“It's clear this historic building retains a wonderful character, particularly evident in its spacious, airy rooms, some featuring striking four-poster beds and claw-footed baths. The location is undeniably convenient, a stone's throw from the Opera House and Pavilion Gardens, with the bonus of a surprisingly quiet atmosphere at night. My impression is of a place with a strong, friendly staff presence and a breakfast that genuinely impresses, making it a truly solid choice.”
