Hotel location is perfect for the proximity to the V&A and harbor. The hotel itself is rather plain and rooms small. It’s hugely overpriced.

Never Again!!! Avoid Radisson RED V&A Waterfront!

One of our international guests was booked for an additional night, which we confirmed during check-in four days ago. However, after my departure, an attempt was made to charge him nearly double the rate for his final night. This constitutes dishonest and unethical business practices, as well as poor customer service.

The room is very small. No space for two open suitcases. Bathroom akward with swinging door that stops at toilet. Lots of hot water. I dont like restaurants with a set price regardless of whether you want buffet or a la carte. Distance to wharf is longer than we expected. Absolutely no view.
