A beautiful historic building renovated to a modern hotel. Great location walking distance to shops, restaurants, pubs, The Rooms and Signal Hill (if you are ambitious). Tue complimentary breakfast was a nice surprise. Our room was clean, spacious and comfortable and we loved the heated towel rack!!! Will definitely return.

I love the staff especially Harkirat, for his kindness and generosity who went out of the way to get us bottled water as all groceries were closed after 7 pm. Also I thank Brianna for guiding us for the best dinner we longed for. For sure I will recommend this property
