Nice old property. Room nice. Big enough. Bathroom big enough. Beds comfortable enough. Good location, central. Easy carpark. However, we had room 12. The front room next to the door. Barely slept 1hr that night..... very noisy next to the main front door. Street really noisy. Unfortunately put a pretty big dampner on the weekend.

Property had excellent location for our needs, access to UNSW. However, the property looked much better online than in person, and was not particularly good value for money. Some unexpected surprises - no elevator, AC was not running in our room on arrival on a hot day, bathroom fan super noisy and switches on with light. Positive points were location - close to UNSW, shops, transport - and that it had good sound insulation - quiet rooms despite being on a busy intersection.

Small room, with tiny bathroom, felt very squished with three people. Courtyard room requires walking outside, whoch would have been fine except it was pouring with rain. No shelter, slippery tiles and tiled steps to reach room. Unable to pre-book parking until morning of arrival, then to be told there is none available. While the property looks lovely and is presented well, overall we paid a lot of money for its location and nothing else.

Very pleasant overall, welcoming staff and systems. If stairs poses an issue for any member of your party these will be problematic. Although daily service was offered on two occasions we had to request this be done when we returned after 4 pm, unsure when services were to be carried out.

This is a beautiful historic property in a fabulous location. We have stayed here previously and enjoyed our stay. This time however we were allocated a room right at the entrance of the property across from the lobby. Not only were we dealing with traffic noise, which we understand is outside the control of the owners of the property, the noise extending late into the night and early morning from people entering and leaving the property really impacted on our stay and sleep. The room needs a refresh, the beauty of the building and architecture of the room is let down by the tired decor and marked walls.
