    Value for money

I had a fantastic 4 night stay at this hotel, celebrating my honeymoon 49 years ago. The spacious and well-equipped room with comfortable beds was kept spotlessly clean. The breakfasts were delicious, offering plenty of choice, and the dining room had a great view. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel's central location was perfect for shopping, dining, and exploring this beautiful city. Additionally, it was within walking distance to Waverley station and offered stunning views across the city.

Everything was spot on.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The cleanliness was excellent, with everything fresh and clean, including a fantastic shower. The hotel facilities were great, especially the huge armchairs in our room, which provided a fabulous place to relax and enjoy the fantastic view over the city's main street. The location was perfect for exploring the city, with easy access to transportation options and convenient to go to and from the airport. The staff were friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable.
