Perfect for us
Pros:

Only wanted coffee and toast for breakfast. Priced well at $15 per person.
Staff were exceptional...not too formal, not too officious, not too familiar, just right.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Lovely hotel. Staff were very polite and accommodating. The location is fantastic. Close to the waterfront and city centre. Happy hour was our regular return time to the hotel, and it was a very cosy and comfortable spot to spend several hours. The only downside was that you had to leave again to return to the night air to find dinner options.

Cons:

The hotel did not have dinner or room service available. There were limited pillow options. For those that need flat pillows, there were no options.

Quirky historical hotel with lots of charm
Pros:

The quirky nature of the hotels, stairs going everywhere, statues and stories in every nook and cranny. Our room had huge high ceilings and a separate area for the sitting in. Which we did with a hot drink and a book at the end of the day. Staff were helpful

Cons:

Buffet Breakfast was awful - we could have mentioned it - but others appeared to be OK with it so it may just be us. We ended up going out for breakfast even though it was included in our room rate. Even the back room that the breakfast is served in is a bit soulless compared to the rest of the hotel

Also - we do not like the plastic mattress protectors - they just make it hot in bed - easy remedy remove. I wish hotels use the cotton protectors if they believe that a mattress protector is necessary.

Thoroughly enjoyable
Pros:

Central and charming reminder of yesteryear. The Gallery had an amazing exhibition and the pianist at the bar was very relaxing. I was reminded of the street pianist Natalie Yrayling who was a regular at Hadleys for many years. Perhaps she could be included in the memorabilia.

Cons:

Nothing

A comfortable couple of nights stay, would recommend
Pros:

The hotel is beautifully historical and loved all the artworks. The location is great. The breakfast was really good.

Cons:

The lift was under maintenance, and there are lots of stairs. BUT the staff were brilliant and would take your bags to your room if requested.
