We liked the location and ambience of entrance. The room was super hot which was weird because it was cool outside (mid to low 60 degree F). We were there 4 nights and tea wasn't replaced ( 2 teabags for 2 people) and we never had hot water to shower. Didn't clean room on third day when gone from 10-4. The first night we took cool showers because the water never got hot. The next day the hot water was brown and we were advised against using it, but were told at night you have the run the hot water long enough for it to circulate thru the whole building? So the next night when water was less brown we attempted to run hot water. After 25 minutes and no hot water, called down and they said they'd called a plumber. Never offered any solution. Had to beg for compensation. We eventually got 20% off one day and 30% for another day.

This was a fantastic location with an amazing cocktail bar right next door and a beautiful waterfall in the courtyard. The only downside was with the water, the hotel was experiencing issues and there was no hot water.

Great location, historical building, decent sized room. The room itself needs deep cleaning and repair. Stained carpets, a toilet that doesn’t flush unless you try 5-6 times, and it off gases sewer smell continuously. Some bathroom floor tiles are loose, and the AC doesn’t work. - a fan was provided instead. The staff are very nice, but they lost track of which rooms were occupied and gave another guest a key to my room, and they walked in on me in bed. If the room was well maintained, this stay could easily have been excellent due to the location.

Great location with parking validated. AC broken in entire hotel and offered a fan. Paid extra to stay in hotel with AC and didnt get it. Stuffy room with bad sleep isnt what i paid for in the advertisement. Would choose another place based on that alone.

Excellent Stay

We were on holiday from the US and stayed at the Isaacs Hotel for three nights in June 2025. The apartment we had was spacious and well equipped. The staff were friendly and responsive. One memory that will last was that we arrived rather late on the first evening. The restaurant was very full, and also the kitchen was nearing closing time -- but they made room for us and served us a delicious supper!

The room was great and the restaurants were great. Very spacious and tons of closet space. No air conditioning but there was a Dyson fan so it wasn’t terribly hot. It was Friday night and the bars across were loud so we didn’t open the windows. Our room was over the bar and was loud and you could feel the bass through the bed and hear it until quite late. Had I have known, I would have asked for a different room but didn’t know until later bin the evening when we got back to our room.
