"The location is great. The host was great with communication. We are a family of four and enjoyed the layout and location. I would stay again. The only strange thing was that the stairwell had a musty smell but it didn’t smell in any of the areas that you’d spend time in such as the bedrooms or kitchen."

What is a historic hotel like in Ultimo?

Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of castles, palaces or even pubs or old police stations — as long as it's of special interest.

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. "Historic hotel" is a term often used in the US, while "heritage hotel" is often used in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to place more significance on the physical building and architecture. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value and how it inspired the surrounding community.

Guests should expect the popular amenities you'd get from a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, and free and fast Internet. In Ultimo, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's uncomfortable for guests or rundown.
