Would give this a miss
Unfortunately the only positive thing about The Commodore is the location. If you like rock hard beds (literally sleeping on the floor would be better) and bad pillows then this is the place for you. The service just wasn’t there for us. Of the 4 nights we were there on three of the days the valet brought out the wrong car for us so we had to wait long periods for our car. It was a plus this was included in our stay but it was never efficient. We had an awful experience at 1.30am with room service knocking on our door to deliver us food. We didn’t order the food and were fast asleep to be woken but them and tell them we didn’t order. After we had finally fallen asleep our phone rang at 2am and it was the room service lady accusing us of lying and saying that we did order room service and why did I send it away. She couldn’t accept that she had made a mistake and recorded the wrong room and ending up hanging up on me. 15 minutes later she called and hung up again. Complaining to the manager the next day, all we received was an apology and that they had a lot of new staff on, it’s not acceptable to be woken at that time and then accused of lying. Do not stay at this hotel, it was an awful experience for us in Cape Town, the only good thing was the location but there are others around.
