the quaint and busy George seemed to always have fresh paint on him and seems to be working hard to make the place a bit better. Keep working George. New carpets and lighting make it nice, but not sure it's at the right price, could be a bit lower I think. Great location.

I have had a very pleasant stay at Hotel 59. George and the other staff were very hospitable, friendly and helpful. I flew in late, but everything was arranged to accommodate me, as it was mentioned in George's personal and kind mail (which I received after booking). The breakfasts were great. Furthermore, the hotel is centrally located. Subway and bus... More

Fellow travelers, I know that you know the importance of friendly management at the places we stay, and I figure that like me, you don't like writing and maybe even decide not to pen a poor review when the proprietors have been pleasant and accomodating. But we all count on this website to give us a real picture, and overall,... More

The staff here, a family, is very courteous and tries their best to be helpful. However, we found the room to be less than we expected. The bedside lights made reading difficult.

Well, the breakfast was just as we heard; cooked to order and a good-sized portion - very yummy! The hotel is very accommodating also! The interior of our double ensuite was clean and included everything you'd... More

I stayed at Hotel 59 from Feb 20 for 4 nights and couldn't have been happier! I was a late arrival so no reception but my key was exactly where George has said it would be in his instructions sent to my by email. The hotel is in a great location, I was a lone female traveller and loved the... More

We found Hotel 59 to be a good place to stay. George, who runs it, is very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is quite well located, within walking distance of the centre of the city, so long as you don't mind a long walk, or close enough to a train station. Breakfast, served in... More
