It’s clean and looks nice
9 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026
It has a modern and different look. It is a bit industrial and I loved the repurposed antique furniture. Unfortunately we had to leave before breakfast, so I cannot comment on that. I loved the showerhead.
Nothing I can think of for now.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2026
The hotel is very cool and is in a great location, we could easily walk to the Waterfront mall. Our first room was comfortable, it was very dark so I slept well. The breakfast was amazing.
The shower didn’t drain and the bathroom door handle didn’t work. I notified the receptionist when we left on the 2nd morning at 07h00. We got home at about 21h30 and went straight to bed. I was woken up by a very loud knocking at the door after 23h00 but ignored it, I thought another guest was accidentally knocked on the wrong door. In the morning, I saw I had a missed call from a CT number and there was a WhatsApp at from the hotel sent after 23h00 saying that they hadn’t been able to fix the shower, they wanted to know if we were back yet and would we mind changing rooms. At 23h00. Keeping in mind that we had woken up at 06h00, my son was in the shower (and ended up flooring the bathroom). Whist waiting for the bathroom, a member of staff just let themselves into our room. Not impressed, I spoke to the receptionist and they thanked me for my understanding. I did not understand. They informed me that they would need me to move rooms. The room I had booked was a twin, I am traveling with my son and didn’t want to share a bed with him. The room that they moved us to was a double and had a clear glass “window” into the bathroom from the room. Not amazing! There was also a lot of light from around the door from the corridor which meant that we didn’t sleep well at all. So what had started as a fantastic stay became a farce.
