Nice little hotel in the city.
Room was clean and nice, but small, which can be expected in the city. The bathroom was small but functional. Great location near attractions and transportation.

Short break at Parliament House
Nice friendly and helpful staff with a well-appointed room. Blackout curtains good, but a little short, (with strange TV flashing lights during the night).
Excellent location.

Okay, expensive for what it was.
Pleasant enough, but I thought expensive for what it provided. Breakfast was nice (£18), better value hotels available.

Excellent Stay
We had a wonderful stay at the Parliament House Hotel. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The hotel is located in an excellent location. It is within a 10 minute walk of the Waverly train station. The room was clean and inviting. We had a room on the 5th Floor and had an excellent view of the city. I highly recommend this hotel.
