“Perfect Escape”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

I stayed here with my partner for 2 nights. It was just what we needed and we hope to visit again. We stayed in the King Loft Suite.
What we loved about @VDL
-spacious room, kitchen facilities, lovely hospitality, gorgeous bathroom products, towels and robe, really comfortable bed, ideal location, peaceful
Our only issue was that there is a bit of noise through the floor from the room above when the people up there are walking around.
It cannot be said enough that David and his team have done an exceptional job with the design and decoration of this place, it is just divine, as is the service that you will receive from dinner recommendations to turndown service with chocolates.

Room Tip: The King Loft has more space and more light as it has several large windows.

“Retreat from the Rat race”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2011

My husband and I needed to get away from it all and we certainly achieved this goal in a very positive way at Stanley and by staying @VDL. We stayed in the King Loft Suite as we wanted kitchen facilities. Lots of little touches made our stay just lovely. Despite wild weather it was quite a bit of fun to stay in such an old building. We were always comfy. Location is perfect as you can walk almost everywhere. The only small criticism we had was no hanging space. Otherwise, an ideal couples retreat from the rat race.

Room Tip: On a really windy night (gale force winds) I believe our room was quieter than the upper rooms where...

“Excellent, relaxing and revitalising!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

My husband and I were looking for a night to excape reality and we found it. A gorgeous property in Stanley with lovely views over the ocean and Stanley Nut. The setting was ideal for a getaway. The serene envirnoment coupled with gorgeous and unique decor just are magic to the soul. From the simple choices in lovely soaps, fittings, an espresso machine, the towels were just gorgeous to use. all these simple things made the stay just that so much more special than your average accomodation. They reception staff were so friendly and welcoming giving us great advice on where to eat. Splendid service coupled with a great setting and the simple yet elegant touches made this a 11/10 stay! Well done. Will definetly recommend!!!

“Hipe but not more”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2011

people found this review helpful

The room is spacious and very nice, very convenient (plasma TV, nespresso, DVD player) and well decorated. The bathroom needs to be improved : the shower is not convenient with the rocks on the floor. David is very nice and cool with a great welcome with chocolates. To conclude the Moby dick bar offers great breakfasts. This is definitely the place to be in Stanley.

“Lovely Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2011

people found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed in the Base Queen Suite and it was modern, roomy and comfortable. The bath was very deep and the bathroom floor heated. The room had very comfortable furniture. A small area to make a cup of tea or coffee. We ate at the Hotel Stanley and the meals were reasonably priced and lovely. We had breakfast at Moby Dicks only a short walk from the Base. The staff were incredible, the food fantastic and cheap.The view from our room was amazing. There are only two rooms at the Base and it is very private. Highly recommended.

Room Tip: Book on Wotif
