Great heritage building
Great location. Great room. Great bed. We didn't receive room service though - not sure if they just missed us or they don't provide it (or you have to pay more) but we were only there for 2 nights so not a big deal. It is a beautiful old building - make sure you go and explore it.

I was happy with my stay. The staff were great and helpful and friendly. Will be staying there again.

Great stay
Great historical hotel. Close to all the food and bars on Lydiard St and the cool gin bar near railway station. Locality, old world features, happy staff. Try different. You won’t be disappointed.

Treat Yourself to Old Fashioned Luxury
Majestic, looking a little tired in some of the general areas but the room very luxurious. Modern bathroom with a Spa, robes and extra large bath towels was a big plus. Only criticism is that the power-points were tucked behind a table and one of the old world lounge chairs which made it difficult to position the ironing board and iron our clothes or even charge our phones.
Pasquale, 1-night trip

Can’t complain about one thing. We had a most enjoyable time. Thanks.

Charming, comfortable and close to art galleries and shops.

4/10 Fair

A decrepit hotel
A poor, old and decrepit hotel that was certainly nice in its day but now lacks any basic maintenance. Management's attention is on the bar and slot machines. The welcome at reception was zero. All the carpets are old and broken. There were 2 large holes in the bathroom ceiling where you could see the pipes. Parking available for 10 AUD.
LEONI, 1-night trip

Stranger Things
Strange hotel staff come across pleasant but not genuine. They like rules as well

it’s actually a bit ordinary
The bathroom, toilet and bed are in the same space. Carrying luggage will pass through a large dining space. There is no parking lot.

Staff v friendly and ever helpful. Loved the atmosphere of the heritage hotel. Food great. Unable to comment on "area around the property" as I had a fall whilst out and about and stayed mostly in the hotel
Helen, 3-night trip

An amazing example of gold rush opulence well preserved to keep its essence but with all the mod cons. Was delighted to see a working lift with manual doors!
