I stayed at Southern Sun The Cullinan for 7 nights, 8 days, attending a conference. The hotel is conveniently located across the street from the Conference Center and is a short, safe walk over. It is also an easy walk to the V&A Waterfront from the hotel. I would take Uber to get to other neighborhoods. The hotel was absolutely lovely. Newly refurbished with comfortable and clean rooms, a lovely bar with friendly staff, where we gathered every night, and a nice spa and beautiful pool. Breakfast was excellent every morning. Ms. Angie at the egg station and Mr. Mike at the piano made every morning extra special. I can't possible give enough compliments about the hotel staff. Every single staff member at the front desk and concierge was friendly, kind and so helpful. They helped connect us with a reliable driver at the last minute when we wanted to go out exploring the peninsula. The only inconsistency I experienced was with housekeeping. My room was always cleaned on time and cleaned well, but every day, something was forgotten. One day face towels were not replenished, another day the water bottles were not replaced, etc. But it wasn't enough to affect my overall experience. I would just call downstairs and ask for what I needed. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Cape Town.

The staff at the Cullinan was excellent. From house cleaning, to the excellent chef, to the great bus drive..Kayah and Freddie were awesome and so many of the waiters had exactly what I wanted to drink each morning. Thanks for a memorable stay. I felt like I was leaving my family. The Wattley family Dexter,Vanessa and kids.

Great place to stay. Not much to complain about. Can do without the hotel manager nagging about a $3 dollar tourism levy which can be settled at anytime.

Fabulous hotel! Staff are warm & welcoming as well as accommodating any requests. Hotel overall is very good. Rooms do show a little tiredness in places however, a renovation is planned for this winter. Hotel facilities are excellent. Well equipped gym & amazing spa. Well worth grabbing a massage there! Pool towels and SPF provided which is a nice touch. Full range offered for breakfast, whatever your thing is! Self service with eggs cooked to order by the chefs. Hotel bar & café offers great selection of meals as well as drinks. Free shuttle to V&A waterfront but you can also easily walk there within 10 minutes. Fabulous stay, can throughly recommend & will stay again.

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.

Fantastic staff and service
Stopped at this hotel for 10 nights with the family. Facilities were great and all the staff were fabulous. They could not have been more helpful. The bar and restaurant was a good standard and very reasonably priced. The rooms were spotless but a little tired although the hotel is about to undergo a major refurb,

The hotel was fine. It was clean, staff was nice and friendly. Had never been to South Africa so it wasn't in an area that I expected it to be after seeing the pictures online. But all was fine.

Beautiful hotel. We stayed here prior to and after a cruise. The hotel offers a shuttle service to and from the airport. They also shuttled us to the docks to board the ship. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet (included) and the food service outside by the pool. Delicious food in beautiful surroundings. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Great location to be close to the ocean and the docks. The staff were very polite and accommodating.
