2/10 Poor

Comfy, friendly and quiet. The pub food wasnt impressive but the waitress was very nice.

8/10 Very good

Great location and fabulous staff

The Inn is in a wonderful location in Victoria.It's really lovely to be able to walk to Beacon hill park and to see the old buildings in the area and hear the horses going down the street. The restaurant is also family, friendly and has a good range of food options. The staff were really helpful when someone in my party became ill. The only thing I would say is that the suite that we stayed in was spacious and light, but needs a little updating.

A great gem with character!

The location of this hotel is fantastic! It is one block from Beacon Hill Park with quiet streets, lots of flowers and an old fashion decor. The room was roomy with two queen beds, chairs to sit on include a desk with a large chair. Very much enjoyed our stay. We are semi regular guests at this grand old hotel.
