The hotel is undergoing much needed renovations so it's hard to say what future travelers will experience but we found the best thing about this place is the location. It is pretty good value for the money, but the location is about all it has going for it right now.

Our room was on the top floor and the staff helped us with our cases. Thank you! It was a great price and location. Close to restaurants. We were able to park on the street in front of the hotel so that was great. Just have to be careful to pay again at 8am.

The building is 100 years old so it shows character. The room was clean and the restaurant/bar was great. Would definitely recommend and will stay here again.

I liked the novelty of two century old accommodation. Kudos to the folks keeping this place running as it makes its glacial way towards the harbour. Great location across from the party street.

This hotel greatly exceeded my expectations. The staff at the front desk were exceptionally friendly, and the bed was remarkably comfortable. The bathroom was also extremely clean and had a good selection of toiletries.

The boutique like hotel is situated in an old building and reminded me of a small European hotel, although the room was more spacious than a European hotel. It does not have A/C but has a window installed fan. Wi-Fi was fast. Hotel entry used a keypad system so we never saw a clerk, just the cleaning people. Loved it!

If you want to be in the center of things, this is the place. Historic property that the rooms inside reflect. While check in is really done virtually, the staff respond quickly.
