Great hotel, location is tricky, though -- looks very close to V&A Waterfront on the map, but effectively walking there will take you ~20 minutes crisscrossing the canals.

Very nice hotel. Very reasonably priced. The breakfast provided was excellent. Lunch and dinner available also a nice bar. Close to V & A waterfront (we used Bolt less then $3 one way) for shopping and dinning.

Great hotel, while a little away from waterfront, free ferry and hotel shuttle, both easy to use. Great breakfast and friendly, helpful staff. We had a corner room, facing lions head, lots of room which we loved. They did try to 'upgrade' us to a suite facing the dock but another customer behind us said don't do it, noisy through night and hard to then move from another room. Good tip from their bad experience for us all!!

This property is listed as a VC Waterfront hotel. However, it is a 15-20 minute walk to the central VC Waterfront district. It's a nice walk, but the gate to the walkway closed at 8:00 pm so be mindful of this when venturing out. Breakfast was nice and convenient.

Nice hotel with tasty restaurant. Get the Madagascar shrimp. Bit of a walk to V and A but easily doable. Not much right next to the hotel but nice view and water taxi stop right out back

While the location looks like it's nearby to attractions, it's actually all fenced off. It becomes a 30 min walk to get to the waterfront. After that 1.5 mile walk, would appreciate water in the lobby. Otherwise, stay was good. Excellent breakfast selection. Decent gym. Rooms spacious and clean. Would stay in the actual waterfront area next time

The AC Mariott was exceptionally clean, the facility was well kept and the staff very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was excellent providing a wide range of food items to choose from. We had dinner one night at the hotel, and the food was excellent. The only drawback was finding the hotel, missed the road a couple of times. Also offering a shuttle to the V&A waterfront more frequently would be helpful.
