the property itself is comprised of 3 edwardian townhomes that have been linked together. Our first night was terrible with a room on the top floor. no curtains, vent pipe from portable air cooler sticking out the bottom of the window. the bed was 2 mattresses of different heights pushed together. We complained and were moved to another room for the rest of our long stay. That room was fine. clean, ventilated with multiple windows and had curtains and shades. The bed was also comfortable. I would suggest asking for a room on the ground or 1st floor and make sure it is renovated.

Perfect for a short weekend break with friends. The location is a little out of the action, but it was lovely and quiet with lots of cute cafes in walking distance and the walk to the centre was not too long. Really great hotel with large rooms.
