Simple, clean and functional
Pros:

Check in was easy with being provided everything via SMS. It worked quite well and we accessed our rooms easily. We also liked how quite the inner rooms (without windows) were which made for a good night sleep.

Cons:

The issue with an unstaffed hotel is that you constantly have to make a call if you will let folks in that have a suitcase and which had not received the instructions as they could have malicious intent.
Not having parking outside night time might be an issue for some but it didn't

Great stay at this boutique style hotel!
Pros:

A great stay here with my favourite contactless entry ( which meant I could arrive when I wanted to). A great stay with everything I needed …..and at a great price too!

Loved the ensuite tap ware…very boutique-y 🙂

Cons:

Parking on the street was just a little tricky, due to the hotel being in such a popular spot, but I was lucky and scored a front door spot after popping out to pick something up!

Great place but bring earplugs if there on the weekend.
Cons:

The noise of the clubs until 6am meant we got ZERO sleep which is far from ideal the day before a 124km bike ride! Not your fault but suggest you warn guests that is how it is on the weekends.

Would stay again.
Pros:

Very close to Little Mallop St restaurants and bars.

Cons:

We had the front room upstairs which didn’t have an openable window. It was very light as it had a big window to the entrance area (view of the upper windows in the entrance area which were very dirty) and 2 skylights (which didn’t have blinds).
