Hillview House is a unique old guesthouse, rooms are a good size, comfortable and nicely decorated with ensuite bathroom, views of the hills & city.Well maintained , pretty breakfast room with continental breakfast provisions.A pleasure to stay in such an old but sturdy historical building.Glad the old fireplaces were kept , even in bedrooms, as a feature but not used.

Liked: Cleanliness
Good location as in walking distance to shops and restaurants. Had to negotiate too many stairs to access room. Steps to bathroom could be hazardous, a ramp would have been a better option. Continental breakfast was ok but cramped breakfast room.

Lovely but not great

Lovely room but no air conditioning for a hot day which was disappointing. Bed also was disappointing as I moved every time my husband moved. Fresh fruit for breakfast would be great too.

I didn't give 5 stars because the breakfast should be improved for so called "B &B". 1. get a coffee machine with some coffee options (we had one in a Sydney hotel, useful and probably doesn't cost much, under $750 I say). 2. have fresh fruit, the canned peaches are lousy. 3. some boiled eggs for protein 4. oatmeals packets 5 Greek yogurt is nice to have. all that won't cost very much, but will really improve the breakfast experience for the guests. thanks for the nice place

Eine nette Unterkunft mit tollem Blick und in der Nähe der Innenstadt. Alles ist Fußläufig zu erreichen. Die Betten waren super und die Zimmer sauber. Das Frühstück war okay, etwas salzige Alternativen haben uns gefehlt aber insgesamt ein wirklich gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis!
