As the other reviewer said, this is clearly not the same hotel that 'Disgruntled of Glasgow' stayed in. Le Vendome is beautiful; the rooms are great, well sized, the staff are exceptional and the food fine. This is NOT a boring, standard chain hotel - it is a chic boutique hotel that fully deserves its five stars.
The staff are absolutely fantastic, and, it must be said, very attractive (take a bow, Mishke!).I have rarely been looked after so well, and it will be my pleasure to stay at this lovely piece of Paris in Cape Town every time I'm here. Thanks to one and all.

Just to say that we have stayed at this Hotel for 1 week and have never had such good service from everyone in the hotel - from cleaners all the way up to the owner. Food was excellent, rooms and hotel immaculate. What made the holiday was the staff - always at hand, offering good advice and never too busy to 'go the extra mile' for us. This hotel is highly recommended and we would definitely rate it a 5* hotel offering 7* service. We would certainly return - but next time certainly for longer than a week!! Thankyou to everyone at the hotel for such a great holiday!!

After reading some of the other recent reviews I cannot believe that we are talking of the same hotel. Surely people cannot blame a hotel when the tour operator moves accommodation??!! I found that Hotel Le Vendome is a very professional, well run, fantastically managed hotel. The warmth and luxury of the hotel is evident once you walk through the door. Nothing is too much trouble, the service and attention to detail from the junior staff upwards to the owner of the hotel is exceptional. The food is magical, the ambiance is superb and I for one cannot wait to return here, be it for business or for pleasure. HOTEL LE VENDOME IS THE BEST HOTEL I HAVE EVER, EVER STAYED IN!!

We stayed at Le-Vendome because our other accomadation was cancelled at the last minute, the pool was more like a plunge pool, not enough seating, the rooms were clean but a lot of rooms had no balconys, the evening meals, there were no variation and food left uncovered for to long, although the staff was very friendly, beach about 50 meteres away not recomended for sunbathing, but the promenade was lovely, hotel not catered for long stay holiday makers, more of a stopover
