I like the fact that the hotel is very accessible to tram. Just across the street. But the shower room smells musty. Carpet is old and dirty.

While the room was tiny, the property was a great home base to explore the city. We were able to easily walk or tram to most anywhere we wanted to go. The room was clean, staff was friendly, and we had a nice stay. The shower is very small which meant the bathroom got wet while bathing, but that was a small inconvenience for a great, affordable hotel.

.

The hotel staff were lovely and accommodating, even letting us check in early. The room whilst only for two of us was very small. You could not sit on the toilet without having to lean a significant amount to not be blocked by the sink next to you. Additionally, the toilet had a leaking problem where the floor became soaked no matter how much we tried to dry it out. Most of all, the slanting mattress was the biggest issue. The double bed we had was in fact two singles pushed together with a double mattress topper. The single mattresses constantly, regardless of effort to keep together, constantly came apart making sleeping very uncomfortable and back aching. Other than these inconveniences the stay was lovely and we had a great time.

Very comfy and quiet

Lovely stay in lower floor room. Quiet, just far enough out of the city to be really peaceful. Super comfy bed and quilt. Friendly and attentive staff
