Room 1 was really comfortable and spacious for a four-night stay. Had everything we needed, loved the bath and stocked mini-bar! Close walk to everywhere we wanted to visit. Great coffee at Elementary around the corner and the central market is just a block away. Staff were so lovely checking us in and answering any questions. Highly recommend!

Great, just a little cold!
Second time here, love the hotel. Room 6 this time though which was cold and hard to warm up with the A/C. Robes and/or extra blankets would be amazing.

Highly recommended - great place to stay!
Excellent large room, recently renovated and very well appointed. Complimentary snacks and drinks from the minibar was a nice bonus. Great central location, just 1 street from the Central Market and 2 blocks from the tram and main street. Had a beer and steak in the pub/restaurant downstairs and they were also excellent. Highly recommended.

Really nice room, king bed and massive bath tub in the luxurious bathroom. The room was quiet, the staff really helpful, and the set up all very convenient. A great update of an old school pub hotel, with a nice bar downstairs.

The room was very comfortable and clean, with nice inclusions like complimentary snacks and drinks. Check in and out was very easy and staff were super friendly. It's easy to walk to anywhere in the city from here. It was very noisy however on Friday and Saturday night outside throughout the night so luckily we brought earbuds and it didn't impact us too much.
