Unfortunately, a bad experience. Our hotel room was in an unacceptable condition. Various issues including the closet doors, poor AC, drawers coming off, etc, etc. I was told that the hotel was going through remodeling. They offered a refund which they never did after two months of following up with them. Enough said. : (

Tru Blu!

Top notch service all around- front desk, restaurant and house keeping. Employees had team chemistry and it showed. A lot of the reviews which refer to the facilities being dated are unfairly harsh. The hotel is as good as they get in say Europe and has an excelent location close to the beach front and V&A.

House keeping is very lacking in standards! Didn’t clean my room properly leaving used cup on the table, not replacing new bath gel, removing our toothbrushes from the glass leaving them on the vanity top and lastly my nightmare..removing my face wash packet! The hotel manager in charge helped finally bringing me a replacement but it took more than an hour to sort I’m out as there was no housekeeping manager on duty! Having to check on at 5am didn’t help matter and I needed to have an early night!! I was totally aghast by the rubbish Housekeeping standard of service!!

Not bad, but could've been better.

We stayed at Radisson Blu Le Vendrome for our trip down for the Cape Town Cycle Tour. The location was perfect. Unfortunately everything else at the hotel seemed less than perfect. The hotel is old and shows with wall paper peeling in areas. The aircon works at first but then decides to blow at any temperature it decides on. My wife and I were bitten badly by ticks. We did ask for clean sheets on the bed, but continued to get bites each night we slept. The morning breakfast spread was great. Service was even better in the breakfast area, with very attentive service staff. Room service was very slow. The food and drinks that arrived were great, no issues - just a timely process to get room service delivered. Overall it wasn't bad, but could definitely have been better for a premium hotel.

Work in progress

The hotel should be described as a work in progress. Many rooms are generally in need of updating, which appears to be happening, judging by the noise from the top floors. The staff are great, if somewhat down in numbers and the duty manager, Sadeek, went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. In a few years time this hotel should be firing on all cylinders.

Good location. Room with several problems on arrival. Not serviced properly so time wasted to address faults. Have stayed twice before not penny pinching obvious now. Breakfast on day one dreadfully organised so long wait for service but better in subsequent days. New manager just appointed to sort things out, apparently. We'll see

Absolutely Terrible!

This was the most terrible stay I have encountered since I started using Hotels.com. As soon as we arrived at the hotel a man came down complaining about lack of soap and how he had called with no response, we thought that is just an oversight. We proceeded to be checked into the room, initially we were told to go to room 715 which was supposed to be with sea view, but we were told last minute that it was not up to scratch and we were to be taken to room 425 with partial sea views! We agreed to that as we were tired. As soon as we got to the room, we requested a bath waste (stopper) of which they said it’s coming, nothing came the whole night. We proceeded to request that a technician come fix the TV, no one came for our during of stay. We didn’t have a working TV or bath. We asked the cleaning lady to come after 5 minutes and when she came back she was very rude we ended up telling her not to clean. We had to go downstairs multiple times to report this and it seems no one was bothered and this is how they normally operate. Terrible or rather no hospitality at all. Worst stay of my life. Does not deserve to be a 4 star! Should be no more than one star!
