A beautiful georgian property. High ceilings and big windows. No lift but help offered immediately with our luggage. I noted a large car park, tram and Bus routes but we walked everywhere...... just 15 mins from Princes st and Waverly.

Great location and staff. Property is well kept. Within walking distance of the tram and Waverley train station. Be aware that there is no lift/elevator, so you will need to take the stairs. Single room is small and basic, but it's all you need to shower and sleep. My room was on the street side and had a bright light right outside the window; better blackout curtains would have helped at night.

All staff members were super friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. We particularly enjoyed spending time with Shea. The only minor issue with the room was that an explanation of what had to be done for the lights to work was not given upon check-in. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
