Lonely Planet review

Close to the city but in an elevated area so the noise and congestion are minimised, this refurbished and friendly hotel housed in a century-old sandstone building has both basic and more luxurious rooms and apartments.

The staff here are particularly friendly and helpful, and clearly proud of their good-value and reliable accommodation. The hotel is divided into two sections: the three-star rooms, housed in the older part of the hotel; and the refurbished four-star rooms and apartments on the newer upper floors. The no-frills three-star rooms are small and a bit cramped, but spotlessly clean and well priced. The four-star rooms are much plusher, with good views over the city from their private balconies. Apartment rooms have a full kitchen corner. There's a lap pool and a sundeck on the roof, and a cosy bar/brasserie with tables on the pavement outside.
