All the amenities you would expect from a large hotel. Good sized room, excellent bar although meal in restaurant was disappointing. Excellent buffet breakfast. Friendly and efficient staff, especially Loulou.

Uniquely located on the glittering azure waterfront of Cape Town, the hotel has the majesty of the legendary Table Mountain soaring behind it and every shopping and eatery delight beside it. It’s also a heartbeat away from Cape Town’s pulsing business centre, an easy stroll (or complimentary shuttle) to the famous Victoria & Alfred Waterfront with its myriad of world-class shops, restaurants, cinemas and colourful working harbour, or a short hop to Africa’s most beautiful beaches and the call of our lush and ancient winelands beyond. The state-of-the-art Cape Town International Convention Centre is a mere 5 minutes away.The Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront provides the finest service, setting and comfort making your stay always one to remember and certainly one to repeat.

Very Warm Welcome, Impressive Facility

Reviewed By luca b

Thanks to Dorothy! She is a very competent Front Office Manager. She gave us a very warm welcome. It was great. Also Thanks to Theo, he is a super concierge and always helped us! The architecture of the hotel is impressive. You feel like you're in a different time. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are large, many rooms face the garden. The price level for overnight stays is very high. You pay much more for a sea view room. The food in the hotel is very good and inexpensive. The hotel is quiet and very centrally located. Great view (lighthouse!). Unfortunately the beach was closed due to the flooding in the area of Durban a month ago. The curry dishes are highly recommended.

Great hotel with a great view and friendly staff

Reviewed By luca b

Patience France made our arrival very nice. She gave us a warm welcome. The rooms are impressive, the building is a bit winding and rather older. The pool is also heated in winter, which is very nice. The bar with terrace is especially great at sunset. The hotel is a little out of the way. The prices in the hotel are affordable. The spa is too small. I would have expected more from the breakfast.

POD Camps Bay Boutique Hotel

Cool beyond question is POD Camps Bay. A true Africa original realised in a stunning set of decor elements, POD is both raw yet polished. See naked Africa design timber dropping into stone, shifting into glass, imbuing a sense of seaside sophistication so often attempted but so rarely achieved. 17 modern suites and rooms share the spoils of idyllic mountain and ocean views. Primely located a mere 50 meters from the silky sands of the famous Camps Bay beachfront with its trendy restaurants and bars. POD Camps Bay offers a luxurious 5 star boutique hotel experience. It is little wonder that POD appears on the Condé Nast Hot List 2011, and finds its place among Tatler's 101 Best Hotels in the World.

A hotel to must stay in Cape Town

Reviewed By Regina B

We love Pod Camps Bay. Excellent location....with a breathtaking view of the sunset and on the other side a sunrise with the table mountain in the background. Excellent service from all staff. We had a room upgrade for the most wonderful view from the hotel. We arrive at the sunset and take a glass of white wine in our room with a superb view. A scene to never forget! Beautiful room, super modern....top amenities. The hotel's decor is beautiful, and full of artwork. We even bought a sculpture that was on display at the hotel. Wonderful breakfast, with a stunning view. It is on Camps Bay beach. Super nice place in Cape Town. I recommend staying in this area.... a beautiful place, with super high spirits and the hotel is worth the value. When back in Cape Town, I will definitely stay at the Pod again. Thanks for the excellent stay.
