Convient location handy to city lots of activities nearby

8/10 Very good

The back entrance from the parking shed was dirty and had a divey feel to it. The room was lovely and warm and the decor was Elizabethan, some may find that dated. The parking was a bit tricky if your vehicle was 4WD. Like the convenience of food places handy to the accomodation and it was surprisingly quiet for being located on Hamilton's Main Street.

Love the 20s-vibe of the furnishings and the vastness of its rooms - even the smallest room has space for an extra bed or two! The larger rooms are like a suite! And being central its great for restaurants and cafes just outside the door. This is our go-to hotel in the Tron every time :)

The rooms were large and clean, however the air-con wasn't great, and they had plumbing issues. Communication from the hotel via the hotels.com messaging service prior to arrival was non-existent. Not worth the $200+ per night.

4/10 Fair

We booked this place because it was cheap, so our expectations were set appropriately low — and we’re pleased to report they were met perfectly. The building has plenty of “character” (read: run down), and the noise levels meant you were never alone with your thoughts. If you’re after luxury, keep scrolling. If you want an affordable stay that delivers exactly what you pay for, this is absolutely it.
