It is a lovely historical place, next to the university. The rooms are large and the beds are very comfortable. The staff is very friendly and always tries to help. I suggest it to anyone who does not like to have an anonymous hotel room which will be forgotten just as soon as on the way home.

I stayed for 3 nights. My room (no.1) was comfortable, had block out curtains as the window faces onto the parking lot. My gripes are that the room is close to the creaky stairs. Was woken up at 3am by someone walking up the stairs. Also, perhaps I missed it, but the wifi password was not displayed in the room. Otherwise, surprisingly quiet given its location very close to entertainment venues. Friendly and helpful service.

I had an enjoyable stay. I could not have stayed any closer to the venue for my workshops. It was great to walk to where I had to be on the Rhodes campus and not battle with parking. The guest house is very close to the Arch/Drostdy entrance. I stayed in a self-catering unit. There is a full kitchen (stove with oven, microwave, kettle, fridge with freezer compartment, utensils, crockery, etc.). The bed was warm and comfortable with a good (hot) shower. There is safe parking behind a security gate and good Wi-fi. Although it did not impact my sleep and work I was aware of noise in the evenings (music and chatter) from nearby venues until fairly late at night. This may bother other travellers, so something to be aware of. Although all the kitchen utensils were useable these need review/replacement/upgrading. It would be much more homely if the crockery "sets" were similar, pans did not have burn stains, etc.

We came, we settled, we fested, we slept, fested some more, repeat, repeat. 137 High street was our home base and always so nice to come back to! Still hearing the buzz as we dropped off to sleep - the guesthouse is super-central! Lovely history, well-appointed, friendly caring staff who went out of their way to care for our needs (and wants). We'll be back!
