Charming Stay with Boutique Touches

bus station restaurant recommendations living area
the location was superb as it was very close to the bus station. i could leave my bags and get a coffee nearby. the staff were lovely and gave great restaurant recommendations the room layout seemed like an apartment with a mezzanine bedroom upstairs and a living area downstairs. there was also a kettle with free coffee and water provided.
the constant knocking and drilling right beside us was disruptive. i wasn't informed about this in advance so it ruined our morning.
Location
9/10
the hotel is within walking distance to eateries and heritage areas. the lobby has clean windows and doors and the reception area shines. a supermarket, starbucks, and 7-eleven are also located nearby.
