Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Central location can be busy — Being in the heart of the V&A Waterfront means high foot traffic, which might be noisy for some guests despite soundproofed rooms.
- Limited room categories — The hotel offers a relatively small selection of room types, with most featuring a king-size bed, which may not suit all group configurations.
- Paid airport shuttle — The airport shuttle is not complimentary, so guests needing transport will have to budget for an additional cost.
- Pets allowed but may incur extra fees — While pets are allowed, pet amenities are listed, which might indicate additional charges.
