We stayed at the Radisson as the first stop on our honeymoon, having heard so much about the great standard of hotels in Capetown we were a little disappointed. The location & views (if you have sea view room) are great however the hotel seemed more geared to business people than tourists. The staff were very friendly and service was good. The breakfast buffet was excellent, however the dinner menu was just average. I recommend taking the courtesy bus to the V&A Waterfront where there is a great section of restaurants.

We stayed here for five nights to start of our honeymoon in SA. We thought they hotel was lovely, very comfortable and the staff could not do enough for us and were so polite. The view from the terrace is spectacular and it was lovely to lounge there with a few cocktails in the afternoon. The rooms itself is quite small but it has everything you need and is clean and tidy. Our only complaint was when we first checked in we were sent to a room on the first floor. There was a lot of construction going on right under our window and it woke us very early the next morning. However, we requested to be moved to another room due to the noise and this was taken care of straight away and we were moved to a sea view room and didn;t hear another thing for the whole stay. The buffet breakfast is fab and you can have anything you want.Also the shuttle bus to and from the waterfront is a very handy way to get around. All in all a very pleasant stay.

Spent a very nice week here whilst on business. Nothing needs to be added regarding location. It is fantastic. Make sure you spend the extra if you can to obtain a sea or harbour view. Otherwise what's the point. Waves crashing in right outside your window, very relaxing! You get all the benefits of a seafront location without having to be in the middle of V&A waterfont itself (lovely but with a hint of disneyland).

As usual with Radissons the group website offers scant information about your room, so here goes. We booked Exec rooms, which were enormous and more like suites. The bedroom is separated from the main room by a wall, which turns out to be a sliding set of floor-to-ceiling shutters. In the morning, open your shutters and hey presto, a huge living room with sea views and the sun belting in. In the living room, good desk space and a comfy seating area with sofa/table. Big fridge, useful little sink area and Nespresso coffee machine. Sliding glass doors gave onto a very large balcony overlooking the sea, complete with loungers! The bathroom also was very large, with separate bath and shower cubicle although the styling and lighting in the bathroom were suprisingly bland/verging on dowdy.

Service was nice but not 5-star. Almost there, just needs stronger management. A number of straightforward requests to reception were not actioned. In contrast, I asked reception to remove the snacks from my room (too much temptation!), which they did, but emptied out my minibar while they were at it. I explained the error, they apologised, reception promised to re-stock the fridge, but they never did. After a week I gave up asking. Similarly, the Nespresso is great but they only give you 3 capsules, 1 of which is decaff (huh). Some days, housekeeping forgot to replenish, other days I got nothing but decaff. Sounds trivial but if you're going to put a Nespresso in then do it right. And in general, despite the vast number of staff milling around public spaces, we spent more time than we should waving our arms trying to get pot of coffee/a menu/someone to take our order etc. What I would say is that all staff were totally delightful, friendly and smiling which any traveller will tell you is rare and priceless in a hotel.

The bar was bright, lively and good fun, especially for Friday tea-time drinks when the whole of Cape Town seemed to start their weekend here. Food excellent and breakfast especially impressive.

Some other nice touches included free wi-fi (other hotel chains take note) and, in the public lobby, you could squat on a comfy chair and plug your laptop in to a cute array of concealed plug sockets including UK plugs, very thoughtful. Be aware there is no business lounge on the exec floor like you get in most hotels, though there is a small facility in the lobby. Also there is no gym; they bus you up the road to a partner gym.

Concierge and front desk were very helpful. Rustled up taxis on demand in about 30 seconds. I am not quite sure how they did it. Don't even bother trying to book an airport pick-up with them. They agreed to do this, and failed to show, 3 times for 3 different travellers. No great hardship, lots of taxis at CT airport. Reception will also sub you some rand if you're short of cash.

Incidentally don't worry about the stadium construction, it has no impact whatsoever.

Big thumbs up and I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Cape Town.

My wife and I stayed a total of 7 nights at the Radisson SAS Waterfront. We felt we received very good service from the front desk personnel, the concierge, the hotel staff and the restaurant staff. Given the high unemployment in SA, the hotel clearly does not skimp on the number of staff members at all times.

The hotel itself is not that large and so that it has a very nice, livable feel to it. It is literally on the waterfront so the views can be stunning.

We left for three days to visit Joburg. Storage of our bags was efficiently done while we were gone. Pick up at and delivery to the airport was set up as promised (except for one time when the traffic was just awful). On our last day, our plane was not to depart until midnight. We checked out in the morning, stored our luggage, joined a tour for the day, and then the hotel gave us a "freshen up " room in the evening for as long as we needed it.

The shuttle to the V&A Waterfront runs regularly and more often in the evening so for tourists, there is no problem getting to the shopping/restaurant district and back.

A highly recommended hotel.
