Great location and nice room for a weekend stay. Was a bit worried about the noise level before arriving, but was super quiet on the top floor - no issues.

We loved the building, the location, the restaurant/bar, and the staff. We stayed in room 17 and it needs wall and window repairs done, and hanging rails in the bathroom. When it was windy (and it was very windy over several days and nights), there was a very loud vibrating sound coming from outside that was annoying and kept us awake.

Beautiful building. Great bars and food. Bed very comfortable. Live music. Don’t expect to get to sleep early on a Friday or Saturday night. Great if you like to party. Sunday night, great Jazz downstairs and nice and quiet after 9pm.

This property needs to be a bit more professional For instance the light did not work in bathroom and it was generally shabby. Had a nice veranda though.

I loved the character of this beautiful old building I stayed in room 19 The bathroom was very spacious i liked how there were 3 separate cubicles for toilet, bathtub and shower Tvs and fans in both rooms was great as were the microwave,toaster,fridge and tea/ coffee making facilities Two separate rooms was a great option for my family I realise it might not be an option but i think it would be good if you could install a lift for the accommodation We checked in got ourselves organised and went off to a show on the way down i actually had a bad fall at the bottom of the staircase where the carpet changes near the hall stand I would love to be a guest in that room one day in the future but although the staircase is beautiful i couldnt manage walking up and down it again Otherwise we had an enjoyable stay

The bed in our room was extremely comfortable. The hotel is in a very handy location and we were able to walk to where we needed to go. What we didn't like was how dark the room was - very poor lighting, especially in the bathroom.
