Being close to V&A and other nice places to hang out was convenient, but the rest of our stay was a bad experience. The lifts and hallways smelled unpleasant, the lifts were sometimes dirty, and dishes could sit out in the corridors for ages, making the smell worse. We first had a room where the shower drain didn’t work properly and water flooded the floor. No one told us about the drain at check-in. They moved us, but the toilet in the next room smelled awful. The housekeeper came to deal with the water and inspect the drain, then used a kitchen knife to poke around in the bathroom. I have no idea what else they do with the kitchen dishes and utensils, so I recommend not using the ones provided. When we raised concerns with three different receptionists, they acted as if it was our fault and seemed irritated. They were rude. SINE was the only friendly person at the front desk; nobody else greeted or helped us. We weren’t told in advance that beach towels weren’t provided, or that we’d have to carry our own bags up the stairs to reception with no assistance. The apartment wasn’t cleaned. Staff came in, took pictures as if they’d cleaned, and left. Our same wet, dirty towels were rolled up and put back on the bed as if they were fresh, and we found hair in the toilet that didn’t belong to either of us. The shower water never got hot. We raised it almost every morning and nothing was done. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Take your money elsewhere and have a better stay. Management will probably reply here with apologies and promises to improve. Please use that time to improve the service, the receptionists’ attitude, and all the other awful things about this place.

The apartment was a good size, clean, and had a lovely balcony, though road noise made it hard to talk outside. Shops, bars, and restaurants are nearby, and it’s about a 10-minute walk to V &A Waterfront. The location is good and the price reasonable. Breakfast was good, but the choices were limited. Sleep was difficult because of noise from the two highways outside and the single-glazed windows. The outside pool was very dirty when we arrived, so we couldn’t use it. The next day they put a pool-cleaning machine in and left it there all week. Our room wasn’t cleaned for three days, and we had to complain on the final day. When there was no water, reception gave me a WhatsApp number to contact. We did, and they asked for the building ID, which we had no way of knowing.

The rooms look beautiful, and the food was decent. Most of the staff seemed a bit dismissive and unfriendly. They charged us extra for bacon on our bagels even though breakfast was included. Trudy and Roxy were excellent, though, very attentive and always smiling.

The room we had was stunning, and the location is beautiful. We had a lovely stay, though there are things that could be better, especially the service and the elevators. My husband booked it for my birthday. We waited half an hour for someone at the front desk to arrive before we could check in. I don’t know if she was at lunch or somewhere else. The email said check-in was between 1 and 2 p.m., but security told us it was at 3, which was confusing. They ask you to upload your ID or passport before arrival, but you still have to show the document again at check-in, which seemed silly. There are only two elevators; one was out of service and the other moved very slowly. The shower water also didn’t get very warm, and I’m not sure why.

We spent a week here, and the space and layout were used really well. The views were great too. But the service and cleanliness need work: we saw cockroaches in the room, and the cleaner didn’t replace our towels. Towels we’d put on the floor were put back for us to use. We also had no hot water for showers.
