Terrible
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

It was a terrifying night. When we arrive, entrance is wide open and random guy just walked out the building. The key card is in the envelope on the table. When we walk into the room, there is a guy sleeping on our bed! Called the building manager, he said just grab another key card and try another room. When to the other room, found out someone just showered in the room and towels are on the floor. Called the manager and told us to try another room. At this point we realised how unsafe this place is. Everyone can access the building, they can just grab the key on the table and sleep in whatever room they want. No one is on site to manage the place. We were staying a night with fear and had to block the room with a fridge. The place is expensive for what it is. We stayed there as we thought the building is beautiful, but have regretted every minute during the night and I really think I deserved a refund. DON’T BOOK AT THIS PLACE!

Pros:

The house and building were lovely looking

Cons:

No staff on site- tricky checking in, main door open and strangers wondering around the building- even overnight can hear them, laundry tricky to access and limited access, kitchen a shared space and not near rooms-

Good for a few nights, not recommended for long stays

Pros:

Privacy, the antique style of the room, large bathroom, spacious storage. Nice to have tea and coffee facilities, and the shared kitchen area is a great space to be able to feed and sort yourself out for food. How kind Andrew was when I was locked out of my room with the wrong key.

Cons:

TV set up. Poor wifi signal, bathrooms need a deep clean ( but they are not too bad).
Confusion with room keys and front door entrance keys need to be labelled more appropriately.

Disappointed
Pros:

Large room

Cons:

I had the worst experience with both booking.com and the hotel. Apparently when you arrive, you have to call someone. That person did not answer my several calls and messages. I got voice message. I tried calling the customer number for booking.com in Australia and overseas but was unsuccessful. At 9.30 pm i got a missed call from the person managing the property. When i tried calling him back, i again got put on voice messaging. Its a stupid system they have for check in process. I dont recommend the place unless they have someone permanent at reception. I did manage to call through to the guy the next day. He apologised then hung up with no care about listening to what happened to me. He didnt want to to listen to me.
