Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It’s an old building with charm and character. Well situated to the Octagon and other city tourist sites. Parking on the street. Rooms and beds are small but adequate. Appeared to have a well patronised restaurant. Lovely aromas greeted you at the door. The doors and lift shut earlier than advised.

Room was good apart from the toilet water running all night. The other rooms basin had so many breaks in it it was not safe at all. One website had Free parking, another had parking for $20. When booking the hotel we were told we couldn’t reserve a park yet when we arrived we were told others had reserved carparks and that none were available. Miraculously then we were found one and charged $25 which contradicts other websites. Definitely not the greatest service.

This property definitely feels tired and due for renovation. The soundproofing between rooms and floors isn’t great, and my bathroom had rot in the woodwork around the shower, that looked to have gone under the lino. But the room was big and the bed was comfortable, and the location is excellent - it just needs some time and money spent on it.

Do not stay here. Terrible. Rooms tiny no room for suitcases and people together. Shower was stainless steel made you feel like you are in the morgue. Bathroom full of mould. Owners are Chinese and have not put a cent into renovating this place to make it nice. The only good thing is the location. Would not put anyone in here.

This hotel is looking very tired, I hope that someone goes around with white paint and a paintbrush before the FIFA Womens World Cup to freshen it up or there will be unhappy guests. How about also repricing breakfast to include Tea/coffee?
