My review would have been much better, if the room rate and presentation was aligned with its actual condition. Pictures do not match the actual condition of the hotel. Maybe it did 30 years ago. But the place is very run down. I paid for a spacious room and cleaning was good taken the condition of the place into concern. But everything is old - incl. furniture which needed deep throughout cleans. There was a nice cleaning lady one of the days, who cleaned up my self inflicted messy room. That was nice of her. I wouldn’t have booked the hotel if I had read the reviews beforehand. I can only confirm.

Check in/out is digital with reception closed Being unable to access the main building directly from the out building was inconvenient. Digital door entry is problematic for some guests (I was woken overnight by a drunk couple yelling/swearing as they were unable to open the external door) Late complimentary breakfast on weekends which meant I was unable to partake due to timing of work commitments.

Location was very good. Close to shops, Walk along the river. Disappointing that the restaurant was closed but we ate at the Thai around the corner. Very good. We always find that the bed is too hot with a doona. Blankets are not as convenient but a lot more comfortable

For what we had to pay it was not worth it for example the aircon was in a stupid position in the room which was wright next to the bed on the floor

Unfortunately they had 'staffing issues', hence no reception welcome. A young lady tending bar directed me to read a message giving details to enter the room etc. Complimentary breakfast consisted of cereal, yogurt, juice, stale bread and croissants. Coffee machine was the only saving grace. As the restaurant was closed due to the staff issues, we had to dine elsewhere, returning at 8.30pm to find the bar and lounge area in closed and in darkness.

Lovely property but breakfast a bit disappointing- coffee machine broken which was only thing we wanted. Staff nice but bit inexperienced. No welcome area even though it’s a beautiful reception. Plus points were spa bath - great and properly is in great location. Try Cinnamon restaurant next door- fantastic

Gorgeous property with boutique accommodation, awesome service, afternoon cocktails and continental breakfast. It’s like a retreat in the middle of town. We had a queen room and it was roomy, huge tv, you can order a platter if you wanted too. Really loved staying here.

Booking was via internet. All contact was via email or phone. There was no staff on site and that made it an empty experience. did not feel like a luxury event due to lack of personnel.

Huge room with very comfy bed. The breakfast buffet was served in a beautifully decorated room. Not your usual boxes cornflakes etc but instead several choices of cereal, fresh fruits, breads and crumpet. Even a self serve latte/espresso/cappuccino machine. Would definitely stay again.

No reception on site. No restaurant as advertised. Building is undergoing renovations and hasn’t been completed yet still renting out rooms. It’s the most expensive in town yet only offers a continental breakfast and no fox tv.

An unwelcoming and inhospitable arrival No one to greet or check you in. Telephone contact made with some difficulty to get access codes. No manager or person with authority available. Entered through a rear door into a cold dirty hallway. Room generally well- equipped and comfortable once it had warmed up. Breakfast good and served by friendly staff. Overall we felt dissatisfied and that it was expensive for what it was.

Lovely hotel with strong historic charm. Bairnsdale was a small but surprisingly charming little town. We had technical difficulties checking in as we were never sent the access codes and instruction. The entire hotel seemed to be run by only one exceptionally hard working staff member, but she was very friendly and helpful.

Stayed here as I really wanted a spa room and it was the only place that had one available. Just did a search online and the rest was easy. Loved the fact that it was so close to Coles and other shops. The check-in was all via text as there were no staff around. I had a code for the external door and my room and it was reasonably easy. The bed was plush and very comfortable. Everything worked well. View was great. Thought that there could have been more power points in certain places (ie under the main window or the hanging space) and one with a USB port would be good as the tv is up high and could be difficult to get to. Thought the draught stopper was an excellent idea as there is quite a gap under the door.
