A quiet oasis in a busy city.
The owner has clearly thought through and provided all the amenities a guest reasonably would like to be provided with. Our shower room on the ground floor was a bit small and may not be suitable for everyone but otherwise our room was very comfortable, in particular the bed which was medium firm and supportive. The breakfast was excellent with great choices and service.

The hotel above average, I should say I do not expect spacious room like in Canada but comfortable enough for 3. Walking distance most of the sights, we use to hike no problem for us. The best part is the breakfast serves hot and the servers were wonderful..good coffee. I will stay in the duture. Excellent service.

Good hotel, centrally located - 10 mins walk from Victoria. Room was (expectedly) small - single room. It was clean and quiet. Shower etc was very good (although the sink was small). Easy check-in. I did not have breakfast. Overall, a good hotel for a good price.

Made to Order Breakfast and Friendly Staff
Excellent hotel and an awesome breakfast that is made to order. The service was amazing and staff very friendly. They had umbrellas to use for the day. That made a huge difference in our plans for the rainy day. We were able to see many outdoor sights like watching the Changing of the Guards at Buckingham.

The hotel is very quaint and in a nice neighborhood. The staff were excellent and very helpful. The room was for 3 people so it was a little crowded but the beds were comfy and had a very small tight bathroom but it was clean and nice. Only place we stayed on our trip that had actual wash cloths. Our room came with breakfast but we had to leave for the airport by 6:00 AM. They brought us coffee, yogurt with granola on it and toast and jam at 5:30AM to our room. That was so nice and we very much appreciated it.

To be fair, I did book a room described as "perfect for a solo traveler". so I expected small. But miniscule would be a better description. it was about the size of a walk-in closet, at below the street level so you couldn't even have the window open to give it a little light. The desk staff were less than helpful when asked for directions, etc.
