Radisson Blu Le Vendome Hotel

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.

Had too sleep in a so called king size bed which was just two beds pushed together leaving an uncomfortable space.

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.

Not good

Good location. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Hotel is currently being refurbished which it needs. Shuttle bus on the hour into waterfront. Great location if you like walks along the seafront. Beds extremely comfortable. Housekeeping very good.

Had a lovely stay. Management however need to do something about the seagulls nesting on top of the portico and outside our room.....become really noisy and are disturbing.

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!

lovely hotel in the very safe sea point area of cape town wonderful staff throughout the hotel good wifi spacious room only downside being the hotel interior is a bit dated but everything else is spot on..

Hotel not up to usual standard of RadBlu. Tired and old, needs a revamp. Also rooms very dirty because of old carpets etc. No control of seagulls who nest on roofs and window ledges making excessive noise. Use of balcony limited also. Check in says 2pm on Hotels.com, on arrival told it was wrong and is 3pm. Had to sit around for 1 hour wasting time.

The communal areas of the hotel are great but my room was outdated with a broken wardrobe and cracked window. Service was OK. Great location in Sea Point and nice breakfast however.
