We wanted to stay on Victoria Alfred Harbor/waterfront . Expedia gave that as the location for AC Marriott, but it was actually a 20 minute taxi or water taxi away from the waterfront.

These people were so amazing from checkin to checkout. Very genuine and hospitable. They all were attentive to our needs and extended lots of helping hands. The rooms were amazing with an amazing view. Right in the heart of shopping and getting around. They offer complimentary shuttle service to things in the area and a free canal cruise pass. Absolutely amazing breakfast and amazing dinner menu. We hated leaving. The managers were awesome and so where all of out servers. Will stay 100 times again.

If you want a clean, safe, comfortable hotel, book
I was dubious about booking this hotel due to location and previous reviews. I should not have been. The staff are awesome and really friendly, hotel is very clean, you can get anywhere quickly and cheaply by uber. The bed is really comfy, i rarely find hotels i can sleep well in this is one. Im back in Cape Town in a week and im 90% certain im staying here. For what you need a hotel for its perfect. Breakfast is v good. They clean the rooms up until 5pm which is perfect if you are working, or want to hang around your room during the day. The staff make this hotel and i hope the management realise how good they are. Perfectly safe as well in case anyone has any concerns. One tip drink the free bottled water, the bottled water you pay for has a bad smell from it. I thought it was just me but a colleague said the same.

I gave all excellent ratings. My only advice is that the hotel misses the mark on being environmentally active - there is no in-room card to through on the bed to indicate that you do NOT want the linens changed. Secondly, after cleaning the room no matter what time of day they turn on the lights - which means if you come back to the room late in the day the lights have been blazing away all day with nobody there. In this day and age with climate change already here - hotels need to do their part to conserve energy (and many do address this) and reduce CO2 emissions!

In an isolated, portside, safe area.
Virtually new, nice rooms, outstanding breakfast included. Use BOLT rather than Uber for easy access to nearby huge shopping center on the water, or downtown. The hotel isn’t walkable since it is in a tiny pocket development near the convention center with few nearby services, but BOLT is cheap and the hotel wonderful. Friendly, helpful staff.

Front desk staff Ashura is wonderful and help me dealing with an over prize Uber. I requested a Uber on line it cost around 13 US dollars from airport to my hotel. When I got out and was met by two person with a Uber staff tags. They told me the car I ordered would not come into the airport. Before I knew,the guy reached over my phone and canceled my order. They told me to go with their Car since it’s Uber. The price when I arrived came to $80 US. Ashura help me deal with the driver. I ended up playing $20 US.

Nice breakfast buffet and hotel staff was good. The location is "clean" industrial, with train track right out front and shipping docks across the street. I think that the property is a good deal with the included meals.

Not waterfront. Good breakfast.
Hotel is not waterfront. It is very difficult to get around (to/from waterfront) on foot. While geographically close, fences make getting anywhere much more time consuming. Good breakfast, though.
