9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (2 reviews)
"Ledumo ligger ret besværligt at finde i byen Emalahleni og vejene har meget store huller. Hvis man tager den første afkørsel fra N4 er det bedre, men det virker mere naturligt at tage den anden hvor bynavnet står og så er det svært at finde uden gps. De ville også have penge selvom hotel.com havde givet kvittering for betaling. De ville have at man brugte booking.com. Til sidst fandt de dog ud af at værelset var betalt og vi fik et bedre end det først angivne værelse. Det opfatter jeg lidt...

Radisson RED V&A Waterfront, Cape Town

Radisson RED V&A Waterfront, Cape Town

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely perfect location for walking around the waterfront. Surrounded by shops and restaurants. Staff were warm and welcoming. Nothing was too much. Our room was the junior suite with balcony. Had everything we needed and more. Didn’t receive the daily bottle of wine with Expedia perks but no matter. We loved our stay and will definitely stay again."
