Hotel Verde Cape Town Airport
Modern airport hotel perfect for an overnight stay. Good facilities and breakfast, friendly staff. Free shuttle every 30 minutes. Almost close enough to the airport to walk with light bags but this is not encouraged for safety reasons

AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront
Staff was judicious, helpful and friendly. It was clean and plenty of little niceties like iced tea in the lobby along with little sweet gelatin bits. (I don’t like them, but the gesture was good). When you asked for something for the room, it was delivered quickly.
