I didn’t know what to expect from this place. The photos looked decent but I’m always skeptical with new hotels! I absolutely loved this place. The atmosphere was so fun. I travelled solo this trip and it for sure has a party fun kind of vibe. I don’t think I would recommend for little kids as there is no elevator and many stairs. The wall are pretty thin but the front desk gives you free earplugs. If you’re looking for a typical romantic getaway, this is not it. It’s called the adventurer for a reason!!! Full of life, many stories, and interesting history! It’s a fun place! There are no microwaves and fridges in the rooms, but they have a communal building kitchen where you can store food in fridges. If this weirds you out, don’t stay here! Hotel staff, waiters, other guests; everyone was so friendly! The food in both the pub and the cafe attached is amazing!! Great pizza in the pub and amazing coffee and treats next door! Close to the Hume hotel and Spa, to the Himalayan Salt Cave, and to lots of shops!! Overall great experience!

Great hotel apart from the fact that our room was above the bar and on a Saturday night there is karaoke until midnight. So if you want to go to sleep before midnight on a Saturday don’t get one of the rooms above the bar

Room and beds were great. Outdoor area was not ready for use, fire pit, tables etc. Breakfast was quite late at 9, so we missed it because we needed an early start.

Had a nice vibe with the exposed brick. Convenient with sports bar/restaurant and coffee shop. Nice, clean and quiet room. Free parking was limited- otherwise you have to pay at the meters.

What a awesome gem of a hotel. I love the bar and the cafe and even the lounge, and being able to enjoy your time in these various environments. The room was nice, and everything was clean and well cared for. I did find the room A little echoey as the floors are not carpeted, and the air conditioner was quite noisy, but overall the place was great and I will definitely be back again.
