The hotel and the staff were amazing, so cool interior in an old foundry! The room was comfortable and the staff super nice and helpful. The location is very close to the waterfront and easy to access by foot and cab

8/10

Staff were helpful and friendly. Hotel is shared with hot office spaces so different from what you may be used to, but not to the detriment of our stay. Just a little quirky. Good location within walking distance of V&A waterfront although recommended to travel by uber / taxi after dark. Overall a good base for our weeks stay and good value compared to other hotels we had looked at. Lots of security personnel around the area which may make you feel nervous or reassured. We felt quite safe from our experience.

Excellent place to stay as a gateway to the waterfront. Lovely spacious room. Extremely friendly staff. It took us 10 minutes to walk to the waterfront and it was safe.

2-night trip

10/10

Clean and quiet property in old warehouse section close to V&A waterfront area. Not a great view out the front but this place has character and not your average modern hotel layout but shabby chic with a bit of funk. Great breakfasts and Giorgio restaurant downstairs in courtyard for dinner. Reasonably priced for location!

Enjoyed the daily breakfast and walking to the V&A only took 10-15 minutes so very convenient. Hotel was clean and spacious. One thing to mention was you can hear water pipes when showering which did not bother us one bit.

The rooms were nicely decorated but the walls are paper thin we could hear the actual conversation in room 2 next to us. There was a quirky light hanging above the table that we hunted high and low for the switch to turn off only to text the WhatsApp to find it was hiding behind the huge ass tv!

Beautiful New York style loft on the border of the V&A at very good value for money.On site coffee bar was staffed by brilliant and friendly baristas too.Great vibe all around
3-night trip

6/10

I recently stayed at this hotel and it wasn’t what I expected. It felt more like an office with more desks than bedrooms, and the constant sound of keyboards gave it an Apple-sponsored vibe. The lack of a proper restaurant (only a coffee shop) was a letdown, especially for a special occasion like my boyfriend’s 50th birthday, as it wasn’t romantic at all. The location was also a downside, with a homeless camp across the street, and the gates being locked at night caused some confusion with our Uber driver. Our room (Room 2) had thin walls, a weird glass partition separating the bathroom, and no blinds, so we had to use the reception area bathroom for privacy. The lighting was poor, and the apartment across the street made it impossible to open the curtains. On the bright side, the staff were lovely, particularly the friendly receptionist and a fantastic deaf waiter at breakfast. The chai latte I had was also the best I’ve ever tasted. Overall, while the staff were great, the hotel’s lack of privacy, awkward layout, and office-like atmosphere made it feel more like a work trip than a relaxing getaway.

Good location - a 5 to 10min walk to V&A waterfront. Breakfast was top. Housekeeping entered our room even when we had a sign not to.
