This was our second time at this hotel and we stayed for almost a week. You can't beat the location on George Street, right downtown, close to shops and restaurants. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms and bathrooms are very nice. The king bed had a good mattress and pillows. There is a safe. They seem to have made upgrades since our last pre-covid stay, including air-conditioning in (all?) rooms. As you would expect in a big city, the rooms are quite small and the hotel is not exactly quiet; also depending on where your room faces. We were right by the elevator, which I generally don't like. I wonder if it's because we booked through our credit card and not direct. It seems there is sometimes a ”penalty'. The rooms are supplied daily with water, delicious cookies and snacks. You can make individual cups of drip coffee in a filter, which is much better than instant coffee but not as good as a Nespresso, IMHO. We had breakfast included and the Printing Press is just wonderful, for breakfast, any meal and later evening cocktails and whiskey. The Burr & Co is a coffee shop, also right next door, with tables outside. Love that place. The hotel has great service. We lost a suitcase and got daily support in checking on the status and changing the address on the delivery. There seemed to be a shortage on hair conditioner and we didn't have a sign for do-not-disturb the first day and got woken at 8 AM, but that didn't spoil our enjoyment of the hotel stay. We expect to be back.

We treated ourselves to three nights at this Hotel for our honeymoon, and we were very impressed. The location is perfect, the Hotel is beautiful and the staff were just amazing. A particular shout out to the woman behind the desk with a surname similar to mine (starts with a ”K”, I won't divulge too much on a public forum) who was an absolute delight whenever we saw her. By Australian standards at least (with our dollar) our suite was quite expensive, but worth it. A small mishap with what appeared to be ”brown water” rising in our bath tub was quickly dealt with, and in fairness to the Hotel, these buildings are hundreds of years old. Given the cost, this is definitely a ”treat” hotel, but we had an amazing time. A big thank you to all the team at the ”George” for being a highlight of our trip.
