The location cannot be beat! Best location for V&A waterfront - we stayed 5 nights. Staff are incredibly welcoming. Nice restaurant/bar and lobby. Hop On/Off bus Stop #2 is right across from the main door. Rooms are clean; lots of space for unpacking. The bathroom is part of the decor/ style of the room, but suggest some shelving for toilettries which could easily be installed under the vanity and one is needed in the shower. The door to the washroom is opaque and has a gap between opaque glass and doorframe, so uncomfortable when travelling with a friend versus a spouse. Loved the coffee maker in the room - like a Nespresso - and plenty of drinking water which was so appreciated. I will recommend this hotel and would defintely stay again.

The restaurant staff at dinner seemed a little disorganised or uninterested. Some just stand and you have to wave to get attention whilst one or two do everything. Hotel itself is great but I’m not sure the whole team really feel committed and proud to work for Radisson. To some it’s a boring “job” !

Great location. Nice room. Friendly staff. Some unexpected and unnecessary penny pinching Only 1 coffee bag provided per night for 2 people. Only 500ml water provided for 3 night stay - additional needed to be paid for.

The Radisson Red is situated in an excellent location, right on the V&A waterfront, so easy access to all the shops and restaurants. Staff was very friendly and breakfast was great. The rooms were clean but very sparce in terms of furnishings - no mirrors in the room and no outlets in the bathroom, so drying hair or prepping to go out was difficult. No luggage racks, shelves for storing travel items, so our bags and clothing were on the floor. Only 1 chair, so 2 guests couldn't sit and enjoy the view. Other than the basic room, the price was great and a nice stay.
