  Radisson Red V&A - super

  This place has the most amazing , friendly and enthusiastic staff I have ever seen. Service with a smile that’s genuine and warm. Do take pics at sunset at the rooftop bar. Rooms are very clean & nice. the location is just fantastic- you are in the V&A so no areas of commuting or security. Strangely though in the rooms they don’t keep sugar and creamer or replace the empty water bottles/pack. Not a big one but that’s the only service oddity I found.

  Worst hotel in V&A for relaxation

  If you want to relax and enjoy the sun do not book here. So what they don’t tell you before you book is that the pool area is with ‘reservation’ so when you book the day before they’ll send an email stating would you like to reserve a table. This means if you are a 2 you are sat at a table with two chairs, no comfy loungers or sofas. Usually these things are first come first serve but apparently not here. The waitresses at the pool area were downright rude and were not accommodating at all. Radisson you need to up your game when there are so many good hotels nearby.

  Excellent location with great and friendly staff. Stay was pleasant and will certainly visit again. Need to get a few Halaal options at the hotel but thankfully there are a number of Halaal places at the nearby Waterfront.

  Fun, Friendly, and Fantastic Value at Radisson RED Cape Town

  Radisson RED Cape Town, V&A Waterfront — Terrific from start to finish. The fun begins the moment you walk into this cheerful red hotel. You’re invited to spin a wheel with surprise prizes, and I ended up winning a fantastic dinner during my stay. Radisson VIP members receive a bag of playful treats, and for those who aren’t VIPs, there’s no need to worry—the reception area is stocked with complimentary candy, popcorn, fresh fruit, and drinks for everyone. The rooms are bright, filled with natural light, and feel fresh, modern, and comfortable. The hotel’s cheeky red theme carries throughout the property and adds to the upbeat atmosphere. Breakfast is excellent—I especially loved the jam dispensers, which keep everything clean and mess-free. The location is outstanding, right next door to the modern art museum and just a minute’s walk to the wharf. The hotel is very reasonably priced and represents exceptional value. I would happily stay here again.

  Absolutely amazing!!!

  This was a really nice stay. I arrived earlier than the check-in time, and they were able to hold my bags. They even gave me a ticket to use when retrieving them at check-in, so I didn’t have to worry about my bags being given to someone else, especially since my valuables were inside. The room was clean, and they have blackout blinds, which meant I could nap during the day. It was also very quiet. The breakfast was delicious. On one of the days, I sat outside in the sun because I was cold inside the previous day. I think I had been sitting under an air vent or something. I was the only person outside, and one of the staff members, Xolelwa, came back multiple times to check if I was okay and if I needed anything. I truly appreciated that. The hotel is also within walking distance of the mall and restaurants. I even walked there at night and felt no fear as a woman, as there is security everywhere. 5/5.
