Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The location was excellent, making it convenient for both leisure and business travelers. However, the dining experience was just average, and there were some noise issues in the room.
The hotel's rooms were pretty average and didn't quite justify the high rate per night. They lacked X2 double beds and felt a bit standard and small. Unfortunately, they were not soundproofed, which impacted the overall stay. On the plus side, the service was incredibly helpful, especially with that late-night pizza order, and the staff were all super friendly and accommodating. The location was fantastic, within walking distance of the Marina, the Harbour, and the waterfront, offering a safe and convenient base to explore from. The dining experience was a bit overpriced for what it offered, but some good options were available. Overall, the facilities were decent, catering to essential needs.
The hotel is centrally located with easy access to major attractions. The rooms, although a bit delayed in service due to nearby construction, are standard and comfortable. The service is exceptionally professional, but some staff members may need more training. The location is perfect for exploring the city and attending events. The dining options are varied, and the facilities offer a good range of services.
The hotel offers clean, spacious, and airy rooms that are comfortable for a good night's rest, though lacking the promised patio. The service, while generally accommodating and friendly, could benefit from a touch more friendliness. The location is ideal for access to various activities and dining options. The dining experience is generally excellent but can be overpriced at times. Overall, the facilities are well-equipped to ensure a pleasant stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although clean and comfortable, lacked soundproofing, making it easy to hear noises from neighboring rooms. The hotel is conveniently located just a short walk from the Waterfront area, offering a nice view and easy access to activities. The service was friendly and helpful, though some staff could have been a bit friendlier. The dining options were good, but there could have been more variety. Overall, it's a decent choice if you're looking for a budget-friendly stay with a great location.
After a long 10-hour journey, my stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The lack of a refrigerator in the room was a minor inconvenience, but the peaceful atmosphere due to the soundproof rooms made up for it. The distance from the reception to my room was quite a trek.
I had a comfy stay at the hotel, although the rooms lacked a shampoo bar and a balcony as described. The overall experience was pleasant, with friendly service and non-dairy options available without extra charges. The location was convenient, near the V&A Waterfront with plenty of dining options, but I was a bit disappointed by the dining prices. The facilities were decent, with no major issues to report.
