I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is perfectly situated in the lovely de Waterkant area, close to the Waterfront and main attractions. The rooms were spacious and equipped with all the necessities, plus a fantastic terrace that offered great views. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, though the dining experience could use some improvement. Overall, it was a great value for money and I really enjoyed my time here.

This hotel boasts a great location that's close to everything, making it convenient for exploring the area. The rooms are modern and spacious, providing a comfortable stay. The staff is friendly and attentive, but I found the dining options to be somewhat lacking, especially breakfast. Overall, it's a solid choice, but it could improve in the dining department.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The location was fantastic-so close to the Waterfront and other attractions. My room was clean and comfortable, plus I enjoyed the beautiful terrace view. The staff were friendly, but the dining experience wasn't quite what I expected. The breakfast options were limited, so that was a bit of a letdown. Overall, it offers great value for money, just a couple of areas could use some improvement.

I had a nice stay at this hotel, which was very clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful, making my visit all the more enjoyable. The location is fantastic; it's easy to walk to many attractions and nearby restaurants. However, I found the breakfast options a bit lacking, which was disappointing given the overall experience. The amenities were good, but the Wi-Fi wasn't free, which felt like a drawback.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which features comfortable rooms and welcoming staff. The location is perfect, placing you right in the heart of the city with easy access to shops and restaurants. However, the dining options could be improved, and the Wi-Fi should definitely be complimentary. Overall, a great experience, but a few tweaks could elevate it further.
