a cozy retreat

attentive staff convenient transport historical charm

I found the staff very attentive and kind. I really appreciated that reception was manned 24 hours. we were able to get to all destinations, but access to public transport was also just two minutes away. the hotel kept its historical charm, and everything was clean!

The hallway had a really bad smell. The hotel seemed aware, as loads of air fresheners were out, but they only masked the underlying odor. it's a once magnificent building, but it is now showing some disrepair.

Dining

Complimentary breakfast snacks were provided each morning in the lobby. They included muesli bars and repacked pastry items. a nice pub and restaurant were located across the street for convenient dining options. this made mornings simpler.

Rooms

I had a ground floor room, a window overlooked an internal garden. the beds were comfy, and the shower was great. Bottled water was complimentary each morning. the room had a gorgeous high ceiling.

Excellent Location and Clean Rooms

city station clean room comfortable bedding

The location is great, close to Haymarket station and the tram. It makes traveling into the city center very easy. The rooms were really clean and the bedding was nice and comfortable. We had plenty of fresh towels provided each day and the hairdryer was very useful.

The lighting in the room could be enhanced. It was a bit dim.

The staff was friendly and assisted with questions.

The bathroom fan did not work in my room so I could only open the window to air out the steam and it was cold outside I found it quite uncomfortable.
