A beautiful hotel, clean, quiet and well looked after, friendly staff and reasonably priced. Easy access to harbour and China town. The map published on the website is not detailed enough and made it hard to find the hotel initially.

I was suitably impressed with

I was suitably impressed with everything about the hotel, service, staff, food. I felt I became part of the family, everyone was so obliging and couldn't do enough to make my holiday more enjoyable, even though they had a high occupancy most nights. The owner even obliged to do up my shoelaces after suffering a broken hand on a daytour. The Big Breakfast and the Vegeterian alternative were simply smashing. I have already recommended it to my friends.

Nice and cosy but could be claustrophobic for some people because the rooms are very small with a simple bed, t.v. room structure. No table, no seats. But the upside, aircon = ) Overall, it was a comfortable one night stay.

I have stayed at this hotel several times. The rooms, while small, are always clean, modern and complete with all the amenities you would expect. The pricing is extremely good value compared to other hotel options, the location excellent and close to local restaurants and services. The breakfast menu is more limited than other hotels but includes a very reasonable range of options at competitive prices.

The rooms are small but very clean,

The rooms are small but very clean, the beds were great, the bathroom excellent, the receptionist was very helpful and engaging. I thought the rate going up for the Saturday night by $64.00 was a bit much, seeing that I had booked for two nights and extended another night after that, the Sunday night was $34.00 more than the Friday, so pricing was an issue for me.
