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.
