Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers rooms with better conditions than others, with access from outside and comfortable beds. The top bedroom provides a cozy stay. However, the service could be improved, especially compared to the older receptionists. The location is in a good area close to the V&A Waterfront, offering a safe environment. The dining experience includes cereal and fruit, with some Italian selections. The facilities are convenient for a comfortable stay.
