    Pros +

    • The receptionist was incredible-friendly and informative and so charming!
    • Beautifully appointed, off street car park, great location walking distance to restaurants. Beautiful room with lovely fabrics and a great size.
    • Loved the heater in the bathroom and the heated towel racks! Location was excellent, and the ambience of the hotel superb.

    Cons -

    • Hotel undergoing renovation-rooms were very clean but seemed dated
    • Too many staircases leading all over the complex in an illogical order.
    • No air con, didn’t worry us as we opened the window as we were upstairs.

    It was all good. We wanted an inexpensive hotel room at short notice with no frills for an overnight stay. Ideal

    It met expectations

    5CarlaPosted on: 2-9-2026

    Location was great

    Bed was old and soft Overall a bit dated

    9JennyPosted on: 2-8-2026

    We had a beautiful room (the biggest, I understand) and it was such a treat. Comfortable bed and spacious bathroom with a jacuzzi. We didn't have breakfast here, so I'm unable to comment on the hotel's dining. We had a delicious breakfast at a café on Harbour Street. The staff are friendly and polite.

    3BrandonPosted on: 2-2-2026

    Friendly staff.Well situated. Restaurant at Hotel and nice food.

    Bed was springy and hard. No head board. No air-conditioning or fan.Room was stuffy.Room was dusty.Light bulbs were blown on the bed side

    9TimPosted on: 1-31-2026

    Charming historic hotel,, some of which has been rebuilt, but lots of original features remain.

    A bit tired in places, but bedrooms updated and well appointed.

    9GeorgePosted on: 1-29-2026

    Bed was very comfortable. Room was spacious. Staff were friendly.

    9BevanPosted on: 1-23-2026

    Easy to find, plenty of parking out back. Was clean and quiet.

    A little dated at the Hotel end.Restaurant food was generous portions but quite pricy.

    7BernhardPosted on: 1-22-2026

    Comfortable bed. Good location.Nice staff

    Booked a 2nd night and the extra cost was excessive. The room is ok but walls are paper thin. Definetly not worth more than a studio in Queenstown with kitchen and lake view. Bed very soft. No propper cover on douvet so im not sure how clean the bed really is if other people have slept under the douvet with no sheet

    8Darlene K.Posted on: 1-19-2026

    Room was comfortable.Staff were friendly and helpful.Location was excellent.

    The coffee in the room was not so good.

    5GrahamPosted on: 1-18-2026

    Room was as described a bit old but newish on suite. The bed was good and as expected for a old property.

    Everything about the service was good but closed down at 9pm on Friday night and no food or drink was available from the bar/restaurant. Went for breakfast on Saturday morning and they had closed at 10am.

    9RichardPosted on: 1-13-2026

    Handy to everything very tidy the restaurant was good.
