Delightful and memorable
Pros:

I loved this hotel. It felt so comfortable to be in, like home, but fancier. Staff were welcoming and helpful. The decor attention to detail is delightful. Real plants, library nook, art deco lamps and the beautiful verandah looking out to the bay made this hotel a memorable place to stay. I'd stay here again.

Cons:

We couldnt cast to the TV. A minor issue only..

A great, immersive experience in the Art Deco style and architecture.
Pros:

The whole hotel has remained authentic, from the front door to the room, to the decor throughout. There is even a wireless, playing vintage music in the reception. Our room had opening windows that allowed fresh air in and in warmer weather it would be nice to sit on the upper floor’s outdoor patio. The room, bedding and facilities were great and we would highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to experience Art Deco up close. The location is excellent also for accessing Marine Parade walks, the museum, information centre, as well as the main downtown area. Highly recommend the guided walking tour also.

Cons:

The only thing that let the whole experience down, was the service at the hotel’s restaurant. It was slow and the food options, although seemed to be good, could go up a notch … we also ate at The Central Fire Station, down the road and couldn’t fault that as an alternative.

Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal vom Check in bis zum Check out!
Die Lage an der Meerpromende
Bemerkenswertes Hotel Design.

Cons:

Das Zimmer (superior mit kingsize Bett) war doch sehr klein; das Badezimmer ist tatsächlich schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber es war sehr sauber!
