The Manor House at the Queen Victoria Hotel by Newmark

We stayed at this hotel for a few nights during our trip around south Africa, there were only 4 rooms in the building we were in, they were exceptionally spacious with a fantastic bathroom and views up to Table Mountain. The hotel is literally a 2 minute walk around the corner where you have breakfast and there is a wonderful bar area with a balcony looking at the waterfront and the mountain. There was a small outdoor pool with a few loungers and a gym. We did not eat in the restaurant although the food looked good. This was a unusual boutique hotel in a great location minutes from the waterfront and bars/restaurants. The staff couldn't have been nicer, more friendly or courteous. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend of return if we come back to Capetown.

We had a wonderful room in the Manor House which is just set aside from the main Queen Victoria hotel. It was enormous and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is a very short walk into the centre of the Waterfront development. This is a major destination in Cape Town full of bars restaurants and shops. It is not quaint little streets or anything like that bit it is a majorly successful development attracting thousands of visitors each day. The hotel is far enough away to feel you have got away from the crowds but close enough to feel you are only a few minutes walk away. Pick up points for various tours are nearby.

We stayed 5 nights at the Manor House at the Queen Victoria Hotel.. The room is large and very clean, staff is friendly, and the location can not be beat. It is literally across the street from the V&A Waterfront. We ate breakfast at the Queen Victoria Hotel for 4 days and at the Victoria and Alfred Hotel, their sister hotel, on the other. Carol, our server at the QV, is so energetic and remembered our orders and preferences. Nothing I requested was a bother. Service from her was impeccable. There was a security guard outside at nights when we returned to the room from the V&A Waterfront. The waterfront also had security guards presence everywhere. We felt very safe during our stay at the Manor House. If you book City Sightseeing tours or the Hop On Hop Off bus, their main location is about 1.5 blocks away. Very convenient.

We stayed at The Manor House for our last night in So. Africa. It was the perfect place to unwind after touring for three weeks. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We give it our very highest rating.

Excellent location, great views of Table Mountain. Cannot fault. Only negative was an expectation of a tip for the breakfast that was included in the hotel rate !

Excellent staff. The team couldn’t have been more welcoming and pleasant. Went out of their way to help always. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Very comfortable room in a nice waterfront location. The staff was great and the service exceptional. We were in Cape Town for four nights and we stayed at the Manor House the first night, leaving open where we would stay on our last night. We liked it so much that we decided to come back as it felt like home. Only complaint was limited hot water as it seems like the 4 rooms in the Manor House share the same small boiler.

5 stars. Staff, food service, location, ambience, value all excellent.

We stayed in a Junior Mountain-Facing suite at the Manor House (room 1401). The view of Table Mountain was exquisite and the room was comfortably large and well appointed. The bathroom is luxurious, with Victorian bath, large shower, His and Hers basins, towel warming rack and separate, closed off water closet area. The bedroom has a beautiful mountain view, and the bathroom looks onto the car park area. On arrival, I asked for a suite on the 1st floor (the Manor has has a ground and first floor), but unfortunately all rooms were occupied. Try get a room on the first floor if you can. My brother stayed in the Queen Victoria Hotel onto which the Manor House is attached. His room was R2000 cheaper than ours per night, and he said he would have happily paid the extra R2000 for the additional space afforded by the Junior Suite. Something to consider if you are wondering. Overall I loved the hotel. It has that distinctly boutique feel with service to match. I don't think it's a hotel suited to small children though, simply because it's quiet and subdued with a serene atmosphere, so I am glad the kids weren't with us this time. The hotel is within a short walking distance to the V&A Waterfront shopping complex and precinct. Very central. It's in a busy location, but the rooms were sufficiently sound-proofed, & the noise never bothered me, I am only sorry I didn't have the opportunity to use the Spa services - our visit was way too rushed.
