The staff at the front counter were so nice and helpful with all our questions. Room was spacious and clean. Just unfortunately the hotel construction across the street was a little noisy but nothing that was terrible and obviously out of their control

We loved the house, a wooden mansion dating back to colonial times, and our room passing down the feeling of times lost (n°2, afcing the reception). Yes, there's construction accross the street, but this is bound to be finished in 2026. The best, though, was the reception we received by both young ladies at the front desk, both extremely nice and helpful. Thanks!

Great Old Building constructed from wood, had a lovely stay over the new year period and was treated to bubbly and party hats for the NY celebrations.
Perfectly situated in St George area and well within walking distance of BZ city and the water Taxi terminal my only gripe was there is a large construction site across the road which was quite noisy especially in the morning, so didn’t get many lie-in’s.
