We stayed here after watching a show at the Enmore Theatre. All the staff were great and check-in/out was so easy. Honestly, there's a little noise from downstairs but it was quiet after 11pm and we didn't mind because we were getting back late from the show anyway. Super easy walking location to shops, restaurants, the train station (like 10 mins to Central) and the Enmore Theatre.

Great little pub - reasonably quiet, nice and clean AND close to just about everything. The only improvement I could suggest is darker window blinds to keep the morning light out a bit. It reminds me of an outback Australian pub where the meals are great, the beer is cold, and the accomodation does the job.

The room was really spacious and fit our family of four. Shared bathrooms was not ideal but the location was great. Was probably a bit noisy until the bar downstairs closed, at around 11pm.
