Baden Powell Hotel was a great budget-friendly option close to the city, making it easy for me to explore. The rooms were clean and provided good value for money, but some could use better attention to detail. The on-site dining was a highlight, with delicious pizza and craft beers. Overall, I had an enjoyable stay and would consider returning, though there were some rough edges to address.

I had a pleasant stay at the Baden Powell Hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, particularly the king-size bed. However, the size of the room was a bit cramped for two with larger luggage, and the noise from the outside was somewhat bothersome at times.

The Master Room I booked was tidy and featured a huge bathroom. It had little road noise despite facing Victoria Street. I did encounter some noise coming through the bathroom window, and the door didn't close fully, which was slightly inconvenient.
