This is an excellent property located extremely close to the convention center. It is in a safe location. The hotel offers a delicious buffet, which is open unless there is a special event scheduled. The best part is that it is adequately staffed for a proper 24-hour service experience. You should stay here.

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.

It’s standard room (Queen size). It was fluffy towels, the shower was excellent. The downstairs Stella Dining and Bar was wonderful. Particularly enjoyed the salmon appetizer. Unfortunately, the shampoo was missing.
Verified review

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.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed there for a week in one room with 2 adults and 2 kids. Very comfortable room. We had breakfast included and the buffet was endless. Very classy feel throughout the hotel. Short walk to the harbourfront but they also offered hourly shuttles. Location was very convenient for all our tours and just walking around the town. We didn't use the pool - I can comment that it wasn't huge but it seemed adequate. I would definitely stay there again!
