Listed in very small font $250 bond. Not recommended because they shoved it in the listing in between irrelevant material too hide it. Parking is $20??…. For what, if u have a stationwagon your going to get the underneath absolutely shredded no warning beforehand Eather, they just take your money and do not refund you. Room is absolutely average, sleeped on a massive lean all night as the floor is beyond level. Bath/shower doesnt run anything beyond luke warm. Heatpump was terrible, as a heatpump installer that unit needs to go. Beds feel like cardboard, i can carry on all day. Me and my group could not wait to get out of there 5 minutes after arriving into the room. If there was an option for 0/5 stars i would click on it. Make it $20 a night and than you got a worthy place to stay. Worst place ive stayed at yet…….

What a beautiful old hotel! We did have to wait 75 minutes for our room to be ready but we were then upgraded to the mosr spacious room I've ever stayed in. The room was very clean, no issues. There were lots of lovely restaurants near by and we were spoilt for choice. It was a bit noisy overnight with the usual Saturday night sounds of a big city but this is to be expected. Love watching the sunset from the window and all the city lights come on. The parking was good. You are directed down a side street to a very old building. It was a tight fit and luckily we had a small car. Your car is locked in overnight. The lift is very old and can only take a few people at a time which is understandable for its age. Great stay, great location! We will be back.

At least it's cheap!
Our room was incredibly noisy with a bar or something below that sounded like it was in the room. The hot water barely worked – we were told to run the tap in the basin to get the hot in the shower running, but even then it barely lasted long and went stone cold. The rooms itself was ok otherwise, bed was comfortable. The staff were at least helpful and friendly.

The drain peice in the shower was completely broken and grimy and floated out. The showerhead leaked. Even though there were instructions that the parking, which we paid an extra $20 for, would close at 10pm, which meant we had to park out on the street, I feel there should have been card access available. I wouldn't recommend staying there if you have a vehicle.
