We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed our time here. The hotel was very clean, the room was spacious and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The only small thing we missed was having slippers in the room. Other than that, everything was excellent. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel!

Lovely hotel, extremely friendly staff. Room clean and stylish, with a large, well stocked bathroom. Fridge in room was a useful addition and full teas and coffee both in room and downstairs at reception for no additional cost. Perfect location as well, just 10 minutes walk from Waverley. Would definitely recommend staying again! 5 stars

The location of this hotel is excellent, just a few minutes walking to the city center. Our room was big and spacious, just the location of the bathroom a little weird, but also big too. It was a nice a nice hotel, just a thing, it gets a little hot and stuffy and you can open the window just al little, maybe a fan or a portable AC would be better
