My stay at the One & Only was absolutely incredible! The rooms were spacious and offered breathtaking views of Table Mountain, making it a true luxury experience. The exceptional service from the staff, especially at breakfast and concierge, made me feel pampered throughout my visit. While I loved the overall ambiance, I'd recommend being aware of the construction noise and bringing mosquito repellent for a more comfortable night. Overall, it's a fantastic getaway worth every penny!

My stay at One & Only Cape Town was truly an exceptional experience. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the vibrant waterfront with beautiful views of Table Mountain. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, though some areas inside felt a bit dated. The dining options were fantastic, especially the breakfast, but there were a couple of minor issues with the service by the pool on busy weekends. Overall, it's definitely a great family-friendly choice, though a few improvements would take it to the next level.

The One & Only in Cape Town offers an excellent stay with spacious rooms and stunning views of Table Mountain. The service is top-notch, making you feel welcome and appreciated. While the dining options are plentiful and enjoyable, the pool area can get busy, and it lacks a children’s section, making it less ideal for families with young kids.
