Taj Cape Town
The hotel was SPECTACULAR, nothing about this hotel was wrong. It was absolutely fantastic, clean as ever and the bed was the best bed I’ve ever slept on in my life. The bathroom was insane, the spa was also perfect and the staff were spectacular but a special shout out to Nicole from reservations ...

Radisson RED V&A Waterfront, Cape Town
Very hard bed. Sent us to the wrong room the first time. Staff seemed bothered that I insisted on getting what I paid for. Also didn’t receive the free bottle of wine I was supposed to get. I was hoping Radisson only sucked in the U.S. but I guess it’s universal.
