Nice location. Pleasant accomodation. Hallway floors needed shampooing, which made me doubt the condition of the carpet in the room. A cold water faucet to use in filling water flasks was near the elevator on our (and possibly every) floor.

Hotel location is nicely located; walking to attractions very easy. Our street-facing room provided bird’s eye view of the street’s happenings, and we quickly got accustomed to street noise and the bells of Christ Church. The very bustling pub next door is host to nightly live music and attracts many patrons, which adds to the din of the street.

Brilliant location, very clean and good bed. Would be ideal in cooler months. Not suited for heatwave conditions as no aircon and limited window opening. Would be happy to go back at lower outside temps. Be carful with room window outlook. Ours has zero privacy across a rooftop to an external doorway. Sheer curtains would help.
