Very good location near water front and feels very safe

Great spot at the Waterfront

Terrific location at the V&A Waterfront. Large, comfortable room and an excellent breakfast with lots of options. The staff members were very friendly and helpful.
Beth, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly staff

Very friendly staff overall, great service from the staff at reception, we asked for ice and an entire bucket was delivered to us. I had requested prior to the stay, and was given, a room close to reception, so the hotel is good at listening to requests, Standard room with double bed, small but more than adequate for a one-night stay. Had dinner at the hotel restaurant, which was good, but the restaurant was very quiet, not sure if all clients know it offers more than just breakfast – although the hotel is right by the V&A Waterfront, so there is a wide variety of restaurants available. Only two issues, housekeeping only provided decaffeinated coffee sachets, I’m sure I could have called reception for normal coffee but I just wanted a cup of coffee before I showered, didn’t want to start dealing with reception at that hour of the morning… the shower was not great, it didn’t seem to be balanced – I couldn’t get a consistent water temperature and the water pressure was terrible. The hotel is currently undergoing “soft refurbishment” so hopefully this will include looking the showers.

Ageing hotel, not very clean

The hotel was OK. The can definitely put more effort into cleanliness. There were several strands of hair on the countertop from a pervious guest, the bathrooms are mouldy and the laminates/vinyl floors are old and worn and need to be retired. For the price of the hotel, it does not live up to the expectation.

8/10 Very good

Horrible new trend in bathroom design

There is a new trend in hotel design worldwide which this hotel follows and it needs to stop. Not having proper walls and doors in bathrooms within the room. There is no privacy since the walls are now made of cristal so all the bedroom is illuminated by the bathroom, and the doors don't shot so noise and smell flow into the bedroom effortlessly. There is no way of going into the bathroom and not waking up other people in the room. It's a nightmare when traveling with friends and work colleagues! This room even had the shower separated from the wc, so you have to light boxes in the room!
