Great location, great room. Just a-bit dusty in the bed room and the tissue didn’t get topped up after room service. Would stay again (but hoping they dust better 😉)

From the street to inside the place is well laid out. Staff accommodated our baggage storage well before check in. Our rooms were also very comfortable, ultra clean and homely feel. Grateful for the upgrade. Great central location. Black out curtains and a quiet safe space. Thank you for looking after us so well. We look forward to returning to the beautiful restored new york style Chamberson.

Do not stay here

We were surprised that our room had no windows. Also most importantly we had very significant damage to our vehicle at the entrance to this car park. We will be lodging a dispute tribunal. The owners of this business did not respond and have had responsibility. Very poor.

The property right in the middle of the city, so you guys can walk to the city center. The staff very friendly and helpful. Only one thing that I would mention, that would be great if the car park is included with the rate
