Visiting kids Lovely hotel, heritage but well taken care of. Quiet good breakfast comfy bed. Far end of building bar with tab good atmosphere. Got a good deal with free drink. bottle of wine . Has special packages now and then. Walking distance to town. Beautiful outdoors areas

To say this is a mediocre hotel would be a complement. The gym is tiny and basic at best, the carpets should have been replaced years ago, the room was small and the furniture in it worn and there was no curtain/door in the shower so water flow out onto the bathroom floor. But worse of all - the bathroom was freezing cold and the water were vary far (very!) from hot, or even warm bed sheets and towels were good and clean and breakfast was decent, I'll give them that

Great place to stay. Would definitely stay there again. Stayed in a room near the main street but couldn't hear the traffic at all. Wish the shower wash was filled up though. It only had enough in it for one shower, stayed for 3 nights. Also had only one roll of toilet paper, had to ask for another. Other than that. Very clean, comfortable bed. Location is perfect

Loved staying here. Got the deluxe king loft room with balcony, was so cozy warm and where the hotel is it was so quiet,staff was so helpful and friendly. Had a bit of a problem with ordering food as the app wouldn't work so had to go to the bar and order,but food was quick. Had chicken snitz with mash with garlic sauce and garlic cheese bread Sourdogh but got no mash potatoes, but dessert was a winner Cheesecake with ice cream. Parking was great and close to the shops, highly recommended i will be coming back.

The room was OK at best in terms of the bed ect. The noisy air-conditioning that pretty much didn’t do anything, the shower had mold in it, room didn’t even have the basics like a microwave which is bad considering the price point. The TV system was impossible to use and even though it said it had Netflix app, did sure at hell didn’t. Couldn’t even connect my phone to the filters stupid tv program to run YT… The sleep was horrible and my wife and I struggled due to the constant banging of doors and the herd of animals upstairs…They allowed a room to be rented to 6 younger boys with mountain bikes who ran a muck all night with no adults…Truely the worst place we could have stayed at in Canberra.
