 Lovely hotel, friendly staff and good food. Not too far out of town, a little expensive but not bad fora capital city.
 
2. From: Darren Pearce, Australia
 Date of Stay: July, 2007
 It was a pleasure to stay in this hotel- the rooms were lovely and very clean. The staff were excellent and very friendly place to stay. A real home away from home.

4. From: Marry Finlay, United Kingdom
 Date of Stay: April, 2007
 While the hotel was clean and the beds very comfortable the hotel did lack a few facilites that are taken for granted, such as a bar (which stated that it did have one)it had a cooler box with soft drinks a few beers and white wine - not a full stocked bar as expected. Location very good as the airport bus left you practacly at the front door( return airport bus ?5:00) airport bus passes every 10 minutes every day. Scheduled busses very regular you can purcahse a ?2:50 all day ticket for as many trips as you like. The hotel is situated on a straight road into Princess Street about 10/15 minutes on the bus (you can also walk this as it is a straigt road). Staff very pleasant but speak very little English. Rooms are adequate with tea/coffee facilities, no hair dryer for those in need. Font door closes at 10:00pm however there is a staff member on hand to let you in after this time. Breakfast continental but not much choice. Would recommend this hotel for a short stay.
