The hotel is about to close in a few days, and it was evident as the hotel feels a little run down with general maintenance such a torn or worn carpets in common areas and the room we stayed in probably needed a fresh coat of paint - other than that - enjoyable stay. Would recommend but it closes in two days

This once lovely hotel has deteriorated to the point of being shabby and grubby I understand it will close its doors as a hotel at the end of September due to redevelopment of the site I have stayed there on a number of occasions simply because of its proximity to the Opera House which is an easy walk away It's a shame to see what was once a delightful and traditional 'old world' hotel decline and be swept away by new development As it is now it is now a 3 star hotel in a desirable location

A rundown era

Definitely a hotel at the end of its life. The whole site is getting demolished and sold off as more apartments, so you get the feeling the whole staff have already mentally 'checked out'. A hotel that's designed for the 80+ age bracket of guests, overpriced parking, and a "whisky" bar that closes by 8:30pm, even on weekends. A relic of another era that I'll be glad when gone.
