Radisson Hotel Cape Town Foreshore

Radisson Hotel Cape Town Foreshore

10/10 Excellent
"We were here for 4 nights and it was a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. We did have an issue every day with the A/C not turning on and having an error code. We had maintenance to come almost every day. Besides that, our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. We had a buffet breakfast every day with fresh juices and made to order eggs. One night we ordered dinner , which was Italian and the food was pretty good and cooked to order.Also there’s happy hour buy one get one free every night 4p-6p. We took advantage of that one night. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had such a nice stay. I would highly recommend staying here."
