I had a lovely stay at this hotel, as it's conveniently located right by the V&A Waterfront, making it easy to explore attractions and great restaurants. The rooms are spacious and luxurious, though I kind of wished mine had a balcony. The staff provided incredible service, going above and beyond, but there were minor hiccups like having to carry my luggage to the car. Overall, it felt like a great value for the money with only a few areas needing improvement.
