Ideally located for a short walk to the V&A waterfront district. A nice hotel however our room needs some tweaks to make it fully enjoyable. Staff were more than accommodating for an early breakfast.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel was beautifully decorated and very clean. Bed was comfortable and room was very big with sitting area and dining table. Close to V&A area, short Uber trip. Few negatives were tv crooked on wall, no bowls and only1 spoon in the kitchen. Beautiful copper bath but able to see into shower and toilet from sitting area and no way to make private. No hot water in kitchen sink.
