Advantages: Great location Disadvantages: Not that family friendly
The Radisson SAS Waterfront was a great hotel situated on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, with views of the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, Robben Island and Table Mountain. The hotel was just on the edge of the town centre. Most hotels are located around the Victoria and Alfred waterfront complex and, as such, have particularly steep prices.

Advantages: Cheap, great location Disadvantages: Thin walls, decor has seen better days
