New Town Hotel Reviews

    Parliament House Hotel
    A very happy stay…
    5 / 5
    We chose this hotel for its proximity to the Playhouse Theatre and our room was very clean, comfortable and well furnished. Staff were friendly and helpful. Our only negative was that the room was cold on arrival and, on a bitter winter’s day, it would have been more welcoming to have the heating turned on for us.…

    Fantastic location, very clean and modern apartment with everything you could need at a very good price.
