It was bit like stepping back in time, back to honesty and trust. They offer a free drink, if you want more you write down what you had, for eg. No full length mirror. Also no shower cap! Otherwise everything you could want. Very quiet. Nice rooms.

Amazing location in Ponsonby. Easy walking to shops and restaurants. Very quiet location and our car was safe on the street. Room was pleasant and had everything we needed. Unbelievably quiet, only time we heard any of the guests was when our neighbors had a shower in the morning. Would stay again
