We had a shaky start to our vacation due to missing luggage, a very late check-in, and the rooms we booked not being available. However, Ricardo and Alan went above and beyond to make sure our luggage was picked up and we had great rooms! Love them! Would definitely stay here again!

We picked this hotel due to location to the Waterfront - it was a good choice just 5 mins walk from the Waterfront. Hotel breakfast was good - staff professional. Rooms a bit tired and could do with a refurb.

incredibly old hotel room - the carpeting definitely needs changing, there was only 1 usable power outlet, the shower drained very slowly and the AC unit made ruckus. the breakfast buffet was good, it's located next to lots of restaurants and the staff was friendly and polite.

The Commodore has an Old World elegance. Our room was large enough (not spacious but generous) and it was immaculate. The staff members were lovely - helpful and personable. There is a very nice door/outdoor restaurant where the food was delicious and the service excellent. Location wise - it’s about a long city block to the V & A shopping area which offers anything you need in n a safe atmosphere. We enjoyed out stay very much.
