Staff was exceptional, friendly, and kind. Room and hotel- immaculate. Bonus discount for food and wings are fantastic. Book for cleanliness and hospitality, not size of room.

I was concerned after I read some reviews (i.e., mouse), but luckily we didn’t see mice (or evidence of). Very convenient location - restaurant on main floor and a bar downstairs! We had a problem with our TV not working and sent a text message to the “super”… but no one responded. But not a big deal!

The air conditioner was there to blow air only! We arrived in the middle of the night and the room was HOTTT. Hoping to have at least a few hrs of sleep. It showed 25 degrees Celsius at one of the times I went to see if it really just didn’t work.

The Duckworth was an older building but the room was clean, spacious and nicely decorated. The location was good for walking to Jelly Bean Row, restaurants and pubs. Access to the George Street Festival was close by as well.

The room is very small and the bed was indented in the middle which caused you to roll to the centre. Also due to its closeness to pubs in the area it is extremely noisy to sleep. There was a dog barking for two hours from about 1 am to 3 am in the morning. The pub noise and people shouting stopped around 3:45 am. Would be ok to stay for an extreme discount but would not be paying much to stay here.

The bed was very comfortable. The air condition was a welcome treat. The bar of soap on the bathtub ledge left by the previous guest makes me question how well the shower was cleaned. Power sources were well hidden, maybe a power bar would be a good addition. Very tiny television screen. One broken chair.

The hotel is a 100 years old so it is a bit of an unique experience. We stayed on the third floor so since there is no elevator that was two long flights of stairs. We decided to only bring up the things we needed for two days rather than haul our suitcases up. Although a staff member did offer to help. The room was fine but it could use some hooks on the wall to hang clothes on. The location is great . Can easily walk to the downtown area

Incredibly comfortable, spacious, and clean with all the amenities you need. The property is a charming old building and very conveniently located to restaurants and pubs; easy walk to the waterfront and The Rooms museum. The king size bed was so comfortable I ended up sleeping most of the first day because I didn’t want to leave it. The staff was wonderful. I would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
