Clean and quiet property in old warehouse section close to V&A waterfront area. Not a great view out the front but this place has character and not your average modern hotel layout but shabby chic with a bit of funk. Great breakfasts and Giorgio restaurant downstairs in courtyard for dinner. Reasonably priced for location!

I recently stayed at this hotel and it wasn’t what I expected. It felt more like an office with more desks than bedrooms, and the constant sound of keyboards gave it an Apple-sponsored vibe. The lack of a proper restaurant (only a coffee shop) was a letdown, especially for a special occasion like my boyfriend’s 50th birthday, as it wasn’t romantic at all. The location was also a downside, with a homeless camp across the street, and the gates being locked at night caused some confusion with our Uber driver. Our room (Room 2) had thin walls, a weird glass partition separating the bathroom, and no blinds, so we had to use the reception area bathroom for privacy. The lighting was poor, and the apartment across the street made it impossible to open the curtains. On the bright side, the staff were lovely, particularly the friendly receptionist and a fantastic deaf waiter at breakfast. The chai latte I had was also the best I’ve ever tasted. Overall, while the staff were great, the hotel’s lack of privacy, awkward layout, and office-like atmosphere made it feel more like a work trip than a relaxing getaway.

The rooms were nicely decorated but the walls are paper thin we could hear the actual conversation in room 2 next to us. There was a quirky light hanging above the table that we hunted high and low for the switch to turn off only to text the WhatsApp to find it was hiding behind the huge ass tv!

Enjoyed the daily breakfast and walking to the V&A only took 10-15 minutes so very convenient. Hotel was clean and spacious. One thing to mention was you can hear water pipes when showering which did not bother us one bit.

What an awesome hotel!
This place was quite the pleasant surprise! Nestled just on the edge of the wharf district, the Old Foundry hotel was clean and welcoming with just a touch of a modern, yet 1930’s feel. The rooms were spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable and the walk-in rain shower was amazing. But the best part of this hotel is the staff and the cafe. The staff waited on us hand and foot, and even remembered our breakfast orders from the previous days. Anything we needed and they were on top of it immediately. As for the cafe, the food was incredible. We were especially fans of the French toast and the BLT, both of which were probably the best we’ve ever had. You won’t regret picking the place. A quick 10 minute walk to the water front, or about $4 USD Uber ride.

I love the atmosphere of this place! I felt extremely inside the hotel, however bc of homeless people outside the perimeter we weren’t allowed to walk anywhere, which is the case for most of the city. Too bad since it’s only a 5 min walk to waterfront but Uber was easy and cheap. The food at the bar was fantastic and all the staff were very accommodating and pleasant. The water heater/pump is very loud. Overall this is a great place and I would return back.

Good location, nice breakfast, a bit odd layout
This hotel is in a nice location, close to the V&A Waterfront but also not far from downtown. The hotel has a very eccentric layout; there are floors, half-floors, quarter-floors etc. with steps between them. Also, the rooms are a bit eccentric: there is no room light switch near the bed, only by the door. The breakfast is not buffet-style; you pick one main dish and one beverage. The breakfast quality is quite good. There's a busy atmosphere, with people working on their laptops everywhere. A disadvantage was that my room faced onto a very busy one-lane street, where activity ended after midnight and started (garbage collection and deliveries) very early the next morning. For security reasons, the front of the hotel is barricaded from late evening to morning, so you have to enter from the street behind and go through an office building. (My morning departing Uber was confused.)

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
We came for our honeymoon and had an amazing time. We expected the “presidential” room to be much better than it was. The floors have horrible water damage and you have to leave the windows open at night to escape the smell of mold. The property did not have all of the amenities it listed, such as the golf. And you had to ask for new towels if you wanted them. The staff was nice and it was a 15 min walk to the v and a. Just hoped this would be a nice facility than it was.

We booked this hotel as it looked like a lovely place to stay but very quickly it was apparent it was lacking. Our shower in our room leaked all over the floor due to there being no sealant. It was clear this was an ongoing issue as the wooden floor outside was all puckered and nailed down. Staff were not overly helpful about it. There were cockroaches in the room, including on the kitchen surfaces. What they don’t tell you when booking is this hotel is next to a busy road and underneath it is a homeless camp which you have to walk past to enter the hotel before 7pm. After 7pm this entrance is closed and you have to walk through a multi-storey car park to enter the hotel. This hotel is clearly all design and no substance, very little care or helpfulness from the staff.
