Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront is appreciated for its modern style and very clean rooms of decent size. Many guests have enjoyed the excellent breakfast, with its superb choices and quality, including the Shaksuka and beetroot bread. The hotel's location is convenient for accessing the V&A Waterfront, with a canal cruise and water taxi available, though some guests have noted the area around the harbor isn't particularly scenic. Some rooms offer beautiful views of the mountain.

The breakfast buffet featured many options. Fresh fruit choices were varied. Menu items were available and prepared fresh. The check-in desk staff were friendly and chatty.
The location is near the container terminal, so the view isn't picturesque.

The breakfast was fantastic!!! the staff was very helpful. They could not do enough for you. i had a lovely room with two double beds. It featured a beautiful extra large shower. everything was spotlessly clean and the coffee was good.
the rooms are not sound proof. i could hear conversations in the corridors. i also heard showers and toilets in neighboring rooms from inside my room. it was quite close to office buildings. i had to walk all the way round via the westin and the main road to get to that area.

a mixed bag near the waterfront

shipping container view dated decor
the breakfast was decent, i guess, with a menu i could order from.
The view was supposedly of the harbor, but i mostly saw shipping containers. It was hardly ocean view, more like 'industrial park vista'. the staff seemed rather amused when i pointed this out. plus, the room was smaller than i anticipated and felt a bit like stepping back in time with its decor.

mixed feelings about the stay

container noise misleading location
the room was clean and tidy, which i appreciated.
i wasn't thrilled with the location though. the noise from container loading started very early, and it didn't feel like a relaxing vacation.. also, i found that the description of the location was misleading. it has no actual waterfront access.
