Craig W. Business - 6/17/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

I have stayed previously so a return client for work..and trying to do on a regular basis..but very small bathroom and AC like 25 deg all night when set to 18. but bed good and room very clean and tidy as always, such a shame. I stay in many accor products all over NSW and ACT on a regular basis for work.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and greatly appreciated a room upgrade. Room was very well appointed and cosy. Lovely breakfast and dinners at the bistro. Staff were helpful and friendly. Thank you

Adam I. Families - 6/16/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

The staff were super friendly and very accomodating, going above and beyond with excellent service! The CBD is within walking distance and the neighbourhood is nice and quite.

Susan F. Couples - 6/16/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

We were very impressed with this hotel, including our checkin experience, the grounds, the location and our room. Another impressive thing was seeing trainees being given on the job experience. Two downsides 1. We tried to sit on front of a fire that had little or no heat, despite the efforts of a staff member to turn up the gas 2. We were VERY disappointed with the food choice on the dining menu. So many dishes included garlic (which I can’t eat). And the food I did order wasn’t very nice. I understand the back area is more of a pub, but it made it hard.

Rachel E. Couples - 6/16/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

We stayed 2 x nights. Our room was clean and spacious. Yes the Hotel is old but still ticks all the boxes. Easy walk to the city centre. Buffet breakfast is quite basic. Would stay again.
