“Queen Victoria Hotel presents a curious blend; its prime location near the V&A Waterfront is a definite draw, as is the attentive staff, yet some rooms show signs of wear that detract from the overall luxury, from flickering chandeliers to grout issues. I believe a little refurbishment could easily elevate this already charming boutique hotel back to its full, deserved glory.”
