We had a great stay. Very convenient, comfortable, clean. The only odd thing was that the smell in the public spaces as a little off. Either the cleaning solution was a bit too harsh or there was something with a chemical scent.

Very friendly welcome and excellent service throughout my stay. The building is older, with character, so don't expect soulless corporate style.

I stayed for 3 nights in quite a spacious room. Very high ceilings and large old windows. My room featured a large and comfortable bed, good sized bathroom and good heating. It was clean, had good water pressure and it was quiet at night. I had breakfast 2 out of 3 mornings at the hotel. It’s continental only. But actually reasonably priced. Cereals, tea, coffee, fruit, yogurts and more. Very friendly staff, also very funny. The location is great. There’s plenty of restaurants nearby, a huge park nearby too. Just a short bus ride into the CBD. Pleasant area too, nice old houses down the road too, made a nice walk. I had a comfortable stay and was very pleased. 👍

Good value accommodation

Pleased overall with our stay. Ensuite was rather 'tight' but plenty of hot water and toiletries. Large double bed was a bit too soft for us. Overall well situated with easy access to the city with an excellent bus service. A big bonus was the free parking.
