Beautiful old hotel with character, (showing some sighns of wear.) Large airy, well appointed, light filled room. Wonderful, smiling, very helpful staff. The food was great. A short 12-15 min easy walk to The Australian War Memorial. All accessible by wheelchair, and so worth the visit, ➕️ the on off City tour bus pick-up point is on the street, a few steps from the hotel entrance. Only drawback I felt, was that of the ramp access into the building, being too short and extremely steep it is unsafe for a wheelchair. All ramps inside though were very easily accessible, and manoeuvrable.

Excellent traditional style hotel. We had a lovely one night stay. Loved the family loft room - my kids were in a sofa bed and we were in nice big comfy bed upstairs. Bathroom had a bath which was lovely as I always love having a bath. Don’t bother paying for parking as the streets all the way around the hotel are free to park in. It would have been good to know this in advance. We tried calling 6 times in advance but nobody picked up so that’s why we rated service down. They also really struggled to keep up with a busy breakfast on a public holiday morning. Need another coffee machine ideally! Overall a great stay and would recommend it!

We enjoyed our stay. The hotel feels a little tired and in need of renovating but the room was comfortable and clean. We found the king bed, while comfortable, had a noticeable dip in the middle (due to the mattress being on two bed bases put together). Check in experience wasn't awesome with the reception area being over-perfumed by some air freshener. Friendly staff. Clean bedding and towels. Great location - I recommend a walk up Mount Ainsley. Very scenic.
