I was looking for a hotel close to the V&A Waterfront where I could walk to the waterfront and feel safe. This hotel fit the bill and I have to say it felt really safe walking the few blocks to the waterfront even when it was dark. Location wise, it was perfect for me. The front desk staff was also excellent. I dealt with a number of them and they were uniformly helpful, friendly and professional. The hotel also serves up a very good buffet breakfast. Highly recommended.
