Radisson Collection Hotel, Waterfront Cape Town
Staff were excellent; room was great; location was great because of shuttle to V&A waterfront. My only objection was lunch and dinner menu-limited fairly boring menu. Plan ahead with shuttle timing and eat at V&A waterfront where there are lots of great places to eat.
