Pros:

Reception staff member was friendly and welcoming. The historic building itself is amazing! Location is fantastic. Bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Booked a balcony room as a special treat for our get away for nearly $300 a night and was disappointed as soon as I walked into the room. Size of room was smaller than what the photos depicted, furniture on balcony was cheap, worn and dirty (nothing enticed us to enjoy the balcony), the bathroom was dated with a caravan style shower cubical, basin from the 70s and no ventilation, and the restaurant and bar were closed. Not worth the money. Won't be staying there again despite the grandness of the venue itself.

Great weekend escape.
Pros:

The staff were warm and welcoming. The historical building itself was gorgeous and very inviting. The room was spacious and comfortable and we loved our balcony views of the water. It was close to local shops and the bus stop which we used for the shuttle bus to the Q Train. The meal in their restaurant in Friday night was delicious. Couldn't find any faults.

Cons:

Nothing.

Charming and pleasant but a bit tired
Pros:

The service was excellent, and the food in the restaurant was very enjoyable. The hotel is in a great location, and the historic character of the property gives it a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Cons:

The rooms were quite dated and would benefit from some refurbishment. Greater attention to cleaning and maintenance would make a significant difference. Both our balcony and our friends’ balcony next door were covered in pigeon droppings, and it appeared that the outdoor areas had not been properly cleaned for quite some time. In addition, the vanity top in our bathroom was noticeably water-damaged and in need of replacement. While the room was functional, these issues detracted from what could otherwise have been a much more enjoyable stay.

A pleasant, comfortable stay in a charming historic hotel.
Pros:

The hotel has a lovely historic charm and felt very clean throughout our stay. The room itself was perfectly fine, well-maintained, and offered a comfortable environment. The historic atmosphere from that era gives the property a unique and interesting character.

Cons:

Because it is an older style hotel, some of the facilities and amenities feel a bit dated. It lacks some of the modern luxuries or updates you might find in a newer property. However, it still functioned well enough for a basic weekend getaway.

Lovely old building in a great location- rooms are tired and lacking facilities
Pros:

the location was great, the building is old and heritage style and that's beautiful.
The staff were friendly and welcoming,
its walking distance form everything and that's great
our king room was huge

Cons:

beds were hard and not great- sagged in the middle
Bathroom was so old and run down, no shower screens only an open bath / spa tub that's cracked and dangerous to get in and out of.
power points all on the floor level- so you have to get on the floor to plug in the kettle and your phone. No mod cons in the room at all. its very old and tired.

Lovely room with little french doors leading out to a small balcony. Comfy bed and amenities. Dinner in the restaurant w
Pros:

Central location and old world ambience.

Cons:

Don’t stay here if you have mobility issues as parking a walk away and no elevator so need to climb flights of stairs with luggage.
