Historic hotel, reminiscent of Fawlty Towers, complete with winding corridors and creaking floorboards. Has retained a lot of its historic character. Our spa room was comfortable with a veranda facing the ocean. Very good, quirky bistro.

Overpriced for what was offered although may be attributable to Masters SA games being in town but at over $170/night there was little value. Rooms were old and not well maintained. Zero cupboards and storage space which was annoying. Our Spa Room upstairs had walls that were very thin and noise levels excessive from other guests. Hotel is seemingly being allowed to run down as a new development of the hotel is proposed. Only positive was its proximity to town centre but overall would not recommend this accommodation

Reasonable basic place to spent the night. Downsides were only 1 chair, no table. Other places in Victor a bit more modern but more expensive of course. In a good spot so everything is walkable.

Given the historic nature of the property, it’s not surprising it feels a little run down. However, it was clean and tidy and the staff were very accomodating of our late check in. The private bathroom was down the hallway which was slightly inconvenient, and a number of large flies and mosquitos were trapped in the corridors which was unpleasant.

Room and bathroom was very clean. There was coffee and tea with biscuits in our room, we did not use but was there. New fridge too. Our own balcony too. Just an overall great stay! We will be back!

My biggest issue is that i have messaged them twice through Expedia, before and during the stay and no reply yet and today was checkout after 2 nights booking.
The details on Expedia do not match the actual rooms and to say seperate bathroom but it is actually across a hallway isnt what you would expect of a seperate bathroom.
No communication is my issue.

First of all the hot water took a long time to get hot and then would turn quickly cold. The whole place has a dilapidated feel about it and the bedroom had nowhere to put suitcases, it didn’t have a wardrobe and although it did have an iron, there was no ironing table. Would not stay there again.

Lovely old building, seafront doesn't mean seaview

Gorgeous old heritage building in a convenient location to the tourist attractions in the old part of town. Spacious room with big window and lovely antique furniture (although mattress was saggy and lumpy).Was disappointed as we had booked and paid for a seafront room but our view was of a building across the street - felt deceptive. It was possible to leave our room, cross a public corridor and go to a roped off area of the balcony (that was accessible to everyone) for a seaview. Bistro downstairs was good with a nice bar made from an old wooden boat. Decent value for money but don't bother paying more for a seafront room.

We only stayed the one night which I’m glad. Room 5 had a private bathroom across the hall with a great shower. The room definitely needs a new mattress as it was quite uncomfortable. We had trouble with the kettle and heating as I assume it was because everything was running off one power board for everything in the room. The room did have balcony access but due to the bad weather didn’t get to use it. I would say it needs a bit of updating in the accommodation area as it is looking quite ‘weathered’ however the restaurant at the rear was outstanding. The food was beautiful as were the hosts and it had been renovated.

Location wise the hotel was great and had a great view across the ocean from your room on the balcony.

The bed was just a normal double bed and was fairly uncomfortable and didn’t leave much space for 2 people.

We had also booked for a spa bath room for our stay but when trying to use it it didn’t seem to work at all.

Overall not amazing but a decent stay even if just for the view.

Ceiling fan had dust falling off it- while it was off!!
Mirror frame was also very dusty. Heating was turned on when we arrived, but it was on cool, it was like entering a freezer! Spa jets were also very dirty, and so after specifically selecting a spa room, we decided against using it. We could hear neighbouring rooms using spa, shower and flushing toilet. Overall, not recommending to others and not returning.
