Location: The hotel is in the Century City district and not especially close to the down town Cape Town bars, beaches and attractions but is convenient for many of the larger roads so it lends itself well to the business traveller who needs easy access to the Western Cape more than the city break vacationer. Close to the hotel is... More

The location of the hotel is the biggest drawback. They claim that it is conveniently located for either business or pleasure but that is very misleading. It's good only if you have to be there for work at the Century City. There is nothing much to do there. And given the lack of proper public transport, getting to and back... More

I stayed in the hotel on a business trip. The decor is stunning and very modern and my room was beautiful. I do feel that it was designed more with "businessmen" in mind though, as the bathroom fittings were awkwardly high for an avg height woman and there was no mirror with a nearby plug point convenient for doing hair....

The Colosseum Hotel is a great option for anyone wanting to stay within close vicinity to Century City. I have some customers there and I just stayed for the night. The room's are more of a "suite" and it would be a good option for anyone wanting to stay long term as it is sub-divided into a lounge, bedroom and... More

My husband and I booked a room for our 1st wedding anniversary. I emailed reception about a week before our check-in to request that they put just a little something in the room to make it a bit romantic. I had something like a candle or two in mind.

We only stayed one night in an Executive Suite on the fourth floor. The room was really comfortable with a large balcony which currently has an unrestricted view of table mountain.

Great hotel particularly for business travel. It's location in the century city area is perfect. It allows exploration of. Newly developed Century City area of Cape Town. The rooms are stylishly designed, comfortable and clean. I stayed in a studio apartment type of room which was perfect for my visit.
