My friend and I booked 2 twin rooms. Pros: the room and bathroom were clean, the shower pressure was like a waterfall (so great), the staff was super friendly and helpful. There was a kettle and tea/coffee provisions (but no stir sticks or spoons to stir). My room smelled like cigarette smoke, and front desk staff moved me immediately with no hassle. Cons: the rooms were not at all as advertised. While I felt safe and the room was clean, it didn't provide a comfortable atmosphere. They felt like a half-way house for people leaving prison 😂 They were pretty dark with only one small window. The carpet was shag, a bit threadbare, and didn't seem clean (but I'm pretty sure they were, it's just the type of carpet). The decor was...weird. One single bed pushed against the wall of felted wallpaper. There wasn't enough room for a bedside table so the phone was on the floor. While technically there was a tv, there were only 4 stations (why even bother, then?). The walls were really thin - I could hear my neighbour, quite clearly, sneeze in the night and their alarm go off. The shower had a cheap plastic shower curtain that kept blowing onto me no matter how I positioned my body or the showerhead, so I just showered with the curtain open and the showerhead pointed towards the inner wall. I would not stay here again. I wish I could share photos so you could see the actual rooms we were given.

The staff were all friendly, helpful and happy to chat about the history of the old building. The pricing was very reasonable at $255 for two nights. The room was very spacious. I would certainly stay there again.

Stay away from this place! Not as on pictures - quite dated and poor place Room is dated and not in best condition, bathroom is like from 70ies, when raised it with reception they said it is an oldest room and no other option available. Also had to put drunk teenagers to sleep at midnight as they were noisy. And guess what I got from reception or management- nothing. Avoid this place at all costs.

We had a room on the second floor which has been recently renovated. Apart from the landing area from the lift which is still being finished, the hallway and room was lovely. The bed was a bit lumpy. But our room was great, clean, modern and quiet. Very good value for money, and nice downtown location, easy walk to cafes. Because there is a bar on the street level, there were a few folks about on the street who had clearly over overindulged. But they were harmless. Overall very pleased with our stay and would recommend.

Gorgeous older hotel handy to many amenities. Walking distance to shopping. 3 star property that was better than a lot of other similarly rated properties. Recent refurbishment of rooms. Staff friendly and accomodating. No issue with arranging late check out for us for our day of departure.
