Location and comfort for execellent value
Pros:

This hotel is excellent value for money and delivered much higher than I had expected on first impressions at check-in in the Pub downstairs.
The room is renovated to a high standard, a Nespresso coffee machine, L’Occitane toiletries, a soap dish to hold the little hand soaps hotels give you that then slide around everywhere! a great shower, comfy bed!
Easy parking and the location in Battery point is just gorgeous. Go for a walk and check out the neighbouring houses, some great restaurants and cafes near by, and an easy walk down Kelly street stairs to Salamanca.
