  • Wow the amazing service especially from Manfred and Chris. From when I arrived and I was greeted by Manfred, to Chris who made sure that my room was ready (much earlier than expected). This duo worked together throughout to ensure that I had an all-round amazing experience. I wish I had a longer stay. Thank you all for such a special time!

  • We spent 3 days with the Radisson family and it was one of the best stays we’ve ever had, even better than Radisson Blu Champs Elysees Paris. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful and the hourly shuttle was so convenient, we never needed our rental. Hotel is clean, well appointed and situated close to the V&A waterfront. The stay helped make my wife’s 50th birthday celebration all the more memorable. Thanks RB team and well done.

  • Nothing compares to this. Head and shoulders above all. Friendly staff and excellent restaurant service. Only issue is, my colleagues who are not Club members were secured/allocated rooms with ocean view and I the opposite. Nevertheless, the room without ocean view is equally excellent.

  • We only booked for 2 nights but wish we had stayed longer. Fantastic hotel, great location and lovely staff. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a room with a corner balcony and sea view, the room was huge and the view across the waterfront was stunning. The hotel provides a free shuttle to the waterfront and back which was a lovely touch. Food at hotel was lovely, although I would say a little expensive, however just normal hotel inflated prices. we had breakfast overlooking the bay where we could regularly spot dolphins.
