on arrival, my first room on 3rd floor had a serious drip under the aircon conduit. reception were great and moved me to 607. The aircon was noisy and not very controllable. The building steel I bars intrude into the room which aesthetically is interesting, but I did bang my head in the bathroom more than once. 1st time almost knocking myself out.

Very nice stay near the waterfront

We booked this primarily for the location near the waterfront and ability to get Ubers for transportation. The entire staff (front desk, restaurant) were extremely pleasant and totally accommodating. The room was very comfortable. We took an Uber to the V&A mall, and were able to walk back to the hotel when the weather was good.
