Great three- night stay

The reception staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. The location was perfect for exploring Cape Town and was safe. The only downside is that rooms that face Table Mountain are noisy at night as they are on a busy street and the window soundproofing is not good.

Our stay at The Capitol Mirage was great. The room was big & had a lot of things we didn't even know came with the room. There was a full kitchen & a washer & dryer, that really came in handy, a nice balcony too. Uber pick up is great for right outside the hotel. Table Mountain is only a 10-15 minute Uber ride from here, the Marina area is close by too. It's walking distance, but is an easy taxi ride as well. Basically, the hotel is very centrally located. Breakfast on the roof is a great way to start your day & the views are nice too. We ate at the Cattle Baron restaurant in the hotel & the food was exceptional. We had a table outside & it was a great way to end our trip. When we come back to Cape Town we'll be staying here again!!

Light-filled, hipster-chic, apartment hotel with high ceilings and stunning panoramic views from the rooftop restaurant. Ideal for short or long stays with a full kitchen and in-room washer and dryer. It's my home-away-from-home in Cape Town.

The staff is very accomodating and friendly and making you feeling welcome and “home”. Everybody will feel like a valued guest here! And they have the best roof top restaurant in town with the most amazing view. Just push the button in the elevator and you’ll be there….

Great location, great breakfast

We stayed five nights and this was an amazing experience. The breakfast has a mix of buffet options as well as hot plates you can put in an order for. Very healthy and varied foods to choose from. Room service did our laundry and hung it on a rack. The following day they had folded our clothes and neatly stacked them on the sofa. There are many things to do in the area and the buzzing V&A Waterfront is only around 20 minutes (on a slow and enjoyable walk) from the hotel. The staff was very sweet. The TV did not offer many channels, which was fine with us since we do not watch it that much especially on vacation but this could be slightly improved for those who would like to watch local TV stations. Totally recommend staying there.
