Booked this place on recommendation of friends who stayed here in January 2025. Highly recommend for location and walkability - close proximity to Kings Park and overpass walkway at end of street to CBD, 15 minute walk to Elizabeth Quay and Hay Street Market. Rooms are clean and have kitchen provisions - gas cooktop and microwave and fridge. Staff helpful and friendly. Would recommend and rebook if returning. Parking is limited on site however free street parking is available between 6pm and 8pm. Also great breakfast bar cafe downstairs which is open 7 days a week from 7am and open for dinner Tuesday - Friday. Coffee and meals both great.

Location, easy access to the CBD of the city, short stroll to Elisabeth Quay, short stroll to Kings Park, nice small hotel ( to be fair it is halfway between a quest house & a full hotel) but the rooms are very spacious ( like huge). Our room was a mini apartment complete with fully equipped kitchenette. Staff are really friendly & helpful. Reception is open a limited time daily but alternative key collection works perfectly. Main door access works easy. The communication on this is on point and easy to digest. The independent restaurant attached does a great breakfast & lunch. ( I did not try dinner there unfortunately). All in all a great little hotel with really large rooms and great staff.

Excellent location on a street lined with beautiful jacarandas and within easy walking distance of town and botanic gardens. Our room was a little dated but immaculate. Excellent restaurant on the ground floor which is busy with locals and which does a great breakfast. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Only downside was traffic noise from the highway which was almost constant. Would highly recommend unless you are a light sleeper.

This is not a normal hotel - it is a beautifully designed boutique hotel, combining different eras of culture, nature and modern amenities. The owner has a natural talent for identifying what people value in accommodation, and has turned these traditional buildings into a special and comfortable place to stay. The rooms have a 1940s base architecture, but with modern bathrooms, kitchens, lighting etc, and classic furniture such as leather seats. Downstairs there is a great restaurant (open breakfast, lunch and dinner) which serves quality meals with local ingredients - people from the neighborhood come just to use the restaurant. There is also an inbuilt bookshop full to the brim with unique, high quality and beautiful versions of books - many are sealed so can't be read, but looking at them all is quite fun. Buildings and gardens have been merged, allowing space for the trees to grow through balconies, adding to the authentic character. Location is near the bottom of a hill - at the top is Kings park, and at the bottom is a pedestrian bridge to the edge of the CBD, so it may take 5 minutes more to reach some city venues, but well worth it for the quality experience.

Comfortable room, friendly front staff, but... The management, what are you on? Laundry... Serious issues yet such a basic service to provide. 1. Laundry is self service and uses coins, yet, the desk won't give you coins unless you have cash, where's the cash? 20min walk to an ATM. We'll that's pretty stupid?! Surely you could either provide card readers or allow guests to get coins with a card to use your own washing machines instead of forcing them to walk into the city to an ATM. Especially considering point 2. 2. Laundry is only open until 7pm, so let's say you're a typical person working in the city until 5 (if you don't stay any later) your still gonna need 10-20min to get back to the hotel, leaving you (at best) 1hr 40min for the wash AND dry. Let's say you don't get back to hotel until 6 (realistic), now you have an hour or less to do your wash and dry. 3. There are signs in the laundry saying the whole cycle is 45min (wash AND dry) - not true, the wash took 35min by itself, the dry was scheduled to run 40min. Because I started the wash at 6:05pm (well within the indicated time) I got 20min of drying completed before the poor service desk lady had to kick me out because her shift was ending. So I might be going to work tomorrow in wet clothes. Further to the laundry scam, the hotel will require guest personal bank details regardless of whether or not its a business booking and business payment, and has stupid policies like charging you $80 if you lock yourself out of your room or forget the front door code. Look, the room was comfortable, the staff were nice, but the hotel management policies are extremely poor and leave a bad taste in my mouth with wet clothes on my back, I dread the poor people who have had issues with deposits not refunded. Like what kind of dictator makes these sort of policies, or is it just an aussie thing to make everything hard and hostile, do they even know the meaning of Hospitality? Cannot recommend. Will use a different provider for the next trip.

Fit for purpose, an incredibly convenient location for events in Kings Park. Great breakfast venue. Rooms recently refurbished. Very limited service, but it is not pretending to be anything other than apartment style.

A very friendly and helpful set the tone for an enjoyable four night stay. In a quite road but lovely birdlife in the trees, it's a short walk to the Botanical Gardens or The Quay. Room was adequate and bed very comfortable.
