This room was lovely with a huge bathroom with a separate toilet. It was a pleasant surprise. It was my first time staying above a pub and it was not too noisy. I would not recommend it if travelling with kids as there were some interesting people wandering around the hallways in the morning but great for adults. The room was very clean.

Good Value

The room was spacious enough and had a huge bathroom.The shower was easy to use and had good hot water and pressure. The bed was comfortable. Also, it was easy access to the hotel bistro to have a good meal.

You get what you paid for and all I needed was a bed. So I thought it was perfectly priced and the food in the restaurant downstairs was great.

Oh God. Where do I start. 2 glasses of wine $23 during happy hour. When I asked, told too late to change anything. Dinner was delicious. Room under construction and worker's on the front verandah at 6am. Parking not private as advertised. Other pubs provide wardrobes and a bar fridge, not here. Add says tea and coffee provided in the kitchen, no, not even a clean glass or cup on offer. Won't be back

We stayed for one night and can’t complain at all. Our room with en-suite was clean with crisp linen. Bathroom and shower is huge and spotless. The shared kitchen has everything you need. Food and drinks is available at the bistro area, very handy.

Room was extremely small, designed for a single bed only. i Pulled bed in front of door to get around it. Situated this side of gents shower. What a noise of water pipes. I think it’s a workers pub. The hotel itself for meals, drinks etc and staff is fantastic. Front of house would make you believe the rooms would be decent. Photos do not show a true picture.
