We enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately our Room 31 was a bit smelly. It was very clean. I don’t know if it was the ventilation or the fact that the hotel is old. All the staff were friendly and the room was comfortable.

Room was on 4th floor and there was traffic noise, mainly sirens, which was to be expected given city centre location. We had a private bathroom which made it.all the more convenient. Hot water took a long time to come through but this was shown.on signs so you were.aware.on arrival. Would stay again. Less than a block to Wynyard Station.
