The hotel is conveniently located about a 10-minute walk from the Bay Area, which is great for shopping and dining. It's also easily accessible from the airport.
The essential amenities are well-equipped.
Being next to Burger King is handy for a quick snack.
There's a supermarket within a few minutes' walk, which is good for buying groceries and drinks. However, they only sell wine, making it difficult to find beer.
The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety and high quality, making it something to look forward to every morning.
The shower setup and drainage are poor; the floor gets soaked after every use, which is a problem.
The hotel is 4 stars, but there's no coffee machine, slippers, or robes in the room. It's in need of renovation in some areas. It would be fine if the price weren't so high. 20,000 rubles a night (for the cheapest room with a road view) is very expensive, in my opinion.
There are no shops or cafes near the hotel (except for the restaurants on site). Getting anywhere requires a taxi (but it's not a problem, the prices are quite reasonable). There's a huge shopping mall nearby.
The breakfasts at the hotel were decent. The hotel also has two swimming pools: one on the ground floor with views of the ocean and Cape Town, and another on the rooftop.
We've stayed in 6/7 hotels and apartments in Cape Town and other towns before, and all of them had welcome drinks (some juice, some wine), some fruit or sweets, and all had coffee machines, but this hotel had none of that.
Another downside is that the whitewash/plaster is peeling off right above the bed. It's not pleasant.
HAVN Apartstay Hotel provided a comfortable and practical base during our Cape Town stay. The location was highly convenient, allowing easy access to major attractions such as Table Mountain and the Waterfront. The apartment-style layout suited our family well, offering sufficient space for luggage, children, and downtime. The room was larger than expected and exceeded our initial expectations in comfort. While there was a slight lingering smoke smell upon arrival, airing out the room improved the environment. Staff were helpful and accommodating, especially when allowing us to store luggage prior to check-in. The overall experience balanced independence with hotel-style convenience. It was especially helpful during a busy sightseeing phase of the trip. HAVN offered a reliable, well-located option for families seeking flexibility and space in Cape Town.
The hotel staff were so helpful and friendly. It felt safe with the fingerprint and face recognition. The location is convenient and secured.
The room was clean and spacious, esp for the cost. It is worth it.
Great views from the room and rooftop!
Highly recommend. Will definitely stay there again if ever Iโm re visiting Cape Town. ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
We visited the hotel in January 2026. We loved everything, the studio room with a balcony was absolutely top-notch! ๐ฅ
The location is convenient, and there's parking available.
The only downside was that the washing machine in our room wasn't working, and we constantly had to ask for access to a laundry room, which was a bit annoying. Also, a rather unpleasant incident was being charged 350 for a stained sheet. This was purely accidental due to unavoidable feminine circumstances...
It was an okay stay. I wanted a double bed but they gave me 2 single beds put together, which was a little awkward to sleep in. Not the biggest fan of rooms that have carpets because itโs easy to get dirty and leaves a little smell. Room had a bathtub and a showers atleast. It was an okay stay. Can get a lil noisy with the traffic downstairs.
A good business hotel, really more of a 4 than a 3, they clean well, everything is quite new, the room is small, but for two it is quite normal, the location is very good, close to all locations, somewhere you can walk, somewhere you can order a taxi, taxis are inexpensive around the city. It is a 25-minute walk to the Waterfront. Standard breakfasts, but quite enough in the morning. The staff is good, friendly, we have never had any problems. The only thing that bothered us a little was the location of the night club, under the windows, pounding all night almost every day and until the morning, we had to close the window and turn on the air conditioner. Perhaps this is the only minus of this hotel, but there are rooms on the other side, we ended up not changing. A very good option in terms of price / quality!
Location is good.
There is shuttle to Waterfront.
Workers are so polite,helpfull
Pretty clean hotel
Breakfast is nice
There is conselor near the reception

The environment and equipment are very good, but the service attitude is very blunt, the degree of professionalism is not high, and I am not satisfied with the service
Disappointing โ Not the Taj Experience I Expected
I stayed one night at Taj Cape Town and, having stayed, worked, and studied at other Taj properties worldwide, I left feeling that this hotel does not deliver the signature โTajโ experience.
Location: Excellent โ centrally located and convenient for business and sightseeing.
Rooms: Very good. The guest room was well-appointed, comfortable, and met the standard I expect from a five-star property. No complaints on accommodations.
Food & Beverage: Below expectations for a Taj. The breakfast buffet was serviceable but average โ acceptable for a quick meal, but nothing memorable in terms of variety, presentation, or quality. The on-site Asian restaurant is extremely small (about five tables) and suffers from poor ventilation: the exhaust does not appear to function adequately, so the space quickly fills with an oily cooking smell that lingers and detracts from the dining experience. The food itself was below the quality I would expect from a Taj-branded restaurant.
Service & Brand Feel: This is where the hotel most noticeably misses the mark. While staff were professional, the overall atmosphere lacked the warm, polished service and attention to detail that distinguishes other Taj properties I have experienced. It felt more like a standard city hotel operating under the Taj name rather than a hotel delivering the full Taj brand promise.
Value: Concerning. The hotel charges approximately INR 2,000 per day for parking โ a steep add-on that should be clearly communicated up front and factored into the overall value proposition.
Summary: The location and rooms are strong points, but the average breakfast, a small and poorly ventilated Asian restaurant, and an overall absence of the characteristic Taj hospitality leave this property short of expectations. If you are seeking the classic Taj experience, this particular hotel may not meet that standard.
