Take it easy in Battery Point, where a maze of narrow laneways will reveal quaint cafés and galleries to intrepid wanderers.

Pick a path through the waterfront alleys to find a jumble of 19th-century cottages that huddle against the sea breeze like wharfies lining up at the docks. Working-class history is etched into this neighbourhood’s heritage architecture. Visit one of its revered bakeries and you might want to leave a trail of crumbs for your return journey. The glamorous strip of Salamanca Place will lure any bon vivant with its artisans’ markets, providores and award-winning restaurants.

Fantastic value for money, location is actually excellent being out of the centre but still close. Neighbourhood perfect for some nice and interesting walks. I would definitely stay again. Down to earth, modest, but has everything for a couple of nights stay.

Room was spacious & had most of the things you need. Overall rooms are due for an update as floor tiles in kitchen & bathroom were cracked & chipped. Kitchen cupboards also need a few additions like microwave containers, oven trays etc. But overall great location & would recommend.
