Excellent location, friendly staff and clean, comfortable rooms with character.
Pros:

Excellent location, good value for money and clean, comfortable rooms. Very helpful and friendly reception staff and good to have a safe space to store cases before flights. Great coffee and cafe options closeby, as well as the beauty of Batttery Point and Princes Park. Great to have a kitchen option and iron.

Cons:

Oh, please mend the lift! I did have heavy cases, but someone kindly helped me bring them upstairs. I do miss the stove option rather than just a microwave. Last time, about a year ago, there were better bathroom products.

Lovely old pub with great adjoining restaurant and bar
Pros:

Really nice old pub in quaint neighbourhood a short walk from the centre. Friendly staff and pleasant stay. Our room was a bit small but it was the budget option. Free toast and coffee a bonus.

Cons:

Budget room a bit cramped, but perhaps to be expected

Grab a beer at the pub and hang out with some local characters.
Pros:

Great ambiance, history and staff were lovely. Room was very comfortable. Different dining options within the hotel. The pub was the best. Good happy hour specials, too.

Cons:

Location of Battery Point is beautiful to walk through. City Center is a little farther and may be a challenge for those who have mobility issues.
