Very Nice in Kalorama

Overall, this was very good. It was a little away from everything, but the room was fine (& very warm). The site itself is lovely with rosellas & cockatoos (& evidence of visits by either rabbits or kangaroos-not seen by me). There's a lovely common area with a pool table & pretend fire. The staff were very helpful. The only thing I would warn people about is to enter via Link Rd - the alternative has a Kosisoko like climb & my ute stalled (it worked out in the end, but Link Rd is much simpler

Lovely property and grounds. A bit dated, but the room was sufficient for our needs. Bed was hard and had two singles pushed together (to make a king). Can't comment on the food as we didn't eat there but the staff were friendly and welcoming.

The rooms are very tired and in need of a refresh. The lights are dim and some power points have been blanked off. The TV and supplementary heating barely work. This gives the feeling of cheap and mean management.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I booked 1 overnight stay and checked-in around 8 pm on Saturday. Reception had closed by 4 pm and my room key was sitting on the counter in an envelope with my name on the outside. The facility actually has a locked after-hours room key safe, but, this was not used instead. This felt very unsafe to me. The ground floor was extremely noisy with the other customers pacing back and forth and shouting in the courtyard. A very disruptive place. I wouldn't stay here again. I left the next morning at 6 am.
