Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this little hotel with the amiable staff.
We expected there would be elevator, but didn't find it.

We had a very nice time. Stayed here with our wife and everything was really good. The location was comfortable and decent - adjacent to city centre nearby as well as a guest house pub in the previous days. Plus, Queen Victoria Statue was at a moderate distance from the hotel.

It was a budget hotel. The staff was very friendly, amicable all the time. The location was perfect, the room was beautiful little and compact. A few times I ate at Oriental Delight, located just a pleasant stroll away from the venue.
