Fantastic place to stay! The front desk staff could not have been more friendly, helpful, and informative. We absolutely adored our stay there, and I can’t wait to return. Try to get room 17. It’s beautiful, and like traveling back in time to another century. The bathroom was fit for royalty.
Beautiful and relaxing court yard. Great for having a drink and visiting with great people.

Room was ok, staff was excellent abut the beds were very uncomfortable and lumpy. Also, it’s very close to a very loud night club so there is music playing until 3am on weekends. It’s an older building so you definitely hear your neighbors. Cute cafe but they don’t serve dinner anymore.

Location of the hotel was perfect. Everything was a short walk to the cathedral, shopping, market place and Elizabeth gardens. We parked in the short term car park on Brown street and the hotel provided a parking card for £6 a night which is reasonable. The also provided a fan as it was hot. Missing is a mini fridge. That would have been nice to keep our drinks cold.
