Old hotel built in 1880s, large rooms, warm and with character in need of some redecorating but good value for price

2/10 Poor

Never stay here, we had paid before we saw the room, left after 5 minutes and was refused a refund. Avoid at all cost. Expedia should be ashamed to have this revolting disgusting dump on their platform.

Rooms were cean but small and very basic. The hotel is very old and does need more work. It was good for a nights stay.

It was like a step back to the late 1800s. It did the trick. Need more or better pillows.

6/10 Good

This old pub was probably built in the late 1890’s. And not has been spent on keeping it good. But despite that it was functional for what we wanted , which was just an overnight quick stop. The facilities are shared. And the floorboards do creak a lot, but at $200 for 3 people it was good and the staff, a lovely Indian family, were very nice.

Horrible hotel. Best suited for backpackers

Shared restrooms. Feels like living in a college dorm room. The room and Beds are clean. It's more a hostel not a hotel.

Verified

6/10 Good

The bathroom was shared, there were not enough blankets, and there were insufficient amenities like toilet paper. It was more like a hostel than a hotel. Nonetheless, it was cheap, and the staff was pleasant, so for the price, it is acceptable.

A beautiful old building in poor repair, could be really special. Dining area dingy and drab. Lack of information generally.
Romey, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

When I arrived at 9 PM, I found out that my room had been given to someone else. The staff member checked every vacant room while I waited, only to later tell me that there were no available rooms for me. He then offered me a single room, which I immediately declined because I had booked a king-size room for 2 people. He explained that my room had been taken by somebody else. We ended up waiting for 20 minutes, and not once did anyone apologize for the situation.

4/10 Fair

Way too noisy as walls are very thin. We heard snoring from one room and people making lots of noise going into their rooms at all hours. Also $102 is too dear for just a room when you had to walk down the hall for toilets and showers, probably would have got a better deal at a backpackers. Also bed very hard and only got 1 towel for 2 people.
Shirley, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The doors aren't very noise-avoidant so me and my partner ended up waking up very frequently as some noisy tourists marched up and down the hall and called each other without regard for others at 12:30am. There were also a number of dead flies in my room and on the curtains, which wasn't particularly pleasant. The staff worker was nice and friendly, but the lack of a designated reception space to check in felt quite unusual to me, and it took me a few minutes to work out how to check in as the only instruction I could find was on the front door outside the building.

This is an old building and needs updating but it was still clean and there was a dining area with dishes, microwave, hot water, cold water, refrigerator. Shower and WiFi were fine.

Would love it if the reception was open early or available without having to call (gets charged for tourist) apart from that it’s good

部屋はかなり広く、思っていたよりはきれいな部屋だった。部屋の隅のあたりに少し汚れはあったが値段で考えれば問題はなし。 駐車場はホテルの目の前の道路に路上駐車でよい。 事前にチェックインの連絡があると書いてあったが、連絡はなく夜についたときには電話をしてホテルスタッフを呼び出す必要があった。ホテル内にはスタッフがいたので呼び鈴を鳴らし続ければ電話しなくてもよかった可能性はありそう
