My stay at the hotel was an interesting experience. The rooms were fairly small for two people and had an unhygienic old smell, but on the bright side, they were very comfortable. The staff and owner were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the location was superb, right in the heart of everything.

The hotel is located in a very central spot, with clean but small rooms and friendly staff. The location is excellent, but there are some room issues that need fixing and it can get quite hot without proper cooling.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were small but clean, and the bed was comfortable. The curtains needed fixing, and the pillows were not great, giving me a neck ache. The room was stifling hot without central air and only a poor little fan.

Service

9.0

The staff were super friendly and helpful. They even went out of their way to relocate us to another hotel after a tough night, which was a lifesaver.

Location

8.0

The location is excellent and very central. Just note that there is major construction on Albert Street, affecting taxi access. The building's heritage character adds to its charm.

Dining

7.0

The dining was nice, with good deals that included a glass of their beer. I didn't try the food, but it sounded great for a casual bite with good beers.

Facilities

8.0

The hotel had some nice facilities, like a downtown car park and a restaurant with great-looking options. The value for money seemed reasonable overall.
