Excellent staff, always thoughtful and helpful. The location is perfect, in a lovely, walkable part of town very close to the harbour. The hotel is in a 100-year-old building, with all the associated creaks and bumps that appear in a building from Victoria’s early days. Enjoy the heritage atmosphere!
