Pleasant

Liked: The location.
Disliked: The owner requires you to walk inside in either your socks or slippers she provides. She overemphasized that we must be quiet as it is her home. We felt like an inconvenience and like a disruption to her life.

Very good

Good

Liked: Beautiful house keeping the original flavour of the old Victorian houses
Disliked: Too many explanations when arriving but made in a very polite manner by the owner.

Beautiful hotel with a touch...

Liked: The accommodation is lovely with lots of special touches. Each floor has an area containing a coffee machine. There is also an area on the 2nd floor with a microwave and an air fryer. Quality linen and a comfy bed added a little luxury at an affordable price.There is a little dog and a cat. Both are friendly, but the dog does bark when he sees you.
Disliked: Carmen, the host, asks the guest to remove shoes, which is fine, and had slippers at the front door for guests to use. I did find it a little odd that she insisted not to walk inside with barefeet.I found my room stuffy and opened the windows for fresh air, but when I went out, staff would enter my room and close them.

Superb

Liked: It is rare that a hotel exceeds your expectations. We chose this hotel in part because it was cheaper than most others in town and in part because it was somewhere different to stay to all the big chain hotels. It turned out to be a little gem: beautiful, historic hotel with comfortable, well-appointed rooms and bathrooms. The owner(s) clearly made a real effort to preserve the hotel and chose the decorations well. It felt odd when we were asked to take off our shoes at the entrance, but once you see the beautiful wooden floors and feel (some of) the thick carpets, you understand why. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in Sydney!
