    Our room faced onto an alley where there were garbage trucks collecting early on certain mornings

    We spent five nights in the Ambrose Hotel at the end of May. Rooms were very comfortable, clean and well maintained. Staff were very accommodating and helpful. Lovely common indoor and outdoor area. We really appreciated the extra little touches they had in place for guests such as complimentary teas and coffee and wine in the evenings

    If I had to say anything negative about the place, it’s not about the hotel itself, but it’s location among lots of medical centres where lots of ambulances (and their sirens going off) get despatched. So, a little extra noise that maybe you don’t expect, but this isn’t a massive tragedy and shouldn’t put you off staying here. It IS a very nice hotel.

    When they say it’s a Boutique hotel, they ain’t lying. It’s a beautifully decked out premises with good sized rooms. The location, away from all the tourist hubbub, meant the place was sedate and relaxing. The staff were always on hand and helpful.

    They could have coffee and tea already set up in the room. I had to ask and when I did they were very accommodating. The shower head was a bit wobbly.

    Great little boutique hotel! Stayed there for 5 days and loved it. Will go back again!

    Some siren noise because it is adjacent to a hospital, but it was easily relieved by just closing the window on the street side.

    Our room was spacious and clean, nicely furnished with an armchair and ottoman, desk and desk chair, large screen tv, refrigerator, and safe. Lovely bonus was a private outdoor patio right off our room on the top floor, with tree top views. It was like an oasis in the middle of the city. Calming and tranquil. Very good breakfast place right across the street too.

    There were two minor issues: 1. The shower floor was defective. 2. The door adjoining our room was now sound proof.

    The room was nicely sized and comfortable. The brand of soap and bath robes. Also, the beverage service (including wine and beer from 7 to 8 pm) were a pleasant surprise.

    The hotel is small, but good. Super comfortable, a good price. It doesn't have breakfast, but a very good cafe on the other side of the street resolves the situation.
