I liked that the room was right downtown. It would have been great to have had a bit larger room, but the hostoric nature of the building made up for it, however. It seems the building is due for a rennovation to make it a bit more contemporary. As it stands, it is very “from the 90s.” Prompt service response to my emails.

We had a 4th floor room which was small but cozy with good breezes from windows on 3 sides. Small narrow staircase may be hard for some people or those with heavy luggage. Coffee or hot water are self serve on the first floor. Small fridge in the room.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
A great location but since we had no car there was a lot of uphill walking. It was clean and comfy but very small room and tiny bathroom. We had to do three flights of stairs, no elevator. The kitchen area was nicely stocked but lacked a sink. Very nice sitting area. Ok for only 2 days.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
This property is in an excellent location, easily walkable to the harbour and all the restaurants and bars of Water and George Street, and even walkable if you’re more ambitious, to the hike from Battery neighborhood up to Signal Hill and of course to the Rooms. The room itself was quite small and a bit dated, but if your intention is just to sleep there, it did the trick.
