Ideally located for a short walk to the V&A waterfront district. A nice hotel however our room needs some tweaks to make it fully enjoyable. Staff were more than accommodating for an early breakfast.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel was beautifully decorated and very clean. Bed was comfortable and room was very big with sitting area and dining table. Close to V&A area, short Uber trip. Few negatives were tv crooked on wall, no bowls and only1 spoon in the kitchen. Beautiful copper bath but able to see into shower and toilet from sitting area and no way to make private. No hot water in kitchen sink.

The staff were incredible and honestly made me feel so welcome. Considering the price, i was a little disappointed, the room had a really bad smell and there was mould growing in the bathroom (particularly on the ceiling and around extractor fan) which was concerning. The location is awesome! Overall a lovely property but the room may need a little TLC.

Eclectic industrial with friendly staff

Hotel has industrial and unique interior design. Don’t expect flash. Do expect wonderfully friendly staff and eclectic feel. We were scammed by the airport taxi so be aware to get a taxi taxi. Not people who say they are. The receptionist staff were very helpful with this towards our credit card. Especially Azola. Breakfast was great too. Thank you.

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 love the repurposing of old buildings, and The Old Foundry has done this with great practical and aesthetic execution. The room was small, but we knew this when we booked. It had all the amenities we needed, including Africology products in the bathroom. The breakfast was excellent and the staff friendly, helpful and responsive to every need.

I loved The Foundry Hotel! My husband and decided to have a little mini-holiday and love the decor and space. Sadly, a flood in the middle of the night, meant we had to change rooms at 1 am (suitcases open, etc etc). The staff was great about it (and the night receptionist gave us a nice bottle of white wine to say thank you for our understanding), but I haven't heard anything from management about compensating us in any way (although I did ask).

Good location/value for money

Staff were helpful and friendly. Hotel is shared with hot office spaces so different from what you may be used to, but not to the detriment of our stay. Just a little quirky. Good location within walking distance of V&A waterfront although recommended to travel by uber / taxi after dark. Overall a good base for our weeks stay and good value compared to other hotels we had looked at. Lots of security personnel around the area which may make you feel nervous or reassured. We felt quite safe from our experience.
