I had a wonderful 5-day stay at Sugar Hotel. the staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly, which made my experience truly enjoyable. The breakfast was good, served from a small but quality menu. The location is perfect, being close to lively areas, though I was disappointed not to be able to use the plunge pool due to the rain. Overall, it was a nice visit with a few minor hiccups.

I had a mixed experience at Sugar Hotel during my stay. While the location was fantastic, just a 15-minute walk from V&A Waterfront, I encountered some issues that diminished my overall satisfaction. The staff were friendly and helpful, which I really appreciated, but there were some disappointing aspects, particularly with the room quality and dining options.

My room was a bit small and had a few cleanliness issues, like dirty sheets upon arrival. The air conditioning also wasn't working well, which made staying comfortable a bit challenging. On a positive note, the room was modern with a cozy Nespresso machine and all the usual amenities.
