Loved everything about the place. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The place was clean. The rooftop bar was lovely with a great view. One suggestion would be to have more than just one mug and one coffee cup when the room is able to accommodate two or more guests.

The hotel was amazing. It was modern and luxurious. The room was sparkling clean. The staff was friendly and flawless in their service. My only small issue was the valet parking was understaffed. We called for the car before we even left the room. We checked out at the desk, and we still had to wait for 15 minutes for our car.

Unfortunately, despite paying for and getting an “upgraded” room with river views, the desk looked damaged (old water damage), and the toilet roll holder was broken after the cleaning crew did their regular cleaning. The staff was wonderful, the food and service amazing, and in general the stay was fantastic, but was disappointed to see unappealing details such as the aforementioned ones.

Great hotel in a lovely position just off George Town. Fabulous Spa. If you’re interested in the Watergate story then ask to see the Scandal suite and n arrival.

It is in a good location and it is very clean. They play into the kitch of the scandal, which is fun, and the staff is very helpful and kind. The 70s decor is on brand but they could use new carpeting and furniture in the rooms.

We had a wonderful time at the Watergate. The indoor pool and hot tub were lovely, and the gym was great. The room was clean and very nice. The room service was a bit pricey, but tasty. When we had requests like extra blankets, they were delivered promptly.
