You cannot ask for a better location for a hotel. This spot is right at the corner of the iconic Victoria Street. The facilities were clean and being attached to the pub is a nice perk. Helpful staff are available around the clock and were responsive to each of our requests. I would stay here again! Note: if you are using public transit to get around, be prepared for a strenuous hike up the hill with your bags.
