A cheerful style sets the mood in the guestrooms and suites, while the waterfront location provides an energetic atmosphere.

Lovely hotel & staff with excellent location for V&A & city
We enjoyed our stay. The location was great to get to V&A - there were sets of stairs to shortcut to the waterfront. The staff were very friendly & helpful. The breakfasts were lovely. The room was a good size. Beds comfortable. All good

After cruise stay
We stayed for a night before heading off to a safari. Really great for those getting off a cruise ship as close to the V&A and cruise terminal that passengers are familiar with. Friendly helpful staff and rooms with international plugs, usb outlets and consumables eg shampoo, tea, coffee etc

Loved this hotel!
The location of this hotel was amazing. Quick backstreet walk to all the shops and restaurants. We enjoyed massages, working out at the gym and day trips to see this beautiful area. There are many choices of restaurants nearby. The staff was so friendly and we loved the service at this hotel!!
