And service was non-existent. ##### Margaret Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Rebecca 19 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice room, bed ok, bathroom nice but cleaner needs to look up and remove mould spots off ceiling. TV channels very limited and couldn't get ordinary TV. Parking fees the downside of this elegant heritage hotel. Loved the old movie style lift. ##### Rebecca Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Regan 16 Oct 2022 Great location. Parking is a pain, there’s an outdoor paid car park across the road but it’s $40 / day. We had a room facing the main road, old sash windows plus busy road equals lots of noise. And I mean LOTS. Monday morning must’ve been recycling for the pub downstairs too, circa 5am. Suggest getting a room away from the street - everything else is fine for the price. ##### Regan Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Barbora 8 Feb 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Couldn’t get into the room after long this from Picton. Very disappointed. ##### Barbora Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Adele 27 Oct 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The place is huge, but there isn't much showers. The one on my floor didn't have hot water, one of the two was also broken so a lot of water gathered. The laundry wasn't working but they did offer the staff one for free between a certain time which was nice. ##### Adele Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ravi 27 Jul 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities this place is an absolute dump. starts with the unmanned entrance - so you need to go find someone in the pub to give you an access card. the steps are dated (short), with ripped carpet and very unsafe. You can smell nicotine throughout the lengthy corridors. the room is a shocker - ultra cheap mattress with worn springs, smelly, tiny, with walls where moisture persists with paint peeling off. the table with the kettle has severely damaged with water. the carpets are so warn you can almost see the underfloor. so disappointing. an ABSOLUTE DUMP. ##### Ravi Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### JOHN 19 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities very good ##### JOHN Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura 26 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Easy walking distance to shops and restaurants.
