Best location for V&A waterfront - we stayed 5 nights. Staff are incredibly welcoming. Nice restaurant/bar and lobby. Hop On/Off bus Stop #2 is right across from the main door. Rooms are clean; lots of space for unpacking. The bathroom is part of the decor/ style of the room, but suggest some shelving for toilettries which could easily be installed under the vanity and one is needed in the shower. The door to the washroom is opaque and has a gap between opaque glass and doorframe, so uncomfortable when travelling with a friend versus a spouse. Loved the coffee maker in the room - like a Nespresso - and plenty of drinking water which was so appreciated. I will recommend this hotel and would defintely stay again."
