    beautiful parks

    perfect central base for city strolls and parks

    I loved how conveniently situated the hotel is, allowing us to take a few steps to Holy Cross Church and enjoy a leisurely walk through Betjeman Millennium Park just under 5 km away, making it easy to soak in the local beauty and culture. The staff were lovely and very helpful, ensuring our stay was enjoyable and comfortable.

    noisy

    the room was clean and comfy, we enjoyed our stay for one night. the staff were nice and helped us with our taxi to the wedding. breakfast was good too and prepared early for us!

    the room was small n we heard banging doors early in the morning. would be better if they used local taxi firms instead of suggesting others.

    We stayed for a couple of nights and had an amazing time! The staff were super friendly, making us feel right at home. The room was spacious and spotless, and breakfast? Yum! The only hiccup was waiting a bit for dinner—but it was worth it! Loved hanging out in the comfy bar area too.

    Charming decor and excellent service

    I had a delightful stay in a Superior Double Room, where the charming decor and thoughtful touches like easy access for seniors enhanced my experience. The staff were remarkable, providing excellent service and accommodating all my requests. The food was top-notch, especially the homemade sourdough served with the meal. seating in the common areas could be improved to enhance guest comfort further.

    Charming decor, Thoughtful touches, Easy access for seniors

    More signage needed for navigating the premises!!! Maintenance on leaking radiators could improve room quality!!! Consider expanding seating in common areas to accommodate guests more comfortably!!!

    loud doors

    Perfect spot for a chill stay

    Super clean room and friendly staff made our stay really relaxing. They were quick with everything, from food to drinks. Enjoyed chilling outside in the nice garden area. Just a heads up, there were loud doors slamming early in the morn. But the quality of the meals really stood out, especially at the bar/lounge.
