What guests loved the most

“The bed and pillows was extremely comfortable, room was warm and cozy. The shortbread cookies and comp water a fantastic little touch. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to my late check out request. Breakfast had a variety of eats and pastries and waffles very tasty. Location ideal-just down the stairs and you are at the heart of the waterfront. Overall a great hotel to stay at. And..The view of the sunrise from my bedroom window that Saturday morning was wow..”

“This is just what a hotel is supposed to function like, like clockwork. From the time we checked in to the time we checked out, we were treated like important people. Location was convenient to access the waterfront and the jazz festival. Shout out to the shuttle driver (Rasta) who took us to the jazz festival, gave my sister an inspiring talk on life and how to overcome challenges....!”

“The bar area was very comfortable and always available with friendly and responsive staff. The breakfast selection was very good. Unfortunately, on our last day two of our party experienced the effects of food poisoning which I can only attribute to something we at at breakfast the day of our check out.”

, Hong Kong

“The bed was very comfortable and the hotel is a few hundred metres away from the Victoria and Alfred waterfront area with all the bars and shops that go with it. The reception staff were very helpful.”
