מלון נחמד למי שמתאים בדאון טאון
Pros:

חדר יפה וגדול, שודרגנו בגודל.היה קומקום ומקרר בחדר,חנות 7 eleven ממש קרובה למלון, וכן פאבים,מסעדות ונמל במרחק הליכה

Cons:

באמבטיה אין שפופרת ואין כןבע רחצה, בעייתי לבעלות פן.כשביקנו נתנו רק כובע רחצה אחד למספר ימים.
האזור של המלון הןא מעין עיר תחתית, אמנם מלא מסעדות וחנויות אבל הרבה טיפוסים מפוקפקים ושתויים מסתובבים שם, כך שאפילו במלון אמרו לא להשאיר כלום במכונית, וגם נועלים בלילה ולוקח המןן זמן עד שהפקידות מחליטות לפתוח לאורחים את המלון הנעול בלילה

Hotel nella media in posizione centrale
Pros:

Hotel non nuovissimo in zona centrale a Victoria.
Staff cordiale, camera nella media

Cons:

Camera un po' datata, un po' buia a causa di una finestra di piccole dimensioni che dava sui tetti
Prezzo un po' alto per il servizio ricevuto

Nice Hotel in heart of Victoria (but get North facing room)
Pros:

Clean Efficient room. Easy walk to Historic Victoria sites and harbor.

Cons:

We got south facing rooms overlooking the Sticky Wicket Pub and rooftop bar. They partied hard and loud until 1 am, and it was very loud in the room. Get a north facing room.
