Great location, friendly staff, older hotel.
Good location in Little Italy close to public transport, very friendly reception staff, and relatively quiet room. However, furniture and hotel are older and need some maintenance.

Perfect location!
Perfect location right in the heart of little Italy. My queen room was quaint but did the job. Mini fridge was nice to have and bed was comfy. Staff was very accommodating, was my second stay here and I’d definitely stay again!

We really loved staying in Little Italy and found the hotel to be perfect for our needs. Our room was upgraded as we were celebrating a birthday and the room was good. The staff were really helpful and the English bar cross the road was enjoyable in the evenings.

Location is awesome
The hotel is literally steps away fromthe Little Italy sign. Restaurants surround you. Amazing view of the bay as well. Rooms are small but the bed was very comfy. Lovely atrium and a coffee shop are downstairs.

Great stay in little Italy
Location was fantastic, could walk to everything and clean and safe. Shower had plenty of hot water and bed was very comfortable. Exercise room could use some free weights instead of medicine balls

Location, location, location!
Delightful location. So convenient to wonderful food and drinks. They had a little problem with their fire alarm system while we stayed giving us an unpleasant midnight wake up call. But, that’s certainly an irregular occurrence. Mattresses were a little warn, but the hotel was quiet for being so close to everything.
