The property is 130 years old but well looked after although the floorboards do creak like Pais. Breakfast staff need more drive. We stayed 4 nights and every day you had to ask to have the milk, orange juice and coffee refilled and when the eggs and bacon ran out hey would come back with 2 eggs and a few rashes of bacon. I can understand if it was getting towards the end of breakfast but it was only 8 to 8.30.

Amazing hotel with lots of character. Superb location. Only constructive feedback would be that the bathroom could be updated a bit, and black-out curtains would be useful (it was hard to keep the light out).

A unique antique property across the street from the Prince's Gates at Government Gardens, hence the name. The hotel common areas are phenomenal, old woods, wallpapers and furnishings well maintained. I rarely photograph my hotel surroundings, but made an exception here - museum like! The dining area and bar were great. Had a breakfast plan that was very good. Spend an afternoon sitting in the lounge in front of fireplace reading. Nice! An easy walk from city center with shopping, dining, parks, thermal features. The hotel's thermal pool was down for repairs, but they provided access to Polynesian Spa's family pool - 10 min walk away. The Spa's lakeside pools were excellent. The room itself was antique/boutique quaint, but very small with minimal amenities. Bathroom was clean, but tiny. Smell of sulphur from the geothermal areas was everywhere. Woke me at 3am one night it was so strong. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Overall a nice stay.
