My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was ideal for my needs, close to the local supermarket and just a short walk to Cuba street and Courtney place. The service was truly exceptional, with the staff going out of their way to ensure a comfortable stay. However, the room was a bit disappointing as it was dark and cold, smelling like cigarette smoke, and lacking cooking facilities beyond a fridge and microwave.

The room I stayed in was quite dark and cold due to its location behind an external staircase. It also had a strong smell of cigarette smoke and felt cramped.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the bright side, the rooms had all the basic necessities required and were in excellent cleanliness; I would recommend them to my friends. However, the rooms felt very pokey and really grotty to me. On the positive side, the shower was suitable for the elderly/disabled with a fold-down seat, a thoughtful touch that I appreciated.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room had a suitable shower for elderly or disabled guests with a fold-down seat, but it was quite shabby and in need of maintenance. I did appreciate the partition wall that separated the back room from the front area.

The location was convenient for me as it was close to where I needed to be. There was a good bus service nearby which was helpful. However, the housekeeping wasn't great as they took away a tea towel and didn't replace it. Despite this, it was still great value for money.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were perfect for a family of four, with comfy and clean beds, but the incredibly creaky floor boards made it difficult to sleep with noise early in the morning. The location was excellent for exploring the city, while the dining experience was a bonus with perfectly cooked meals delivered hot to the room.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but the creaky floorboards made it hard to rest when other guests moved around early. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, even turning on the room heater before my arrival. The location was convenient with bus stops nearby, but it wasn't the best. The dining was a bonus with perfectly cooked meals brought to the room. Overall, a decent stay with some drawbacks.
