10/10 Excellent

Very clean and modern, reception were exceptionally nice and caring
Archie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staffs! All great and attentive! I can’t wait to be back
REBECCA, 7-night trip

6/10 Okay

The staff were incredible and honestly made me feel so welcome. Considering the price, i was a little disappointed, the room had a really bad smell and there was mould growing in the bathroom (particularly on the ceiling and around extractor fan) which was concerning. The location is awesome! Overall a lovely property but the room may need a little TLC.
Estee, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It was a great place to explore the city from.
Edwin, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

I liked the overall vibe of the hotel.
Kristina, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is one of the most unique hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The hotel is part of a larger complex that has repurposed an old foundry into an ultra modern compound. Very cool space.
Daniel, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

I loved The Foundry Hotel! My husband and decided to have a little mini-holiday and love the decor and space. Sadly, a flood in the middle of the night, meant we had to change rooms at 1 am (suitcases open, etc etc). The staff was great about it (and the night receptionist gave us a nice bottle of white wine to say thank you for our understanding), but I haven't heard anything from management about compensating us in any way (although I did ask).
Eva, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

I like that it was cute and near the sea front
Syeda, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The most beautiful room/hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Felt so posh yet comfortable and homey. The staff were helpful and everything was so clean.
Prerna, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Wanted to love it but

Looks like it might be on its way to being a very cool hotel but so
JOSEPH, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

I love the repurposing of old buildings, and The Old Foundry has done this with great practical and aesthetic execution. The room was small, but we knew this when we booked. It had all the amenities we needed, including Africology products in the bathroom. The breakfast was excellent and the staff friendly, helpful and responsive to every need.
Karen, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Its a pretty dark hotel
Teck Meng Wilson, 3-night trip

Fantastic looking hotel, very original and central to v&a waterfront. Great customer service
Michael, 2-night trip

The young lady at the desk on Feb. 18 was helpful and professional. Your property is different and delightful.

Andrew, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
Rodney, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

So good I will probably return. The only thing that failed is there is nothing in the bathroom to leave your things on. Had to use the table in the room instead.
Erik, 4-night trip

4/10 Poor

The staff at check out where great. Yet they had me up stairs after confirming with them for 3 months that I will not be set up in a room that required me to climb steps. They change me to another room but the room was not what I thought I was going to have at the end. The bathroom was small and I had to crawl to the shower since it was not accessible. It was a hard stay for me.
Ruth, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Joel, 9-night trip

8/10 Good

Great hotel and staff Good location , but not great 15 min walk to VandA Told not to do it at night even if only 15mins! Apart from that good hotel The bed in room 2 is horrendous with the mattress needing changed many years ago. We moved room which was good Good breakfast and parking A few shops just around the corner and also a15 min walk to City Centre
Stephen, 10-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Melene, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Modern but quaint. Exceptional service. Comfortable, clean and convenient!
