I stayed in a very small room with a single bed. It was tiny, but adequate. Very convenient location. The lift wasn’t in operation, but the staff were very happy to help with luggage.

The interior design was lovely, while the room was small the colours used and the way the room had been done up made it feel luxurious for the price. Bed was comfortable, bathrooms were clean, entire hotel had a lovely feel about it.

The Ultimo is currently undergoing huge renovations. They are adding a third floor! This means putting a crane in the lift well, the only place it can go, and the lift is out of action for the entire duration of the building. This is listed as "months" but in all likelihood will be longer. For two people having had knee replacement surgery it was a struggle to climb to the 1st floor. There was no mention of this that I could see on the wotif website when making the booking. The property overall was good, but this let it down - at least as far as I was concerned. (I wonder if anyone will get in touch with regards to this feedback).

Nice room but the elevator is not working while the hotel is undergoing renovations. Had to carry suitcases up multiple flights of stairs. Also, there is no onsite parking as claimed in the Expedia listing. Had to park remotely and walk to the hotel.
