  Special Birthday stay in Cape Town - Review of Hilton Cape Town City Centre
  Special Birthday stay in Cape Town
  I spent my 50th Birthday in Cape Town and stayed 5 nights at the Hilton. I have to say the staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. In particular Paul, The concierge was brilliant and helped us organise all our trips. He really went the extra mile to ensure we got to everything we wanted to do. He even organised a birthday cake!
  The shuttle bus to The Waterfront was really useful as it saved a lot of hassle getting cabs. All the staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We stayed in a suite on the 7th floor and it had every amenity you would need for a family stay.
  The reception area is undergoing an upgrade but it had absolutely no impact on our stay and enjoyment in the hotel. Hope to be able to visit again and if we do we will definitely try and stay with Hilton.More

  Outstanding customer service helps this place shine
  A good hotel option in central Cape Town. The property is laid out ok with a coffee/tea bar in the lobby. Executive Lounge was subpar by Hilton standards. Same with breakfast. That said, the staff in front were amazing. Very cordial, professional and eager to make my stay great. Anxious to come back.

  Dangerous during renovation
  No matter how great the service and the rooms (which are pretty good) in my book a hotel gets a single star if it makes its guests physically unsafe.
  During renovation there is no sign at the entrance that says "Hilton." I've attached a photo of the entrance. When I complained they said there was a Hilton sign around the CORNER but I didn't see it. In fact, my Uber driver dropped me off, with my luggage, near the entrance that HE knew was the entrance, but which was completely unmarked as a Hilton or even as a hotel.
  It is widely known that South Africa is dangerous for tourists, and I got very scared while I was wondering around with my suitcase and backpack when a homeless man kept approaching me and saying something I could not understand. Frantic, I searched and searched for the sign indicating the entrance until I realized that an open door actually was the Hilton, but THERE WAS NO SIGN.
  I'm told the lack of signage is only during renovations, but a hotel that can be this reckless and blasé about guest safety in one area can be the same way in another. There are lots of hotels in Cape Town. Why risk it?

  Dear Mr Benkof,
  We would like to thank you for the time taken to give us feedback, which is highly appreciated.
  The main entrance was closed for one day due to necessary renovations.
  We take pride in the safety and security of our guests at all times, and so we did everything required as per local law and safety regulations to secure and guarantee the safety of our guests.
  I can assure you that we do everything necessary to not only guarantee the safety of our guests, but also to create a great guest experience while staying at our hotel (as you have mentioned in your first phrase of the review).
  We do apologise if it has caused any inconvenience to you and we do hope that you will visit us again in the near future.
  I've read some of the reviews that have been less flattering, but our recent stay was the complete opposite.
  We chose the Hilton as our base for Cape Town after completing a safari in Kruger. The moment we arrived we were warmly greeted and even with extra chocolates for the kids. Our room was ready and had all of the trimmings we've come accustomed to at a Hilton.
  The front desk even called us daily in the evening to make sure we had everything we needed.
  I will be upfront and say we did get an upgrade to a one bedroom suite being a Diamond Member, but I didn't see any difference at the front desk to the housekeeping staff on how they treated all their guests.
  The executive lounge is a little dark, but is slated for renovations as the rest of the hotel is undergoing at the moment.
  We had a great stay and would stay here again!

  No consideration for non muslim patrons
  Location excellent, staff service quite good, facilities quite good. Simple things like not having bacon at breakfast or being able to have an alcoholic beverage with dinner in the restaurant are reasons enough not to return to this hotel. Its a shame that integration in society has gone missing at this Hilton facility and western visitors are dismissed as lesser valued customers due to religious bekiefs. Not even having an option for what are considered normalities in normal hotels of this standard is a shane and detraction from otherwose a fairly good stay.
