The Old Foundry Hotel

The most beautiful room/hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Felt so posh yet comfortable and homey. The staff were helpful and everything was so clean.

Excellent place to stay as a gateway to the waterfront. Lovely spacious room.  Extremely friendly staff. It took us 10 minutes to walk to the waterfront and it was safe.

The young lady at the desk on Feb. 18 was helpful and professional. Your property is different and delightful.

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!

In an old warehouse area, completely renovated and close walk to waterfront. Rooms are clean comfortable large and nicely decorated with stylish old furniture. Bathrooms and showers and modern and great! Not a great view from the front but that’s ok!

Fantastic looking hotel, very original and central to v&a waterfront. Great customer service

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.)

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.

Modern but quaint.  Exceptional service. Comfortable, clean and convenient!

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.

Great hotel and staff Good location , but not great 15 min walk to VandA Told not to do it at night even if only 15mins!Apart from that good hotel The bed in room 2 is horrendous   with the mattress needing changed many years ago. We moved room which was good Good breakfast and parking A few shops just around the corner  and also a15 min walk to City Centre

Good location, nice breakfast, a bit odd layout

What an awesome hotel!

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.

On the first day, we were provided with two single bed joints together. which was disappointing. And the path via the gym to the restaurant needs some order.Well done to the upfront staff (the lady and guy) to sort it out...  very welcoming front staff. The lady who does the cleaning is well done - when we ask for the iron, she always brought it in time and etc. big up to her.

Great Hotel

So good I will probably return. The only thing that failed is there is nothing in the bathroom to leave your things on. Had to use the table in the room instead.
