The location of the Beresford on the edge of the City centre is extremely convenient - this was great for a long weekend walking around the city, which we loved.
Unfortunately, depending on the room you are given the hotel is right next to both a train and tram track, which go to around 12.30am each night, which can be quite distrubing.
The room was clean and okay but the mattress needs to be replaced, unfortunately most of the support had gone in the middle and we rolled into the middle most night.
The building is lovely, well doecorated and kept very clean. However it is a very old building so the floorboards all around the rooms and hotel squeak and creak. We were woken up by the room upstairs at 4.30am as they clearly got ready to check out because the floorboards and banging was so loud. This could be mitigated but guests have to be self-aware enough.
The breakfast at the hotel was really lovely, well worth adding to the room. It has various options but it's kept hot and fresh, with servers providing fresh tea and coffee as well.
The staff are really helpful and attentive as well - so all in all we would give this 4 stars - we probably just needed a different room.
