This old pub was probably built in the late 1890’s. And not has been spent on keeping it good. But despite that it was functional for what we wanted , which was just an overnight quick stop. The facilities are shared. And the floorboards do creak a lot, but at $200 for 3 people it was good and the staff, a lovely Indian family, were very nice.

Shared restrooms. Feels like living in a college dorm room. The room and Beds are clean. It's more a hostel not a hotel.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
When I arrived at 9 PM, I found out that my room had been given to someone else. The staff member checked every vacant room while I waited, only to later tell me that there were no available rooms for me. He then offered me a single room, which I immediately declined because I had booked a king-size room for 2 people. He explained that my room had been taken by somebody else. We ended up waiting for 20 minutes, and not once did anyone apologize for the situation.

The bathroom was shared, there were not enough blankets, and there were insufficient amenities like toilet paper. It was more like a hostel than a hotel. Nonetheless, it was cheap, and the staff was pleasant, so for the price, it is acceptable.

A beautiful old building in poor repair, could be really special. Dining area dingy and drab. Lack of information generally.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Way too noisy as walls are very thin. We heard snoring from one room and people making lots of noise going into their rooms at all hours. Also $102 is too dear for just a room when you had to walk down the hall for toilets and showers, probably would have got a better deal at a backpackers. Also bed very hard and only got 1 towel for 2 people.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The doors aren't very noise-avoidant so me and my partner ended up waking up very frequently as some noisy tourists marched up and down the hall and called each other without regard for others at 12:30am. There were also a number of dead flies in my room and on the curtains, which wasn't particularly pleasant. The staff worker was nice and friendly, but the lack of a designated reception space to check in felt quite unusual to me, and it took me a few minutes to work out how to check in as the only instruction I could find was on the front door outside the building.

部屋はかなり広く、思っていたよりはきれいな部屋だった。部屋の隅のあたりに少し汚れはあったが値段で考えれば問題はなし。 駐車場はホテルの目の前の道路に路上駐車でよい。 事前にチェックインの連絡があると書いてあったが、連絡はなく夜についたときには電話をしてホテルスタッフを呼び出す必要があった。ホテル内にはスタッフがいたので呼び鈴を鳴らし続ければ電話しなくてもよかった可能性はありそう
