A Good Stay Near the Waterfront
modern designeasy accessshower door
I found the food very satisfying, and the staff acted in a friendly manner. The room included a modern design and felt spacious. Its position next to the convention center offered easy access.
The shower lacked a door or enclosure, so water often spilled onto the floor. This created a minor inconvenience after each use and made the bathroom floor slippery.
Location
10/10
The location provided a short walk to the V&A waterfront, requiring just five minutes. The sightseeing bus station benefited from being a two-minute walk, a point in its favour. Uber access also worked very well.
Service
9/10
The staff responded attentively, helping with every need. I requested a late check-out, and it worked perfectly with my flight schedule. This.
