Older building so has nice tall ceilings and is quiet. Local to tram stop so easy to get to other parts of the city. Staff friendly and helpful. On the downside, shower was tiny and beverage consumables were not reliably replaced.

Many good things about this property - the rooms, though small, are very comfortable and well furnished. The location was great - right opposite the zoo, with many great eateries within walking distance.

Not great.
It's OK. We had to get moved after checking in because our room had several issues, including a loud noise from a pipe, a draught, and cobwebs. The replacement room was full of dust, so they upgraded our room to a standard room (do not get a Cosy room, they are quite bad). The standard room was better but a bit weird. It was over two floors. After using the toilet, you had to leave the toilet room and walk past the best and upstairs to wash your hands. Peeing in the middle of the night was more complex than ever! I just remembered, on Day 1 we were unpacking and the staff let another couple into our room. Thankfully we were decent, but that could have been a disaster. We then asked the staff member who was with them (and who checked us in a hour earlier) to send someone to look at the draught issue as the window wouldn't close properly. He said he would. An hour later nobody came. I went to reception, he very clearly completely forgot. An hour wasted.
