This is an interesting hotel. Has a great bar and the restaurant pub food is excellent. It has new bathrooms; is opposite the tram stop. It is refreshingly old compared to a sterile modern hotel but may not be everyones cup of tea. I.e. no wardrobes, ironing board etc.

I wasn't sure about how quiet the room would be given this is pub accommodation and from previous experience, however, I was pleasantly surprised. Although the music was incredibly loud and you could hear in the halls of the accommodation, the room was well insulated from the noise with minimal sound of music coming in. The air conditioning worked well, however, the only downside for me if not being able to access fresh air. All in all, it was great accommodation in a great location, would definitely stay here again.

The property is an old hotel which has been redone quite nicely, over a busy pub. The room was small but nice, with a balcony overlooking a busy street. There was internal painting going on during our stay, which left quite a strong smell in the hallways. We were a bit surprised not to be warned of this when we checked in. Also surprised with the $10 charge to store bags. Otherwise a pleasant stay.

Great place to stay, excellent bar & food. Staff were wonderful & room quiet & comfortable. The only problem was I couldn’t work out the air conditioning which would go off during the night (probably some economy setting that was too techno for my brain! ). All in all a great stay.
