The property overall was nice and the staff were all very kind and helpful. The only minor inconvenience was that the pool was taken over by seagulls and not at all usable or even desirable. But great stay otherwise!

The property was near the V&A Waterfront which was very convenient. It was a 10 minute walk or 3 minute (free (hourly)) shuttle bus ride. The hotel was pretty modern and the rooms were decent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We used the spa and the gym, which were very quiet and more than sufficient. Breakfast was plentiful. Lots of choice and good tasting.

This is our preferred hotel in Cape Town. It never disappoints. The location is perfect—view, proximity to beach, esplanade for walks, a buzzing Sunday market. There’s a shuttle to the Waterfront itself. Parking if you rent a car. I prefer to use Uber if necessary but there is a hotel car service. The staff crown it all. It was wonderful to see some faces and meet new faces—I hope the new stay. It’s what makes the place ‘work.’ You are recognized when you return, even after a long (COVID-era imposed) absence. On a special note: we arrived after the city had experienced a week of transportation disruptions that put pressure on staff. They were impeccable and professional when, in truth, they must have been like everyone else in the city, under considerable strain. This staff would be why we return. The staff were why we began returning, and why we became Radisson fans. Thank you to all the staff at Radisson Blu Waterfront.

The location of this property is superb. I stayed in a 2-bedroom suite on the 2nd floor and the room was beautiful and spacious with everything you need. Very clean, beds were comfy and bathrooms were perfect. My friend stayed in a superior room which was equally lovely. Staff at check in was very friendly and efficient. I had ordered a cheese platter on arrival which was quite enjoyable. reasons why I did not give this property a perfect score: First, we had gone out for the day and when we came back there was water dripping from the ceiling and all over the floor. We noticed this when my 4yr old slipped on the water and fell on her back. We turned lights on and water was just dripping down. Maintenance attended to it (quite quickly I must say). We were told sometimes the aircon gets blocked and it overflows. Water was suctioned from the aircon and we waited for housekeeping to come mop the floor. If maintenance is aware that aircon has issues then it should be serviced and checked regularly so guests don’t come back and find hotel room under water and posing danger to kids. I had booked a second room for my friend and her daughter. When we checked out I was charged for mini bar services which they didn’t use. The hotel (Nandi) promised to contact me and credit me. I have not heard from them 5 days later Restaurant staff is amazing. Breakfast is a big spread and we enjoyed it. Dinner was also good (a la carte). I’ll stay there again hopefully with better experience

Our check in with Ntsiki was a good sign of all the nice things to come. (I do wish we had been offered an upgrade considering we were there for 6/7 nights/days. Our friend was there one night and was given an oceanfront upgraded room. ) Our room was convenient and comfortable and super clean. Everything we needed was provided. The included breakfast is out of this world. From fresh oysters on ice to award winning sparkling wines and cooked to order eggs and bakery goods to rival the best of Europe, this breakfast buffet was amazing. The service provided by manager, Xolie, and her team especially waitstaff Nadia & Bongiwe as well as Thabisa the hostess. Pardon me if I spelled any names wrong. They spoiled us. They remembered what coffee we liked and had the barista make them for us everyday. We enjoyed drinks and snacks on the patio in front of the sea where we could watch dolphins, whales, otters and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets.

What a wonderful place to stay. We felt welcomed right from the start with the airport pick-up. The driver was like our tour guide to the hotel. We were greeted with champagne and snacks as we checked in. The location is perfect location to get to Waterfront and hop on hop off bus line. The breakfast buffet was outstanding. *Only bummer situation was the power went out in our room. It was clear it was a problem that occurred in the morning. We were not informed about the problem. If we knew we would have returned earlier while there was sunlight to pack up. It was quite difficult to do even with using our cellphone flashlight. But on the upside they did upgrade us, which made our last night stay pleasant.

Excellent location and friendly staff. However, the hotel is pretty worn down and in need of fundamental renovation. Bathroom ceiling lamps lacking glass, a broken off bed lamp, and too worn furniture in a drab grey colour scheme across the board. Another thing that reduced my enjoyment of my stay was that the hotel allows large events for breakfast, meaning there is limited space for residential guests. It also means it fast emptied buffet, a very noisy environment instead of a calm morning enjoying the sound of the waves, plus chaotic service. Not to expect from a five star hotel.

Large hotel on the seafront with a lovely view of dolphin pods swimming past as you enjoy a lovely breakfast on the terrace restaurant. The room was good and had a nice view of the sea. The restaurant inside was a bit sluggish. It took ages to eventually get our room. Good location though for the V&A and Cape Point.
