Lonely Planet review

Its painted brick exterior and flowery window boxes makes this the prettiest heritage hotel in the area. But if real beauty starts from within, then the carefully renovated and undeniably charming Victorian doesn't disappoint.

Among Downtown's clutch of older hotels, the Victorian stands head and shoulders above the competition. Its central skylight, brightly re-painted interiors and glossy hardwood floors illuminate the building's interior, which houses a liberal sprinkling of antiques in its creaky-floored corridors and its cozy, clean and well-maintained rooms. Half the rooms are en suite with heritage furnishings, summertime fans, TVs and robes provided as standard - some also have bay windows where you can sit and contemplate the world. The best rooms are in the recently expanded extension (room 205 is a favorite), where the bathrooms are marble floored and flatscreen TVs are de rigueur. If you want to prepare your own food, room 10 (just off the lobby) has a kitchenette. There's free in-room high-speed internet access, and free wi-fi in the lobby.
