What a wonderful hotel. From the time we arrived it was awesome. The staff were excellent and could not do enough for us, great location and the rooms were lovely. We had dinner there and the food was excellent. They go above and beyond. Would definitely stay there again, highly recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Clean quiet room with comfortable bed however no spare toilet roll or tissues were provided and lights in bathroom were not working. Bathroom and toilet area very small and cramped with large step to get in and out.

The hotel was dirty and smelly. The ‘en-suite’ bathroom was literally a prefabricated cube in the corner of the room with a step up to it. The stairs up to the rooms looked as though they hadn’t been cleaned for a long time. The room smelled so bad I looked for an alternative but due to Mardi Gras there was either no availability or prices were extortionate. I don’t understand how some people have rated this hotel 10/10. They clearly didn’t stay here or have extremely low standards.

The bed was comfy and room was clean, the staff were friendly and helped store bags pre check in and post check out. It's a cheap inner city place so didn't expect much and while climbing two flights of stairs with my bags was hard I could tell the others checking in hated it so much more.
