Frommer's Review

This hotel offers a fresh European pension-style presence in the heart of the city, 1 block from the Murray Street Mall. It's a 1911 building so it's a bit of a rabbit warren. The entire place has been refurbished over the last 5 years, but still retains its Swedish ambience. It has a comfortable "feel," with wallpaper used throughout. Miss Maud is real: Maud Edmiston started the hotel and restaurant 35 years ago. Many staff have been with her for years, and there's a loyal customer base. Single women find it a safe and comfortable place to stay. Sixty percent of visitors are corporate, and there's a strong European market. There are six single rooms. Two principal aims are to provide sleeping comfort and a good breakfast, so large beds are provided, and there's a fabulous buffet next door at Miss Maud Swedish Restaurant. All windows are double-glazed to eliminate traffic noise.

Facilities:
Restaurant; takeout pastry shop; discounted access to nearby health club; tour desk; car-rental desk; airport shuttle; room service; babysitting; coin-op laundry; laundry service; dry cleaning

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.
