The after-hours entry system was fantastic and much appreciated as I had issues with my flight and therefore arrived at the place very late at night. The accommodation was a comfortable and clean place to stay. The place was exactly what we needed and we found the housekeeper very helpful with information about public transport. I would definitely recommend this accommodation to other travelers.

    I cannot fault this property; it is thoroughly charming from the deep velvet curtains to the chesterfield couches, ambient lighting and quiet classical music, this hotel quietly gets in with the business of hosting guests with understated elegance. it’s position, opposite parliament and at the garden end of the cbd affords it centrality without the frenetic pace of the city.

    This guest house is a real ‘find’: it’s relatively cheap and relatively central. It’s in a quiet street, breakfast is included in the room price and the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful.
