Stayed one night with my two sons. Very convenient location, close to everything. They put in an extra bed for us. Good sized room and bathroom. No lift, as previously mentioned, but the staff were very helpful and carried our bags up and down. Excellent value and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Location, location, location. That’s what this hotel has going for it. Walkable to just about anything you’d like to see near the university or Centre city. That was wonderful. Would have been better if the bathroom had hooks for towels, some drawers for clothes, and a holder for the bathroom tissue. Also would have been helpful to know that there’s a flight of stairs to go up as soon as you get in the door.

Overall clean property with aircon. fridge well stocked with water which was nice. Aircon worked very well. only downside was no lift but staff were helpful in helping with luggage. Coming from australia I did not know how the shower worked, the water pressure was too high for my child. Otherwise pleasant stay

Clean room, helpful staff, good location! Easy to walk to everything from here. If you come during the World Cup, like we did, bring ear plugs to avoid disturbance from late night revelry in the streets. The pillows are too flat and the comforter/duvet was too heavy for the summer weather (even though the air conditioning works well and is adjustable). Otherwise very comfortable. Would stay there again but for those two items!

Pros - Very clean, air con excellent, staff superb and very central indeed! Lovely toiletries provided. Cons - Can hear outside noise but this was expected being so central and in a busy high street. Shower was very powerful and filled tray but it didn't cause an issue for us. Overall a good stay at this hotel.

I couldn't actually stay at this hotel because it has no elevator, so I can't rate the property itself. However, they kindly upgraded me for free to their partner hotel across the street, which was absolutely excellent. Fantastic customer service.
