My stay at Sugar Hotel was impressive overall. The room was spacious and comfortable, though I did notice the carpet could use some cleaning. The service was a highlight, with friendly staff who always greeted me with smiles. The location was excellent, just a short walk to the V&A Waterfront, making it convenient to explore nearby attractions. However, the breakfast options could use more variety, particularly for vegan choices.

I had a mixed experience at Sugar Hotel. On one hand, the location was perfect, just a short walk from the waterfront and great restaurants. The comfortable bed and lovely breakfast were definite highlights. However, my room was quite small, noisy from traffic, and I faced issues with cleanliness and maintenance. While the staff were friendly, I expected better given the price I paid.
