to visit this hotel again in the future.
