This is one of the most unique hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The hotel is part of a larger complex that has repurposed an old foundry into an ultra modern compound. Very cool space.

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.

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.

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.
