My stay at Fountains Hotel was mixed. I appreciated the cleanliness and some of the friendly staff, though the facilities and overall room quality left a lot to be desired. The food was decent, especially breakfast, but organizing services was a bit chaotic at times.
My stay at Fountains Hotel was quite a mixed bag. While the location near the V&A Waterfront is excellent for exploring, the service left a lot to be desired. The room I had was clean and spacious, but there were persistent issues like poor WiFi and unresponsive staff when I needed assistance. Overall, there were some positives, but the negatives really overshadowed the experience.
My stay at Fountains Hotel was quite the mixed bag. On one hand, I enjoyed the spacious apartment room with a lovely balcony overlooking St Georges path. but on the other hand, there were some service hiccups that dampened the experience. The breakfast was solid and included a nice variety, yet there were moments when the dining could have been improved. Overall, it was a decent stay, but some inconsistencies could be addressed.
My stay at the Fountains Hotel was quite disappointing. While I received a warm welcome from the receptionist and had a pleasant interaction with the staff, the hotel didn't live up to its advertised standards. The rooms were far from what I expected, lacking basic amenities like hot water, and the overall maintenance left much to be desired. Service was inconsistent, with some staff being friendly while others seemed overwhelmed. I doubt I would recommend this hotel based on my experience.
