8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2026
A small, neat hotel in a perfect location if you want to be right in the centre and especially if like me you like markets as the Sunday Market and Friday and Saturday Night Food Markets are in the street outside. Very comfortable and welcoming and has well-appointed rooms with a kettle and fridge. Particularly nice shower. Immaculately clean. Staff were helpful. Historically interesting. Lots of good places to eat nearby.
Breakfast was cold but seemed it should have been hot - perhaps just a personal preference.

Excellent location on Gaya Street in the heart of the city. Heritage property with its own story.
The suite was spacious and comfortable.
The room looked a little tired, but was still very good.
