“The Portswood's history as a former prison adds a compelling layer to its waterfront setting, creating an intriguing contrast. While some rooms might present noise issues, the hotel generally shines with its Cape Malay cuisine and family-friendly atmosphere. I think its location near the V&A Waterfront makes it a solid base for exploring Cape Town.”
