I had the best ever check-in, in my long history of staying in five-star hotels, at the Taj by Zim. She provided a high-level personalised service. Even after I had checked in, she was always trying to provide something extra for me whenever she saw me. She also ensured I also received good service at the restaurant. The hotel in general is good, clean and comfortable. The heated indoor swimming pool is a winner. I really liked it. I had issues with my shower, which was fixed, and the tap in the wash basin which was not dispensing hot water. This was not fully fixed. My only issue was with the provision of Vegan food during dinner. The general understanding of Veganism was limited. The burger is stated to be Vegan in the menu when it is not; it has yoghurt in it. This was day one. After explaining clearly I was Vegan, on day two, I got a soup with cheese in it. When the 'Vegan' meal arrived - it came with yoghurt as a side dish. It was only on day three that everything fell into place. Zim's interventions for me helped. The service staff were very good and always pleasant and supportive. It was a kitchen issue. I sat for almost two hours waiting for two dishes. Fortunately, this did not happen during breakfast as Chef Abdul showed me all the Vegan dishes daily. The Taj has a reputation which precedes itself. When I told locals I was going to stay in The Taj, they always responded with: "That's a very good hotel." It is also well located.

First class all the way! 5 Star hotel that gives a 10 Star experience. Everything was just above and beyond anything I expected or imagined. Every meal was chef’s kiss just superb. Each meal could have been photographed for any well known publication. The professionalism of the entire staff is incomparable. The spa is a pure mic drop. The Taj is an easy commute to all of the attractions, airport, and walkable. They provide a hassle and stress free concierge service to assist with anything you may want to book or experience while in Cape Town. The smiles, the friendliness, the customer service you receive is genuine. This is luxury. An experience I won’t soon forget. Thank you Taj!

Beautiful hotel with fabulous onsite restaurants- we ate at the Bombay Brasserie and the Mint restaurant, both great dining experiences . The lounge bar was comfortable with a Happy Hour from 5 - 7pm daily - fabulous cocktails. Our room was spacious and the bed was comfy - we slept well. All the staff at the hotel were very polite, engaging and helpful. We would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again.
