Great stay

Pros: Staff are so lovely and welcoming. The property is very spacious with the bed being upstairs so there’s plenty of floor space. Beds were very comfy Location was perfect and is walking distance to many key spots

Cons: It was a little noisy and could hear the neighbours but was no problem and durning the night everyone was respectful and quiet :)

Pros: central, clean, wonderful heritage building and near a great prawn noodle place (bridge road prawn noodles). a slight walk to the atmospheric heritage areas (after crossing the busy road). near hin bus depot.

Cons: i heard the thumping bass from a bar two doors away until 6am, even though i was using earbuds... i knew about the bar from a lady cleaner. it's a low hum/thump that is barely audible but will be disruptive for light sleepers. this was for one night only though (btw my room was the one without the 'attic' and i only heard the bass one night out of three). the man at the front desk was kind enough to place me in the windowless room (not facing the streets) as he said that would be even noisier...

Stylish hotel, but don't think the two-level rooms work.

Pros: The staff were friendly, approachable, informative and helpful, particularly Logen. The hotel was near the old town, vegetarian restaurants, and other points of interest. The hotel was .modern and had a stylish foyer and seated area behind the counter, where a good water dispenser was located.

Cons: Having the bed on the upper floor didn't work. The ceiling of the bed area almost touched my head, and my height is 174cms. Plus, there wasn't much space to put things upstairs or downstairs, especially in room 101. I found several long hairs in the bathrooms of 101 and 102. It was clear the bathrooms hadn't been cleaned properly.. There was no light switch next to the bed.s So I had to turn them off downstairs and use the torch on my phone to go upstairs in the dark to bed.

Fine!

Pros: Nice hospitality. Fine room. Good location. Refreshing roof top.

Cons: WiFi is a little bit weak. I stayed a room facing the street with windows. Traffic noise continues all day and night. I didn't care about it, but many people might think it bothers good sleep.

Very nice staff, rooms a bit small

Pros: Staff was super friendly and helpful. They helped us change the room as well, as we were not to happy with the one we got first. Beds are very comfortable and the room was clean.

Cons: The rooms are smaller than they appeared on the picture, rather simple and not very soundproofed. The location is not bad, but the walkway right in front of the hotel is not well, so need to walk on the road for a bit.

Pros: I enjoyed my stay here, but the room was a bit hot since my bed was upstairs, I couldn’t really feel much of the air conditioning because the AC unit was downstairs. Other than that, I don’t have much to complain about, as it was still a good stay overall.
