Hotel Palisades exceeded my expectations. The location doesn't get much better if you like walking.
Pros:

Loved the location as it was central to what my plans were for the few days. The fact that it was located in an old pub was fun and different. The staff in both the pub and the rooftop bar were very friendly, outgoing and informative.

Cons:

I did love how the rooms were all themed and had a balcony however my room was pretty dusty and the bed head needs a good clean too. I wouldn't say the bed was overly comfortable, instead-tolerable to okay. Despite the nice breeze blowing through, an aircon unit would have made the room near perfect for a better night's sleep.

Pros:

Loved the history of the building. We found the staff super friendly. Especially Tom, Nick and Lachy.

Cons:

The pillows were pretty uncomfortable for me. The floor was really noisy but that’s not so much something that can be fixed, just something we didn’t like.
