Great location, but slightly aged rooms
private spaceexcellent locationcoffee stationhelpful staff
My daughter enjoyed having her own private space since the room included two rooms. I found the location excellent because it allows me short walks to the Waterfront. The breakfast offered specialty coffees and an omelet station. Staff also gave me a voucher for free entry to the Diamond Museum and a map.
I saw limits with what can be done since the hotel has been transformed from prison to hotel. The rooms looked slightly tired and there was only one power outlet located at the work table.
