"This place was terrible. To start, they tried to make me pay again when I already paid online. I had to speak to the owner on the phone who lied to me about it and was extremely rude. I booked two private rooms and they tried to make me share a room with another guest. I refused because I paid more to have my own room.

Would definitely recommend staying at the Radisson Hotel Cape Town Foreshore when visiting Cape Town South Africa!"
