Poor experience
The room was hot, no matter what we did with the air con. There was very little lighting in the room. The corner near the window was pitch black. There should have at least been a lamp there. The room was dirty. No battery case on the tv remote. And the electrics went completely off during the night so our phones didn’t charge and we had to have showers in the dark. Breakfast was cold and no option for eggs other than scrambled. This was a shared birthday night away and we were not comfortable. Glad to get home. Place has gone downhill.

The hotel is beautiful, with grand halls and a large dining room. Breakfast was great, and each room is very unique and comfortable. Walking distance to mermaid quay is a great bonus! Staff are also very friendly.

Beautiful building and room. We did have a slight problem with the hot water in our room. This was immediately investigated by the really helpful receptionist, and as it could not be resolved straight away, we were offered an alternate room (which was even lovelier than our first). Great location for all the restaurants in the bay and for the Millennium Centre. If you like older style, historical buildings, this is a great choice. We will visit again.

Myself and my sons thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Room was unique and the jacuzzi bath was an amazing addition. We ate at the restaurant which was stunning. Best food ive eaten in a long time with beautiful surroundings. Very helpful and friendly staff. Cant wait to stay again.
Beautiful furniture. Imperfections but that's what makes it special
Pristine bedding. The biggest headboard ❤️
Stunning reception area. Really comfy and welcoming
Unreal settings whilst eating

There were 3 fans in the room because they knew the aircon wasn’t working, couldn’t open the window because there was no safety for the children despite it being a family room and it felt like the heating was on full blast - very uncomfortable night’s sleep.
