The hotel's design impressed me. The decor felt homey. The location suited my needs since it was central, close to the v and a. Panashe, a staff member, was friendly and informative..
Our room was not similar to the photos. It seemed dark. There were also BUGS. The room safe was broken.

Fantastic Stay!

delicious brunchfriendly teamhelpful staff
I really appreciated the friendly team from arrival to departure. Brunch was delicious!!! The location is very convenient. The staff, especially Kelvin, helped with our luggage and directions to the Waterfront. He even provided takeaway coffee!
The area immediately outside isn't the best but it's fine after a short walk.
