Need underlay on the stair case to reduce the noise when going up and down to the room.

Excellent value!
Pros:

The owners were very welcoming, allowing me to check in early as I arrived ahead of schedule.
The room was very clean and comfortable.
Dinner in the restaurant was delicious, as was breakfast the following morning - the coffee was especially good!
Overall, the hotel provides comfortable accommodation and excellent food at a very affordable price; the friendly hospitality is an added bonus.
I have no hesitation about recommending The Aurora Hotel.
