We loved the location of the hotel and the size of our room was perfect!
Not that we didn’t like the hotel. It’s a little old but it added to its charm!

Room - very good size, cleaned and comfortable. Good breakfast.
WiFi - very poor. I used my data; however, I was still struggling due to a low signal.

Perfect location opposite Waverley Station for my onward travel plans
My room did not have a window!!! Not a chink of light at any time of day. The lack of natural air was awful, the aircon making it so dry that I woke several times in the night. Very uncomfortable!
