The location is excellent, views from the balcony are great. The showers were appalling, carpets were a trip hazard, building old and dilapidated, recommend bringing your own pillow.

The view that we had from the top floor was lovely, especially at night. It was close to town that we walked rather than drive and it’s really close to the Saturday market. There was plenty of eateries to choose from that were a short walk away. It was a great place to stay at to start off the holiday

Its Budget accomodation in a multi-storey building that has seen better days. What can't be comprromised is customer safety, the stairs leading from ground to 1st, 2nd & 3rd floor have extensively frayed carpet edges at the fron of the steps, thiscould easily result in a major fall, this looks to have been like this for years ... cleanliness in the bathrrom was also an issue and needs more attention ... the Towels were clean the bed was clean and comfortable I'd give it 3 stars because its conveniently located .... reception from the young man was welcoming and unfussed ... mobile communication from the venue was helpful, but parking at the edn of a day exploring was non-existent and could result in parking fines if parking in the local streets.

Staff are really friendly. Building is lovely art deco, great location to view the waters and stars and convenient walk away from amenities and the city (If you enjoy walks). Public transport just out front, heritage suburb just "behind". The room is not a hotel but is good enough for resting, and you are getting heritage, friendliness and convenience to the important things - experience!

Bathroom: No towel racks, regulating the shower temperature to a satisfactory warmth was virtually impossible . Bedroom had a very small heater which took about 12 hours to warm up the room. The bed was very uncomfortable- rather old and lumpy. There was a table and only one chair for 2 people. The spare blanket had holes in it.

Dangerous!
No lighting on stairs ( we were on second floor) inside or outside. Tiles missing from the floor of the shower. No shower curtain. No main light- light is about 2cm above to and is a spotlight! Mini fridge in awkward spot to use. No toilet roll holder. Paper simply sitting on back of toilet.

Only good for a place to sleep if you are desperate - had to stuff the pillows with clothes (the pillow on their own is thin and extremely clumpy... very slept on!), the bed has caused me to visit my chiro (we were there for 3 nights), would have had a better shower if i was able to run myself under the sink tap (but the sink is the size of my hand and the under pipe is broken... not that it matters as the room floods when you turn the shower on anyway!). If you're not used to sleeping with lights flooding through moldy curtains, then bring an eye mask (and earplugs, doors seem to slam at all hours of the night)! Also, don't stress if you forget your underwear, there is some hanging in the cupboard from previous tenants... yuck! This is a harsh review, yet i was somewhat catfished by the photos and did not get what i was expecting at all... i did look for other hotels (happily willing to lose the money we had already spent on this accommodation) but there was no vacancy anywhere. The major saving grace is that it is in a great location, about a 10 min walk downhill to Salamanca Place.
