The Classic Villa Review

This 1897 central city home is riddled with history. It’s been a chaplain’s house, student flats, and an old folk’s home; now it’s a stylish, boutique hotel right in the heart of the action, opposite the Arts Centre. Upstairs accommodations were added in 2004. These rooms are modern, lighter, and sunnier than the original downstairs rooms, but the downstairs rooms have much more architectural character. The large, shared downstairs dining and sitting rooms open onto a small private garden where you can enjoy a quiet drink after a day sightseeing. Despite its size, it has a strong feeling of home and is a little more personable than nearby Orari. They also have a Qualmark Enviro-Silver rating.

Facilities:
Bar; bike rentals; concierge; nearby golf course; nearby gym

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
