The TV didn't work initially until I found it was unplugged. There were quite a few mosquitoes in the room and bathroom.

Lovely heritage rooms & feel.A little disappointed the Movies weren’t accessible on our TV & Tahim Terrace was wet but can’t control the weather. Loved Crepe Suzette & location brilliant, so close to all The Rocks & Quay.

Great old property. Professional, helpful and friendly staff. Significntly overpriced for the size of the room. Air conditioning didnt work and the blinds on the windows were faulty. Which id surprising considering the charge.
