Compare Cheap Hotels in South Africa

most amazing place I’ve ever stayed

We really appreciated the proximity of this hotel to the airport. The free shuttle was a big plus. We arrived at almost midnight due to flight delays and were gratified to see that the bar and kitchen was open until 1 a.m. The morning breakfast buffet was wonderful. Every staff member with whom we interacted was friendly and helpful. A great way to start our time in South Africa!

We enjoyed our stay at The Cabanas.

Airport shuttle runs every 15 minutes

Everything is really good including the price but getting from the arrivals hall to the hotel is difficult. I definitely needed some locals help and when I asked how far to walk, three separate people working there - at different times when I asked - said “Shheewww”. I.e. it’s a fair walk especially with bags etc. All in all, great value for money if you can deal with 500+ metre walk up and and escalators, walkways, around bends, etc..

We absolutely loved our time here! For comparison, earlier we stopped over for one night in Cape Town during our trip and stayed at a supposed luxury hotel directly on the V&A Waterfront. It was awful. We were so glad we had booked a different hotel (The Taj) when we returned to Cape Town the second time, for our final leg of our South Africa trip, a 3 night stay before returning home. Upon entering we already knew it was so much better than the last hotel. Even without comparing, The Taj completely stands on its own in every category: Service: Amazing front desk staff, the bellman’s are so respectful and attentive. The housekeepers and waitstaff were full of smiles. Amazing service and staff. Dining: Wow!! The breakfast blew me away, from the menu to the buffet option, it was fresh, well prepared and delicious! We also ate at their restaurant, Bombay Brasserie, which was delicious! From the chefs tasting bites to the butter chicken, it was great! Spa: Two people in my party got massages (Warrior massages) from different people. One loved their massage and one thought it was okay. Overall, they enjoyed the spa services and would try another service. Overall, we loved our stay so much, we looked up the hotel brand of Taj Hotels and are planning to stay with them when we go to Dubai.
