The hotel backs up to an alley and McDonalds where our room was located. I didn’t like the smell from McDonalds. Bed was very comfortable. Water in shower was hard to regulate. Hot and cold. The location for walking, restaurants and shopping could not have been better. I would stay again but ask for a room facing the river.

Amazing Location
Had a little difficulty finding the main entrance. Room was perfect, facing the river. Super quiet. Little weird having the glass shower in the room but we got over it pretty quickly. The staff were exceptional. Aircon had a few issues, but got it working after a few attempts. The breakfast is fantastic, all the pastries were amazing. Lots of choices.

This location is wonderful and the staff was excellent. The property is so small that it lacks some amenities but it’s a trade off to the location and the special feel of the hotel.
