Great location - and right across the road from the tram stops which were brilliant coming every 10 minutes. The hotel is quite classy and comfortable, however it needs a lot of maintenance attention in various areas due to the age of the hotel (apparently built in 1867) - room cleanliness was ok although there were some areas (in the inner window frames which looked as if they had never been cleaned. Could not avoid seeing it when you opened up the window. Bed was very comfortable. On the occasion that we had our room "cleaned" by housekeeping, all they did was empty the rubbish bins, give us an additional toilet roll and pull up the covers on the bed - did not even move the pillows. They did not replenish the coffee sachets or water bottles or clean/vacuum the floor. Must have taken them all of 2 minutes, so a bit disappointed with that given that the hotel is one of the few along the esplanade that has class written all over it. Breakfast was very good, and the staff are working hard to make you feel welcome. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and our interactions with staff in all areas was always very pleasant and helpful. I would recommend staying here again should I ever be in the area again.
