Unbeatable location on George Street surrounded by boutiques and bars
Stunning historic 'Townhall' rooms with high ceilings and original details
Le Petit Beefbar and Burr & Co offer excellent on-site dining and coffee
快速了解: It's a grand dame that looks the part, but the lack of a pool and occasional noise issues make it feel less 'luxury resort' and more 'upscale city crash pad'.
@dfmarin 的评论: I spent a magical Christmas weekend here and it felt like a movie. The Ferrier Suite was massive—having a separate living room made such a difference. Plus, stepping out right onto George Street for shopping was incredibly convenient. Highly recommend for a splurge.
住过这里的客人说
The hype
Guests adore the location and the helpful concierge team, but often feel the standard rooms are too small and the breakfast is overpriced.
Reality check
You're paying for the postcode; while the lobby and suites are grand, some standard rooms in the 'Forth Wing' feel generic and dated compared to the historic 'Townhall' section.
You prioritize being steps away from high-end shopping and restaurants
You appreciate historic architecture and high ceilings (in specific rooms)
You are traveling with a dog (very pet-friendly, though for a fee)

Maintenance: Most rooms are well-maintained, but some peeling paint on windows and noisy HVAC units reported.

“I would love to request a room in the original 'Townhall' section of the building rather than the Forth Wing, ideally on a high floor to minimize street noise. If available, a view of the Castle would be wonderful.”

内部人士建议
✨
Ask for a 'Townhall' room specifically to get the historic character; 'Forth Wing' rooms are much more generic.
✨
The 'Cosy' rooms are truly tiny—upgrade to at least a Standard or Premium if you have more than one suitcase.
✨
Burr & Co (the attached coffee shop) is often better and cheaper for a quick breakfast than the main hotel buffet.
出发前需要了解的5件事
💡The heating system in some rooms is an old fan unit that rattles loudly all night.
💡You can hear the trash trucks in the back alley at 5 AM if you're in a rear-facing room.
💡The 'City View' isn't guaranteed to be a *good* view; sometimes it's just rooftops.
💡There are no robes in the standard rooms, only in Premium/Suites.
💡The lift system is confusing because the hotel is formed from five different townhouses stitched together.
