What a cute hotel! Everything from the old school suitcases at the reception desk to the flamingos and leaves in the elevator. The room was smaller than I anticipated but the bathroom was a good size. The balcony was also extremely small. The bed, well that was the problem. The one side sagged so badly that when I sat on it, I was almost sitting on the floor. Lying on it I felt like I was going to roll off. I also felt that I was laying in a V with my head and legs where they probably should have been and my body sagging. Should I have gone done and asked someone if we could change rooms? Yes but I don’t want to be an inconvenience. Also the curtains did nothing to block out the light since they were a good inch or two from the top of the ceiling.

Always find the Lucky clean and the staff very pleasant. Food and drinks in the Hotel are good. Just down the road from the Foghorn Brewery, which is a bonus for me...! Some may find some of the rooms small, but I find them quite funky and mostly the prices are excellent.

Comfortable pub style hotel
A basic but comfortable pub hotel. Rooms are modern and the hotel is conveniently located opposite the tram stop but also noisy with sound travelling into the rooms from the busy street. Downstairs restaurant is very convenient and well presented but Food was well below average.
