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.

The staff at check out where great. Yet they had me up stairs after confirming with them for 3 months that I will not be set up in a room that required me to climb steps. They change me to another room but the room was not what I thought I was going to have at the end. The bathroom was small and I had to crawl to the shower since it was not accessible. It was a hard stay for me.

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.

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.

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!

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!
