This is a nice old pub in centre of city. As clean as an older building can be. Staff friendly and helpful. Possibly slightly over priced for what you actually get but would stay again.

When we arrived and went up to our room, the smell was overwealming. It had been recently painted and the room was not ventilated. We thought we could manage that. But when we returned after dinner with friends, we were blocked at the door by security as there was a party on the ground floor. We were not told about this. The security went up and down the hallway where our room was to remove patrons that were drunk and disorderly. By 10:30pm we were tired as we had a long day of driving ahead and security told us the party would be going till 1am. We left and found another place to stay.

We were there Friday and saturday night. Friday night they had DJ music that stopped at 2am. The noise of the crowd and music sounded like it was just outside our window. Saturday night the live band stopped at 1.30am followed by DJ music still going at 2.30am. We couldn't watch TV as the sound drowned out our TV at high volume. Dont expect a good sleep when music is on the menu. It was terrible. Would never book again. Room was confortable enough but both nights we had about 4hrs each night.

The food was amazing. Best surf and turf I’ve ever had and my partners roast pork was the best she’s ever had. The owner and staff are fantastic to meet and talk to. Bed was extremely comfortable. It’s a shame we live 5 hrs away, otherwise we’d be going there for dinner more often.

Conveniently located amenities poor limited and outdated.

Old and run down but cheap👍

Property location convenient. But very old and needs a make over. Services lacking

The Friendly Service was great,Presentation of the hotel and the effort gone into it is Awesome. Our meals were delicious. Our room with ensuite was very clean and bed very comfortable. Thankyou to all who run it. Would definitely go back again. Very enjoyable. Sharon

Excellent service. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere in the old pub and locals made us welcome

Great place

The staff at the Royal were very friendly & helpful. Rooms were clean. Pillows were great, mattress springs had "sprung".... not enough blankets.

I always like to stay in pubs when I can, beautiful old building with original fixtures is great, perfect for my needs and I’ll probably stay again if in town. Thanks to Grant.

Worst experience overall.

Should be listed as a backpackers, no policing on men using ladies ammenities, told where I could make coffee but when I was desperate for a coffee in the morning all that was there was a jug, didn’t know if I was supposed to supply the makings, no ammenities in the room just the bed. However the bed was clean and comfortable, the hall light beaming above the door into the room made falling asleep a task, banging doors along the hallway. The restaurant served large delicious meals, so large I couldn’t finish mine. Check out is carry luggage down the stairs, out the back door via beer garden around the entire building to car parked in the street. This property suitable for back packets, I would never choose to stay there again

not anything like the brochure !

Rooms were tiny and no housekeeping service. Amenities were substandard.

It was standard pub accommodation. The room and facilities were quite basic but that is what you expect from the price. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The building itself has some nice architecture inside. The on street parking is free overnight, but you have to pay from 9am.

Great food, terrible accommodation

Bath wasn't properly cleaned & had to ask for a bath mat. Old room but clean.

Old style pub accommodation

The smell of the stairs was the first thing that put us off when we first entered the building. The bed was very uncomfortable and even the floor carpet felt very dirty and the damp smell was very unhealthy. The hallway smelt urinary and yuck and the pillows look brown and old and yuck. We didn't have access to the fridge to leave our drinks. The shower was so small and the water was dripping not running. It really made myself and my husband really uncomfortable and couldnt wait for the morning to come and get of the place.

good to do a wotif search, book and pay - then arrive - all when 50kms out on the run just brilliant

Nice staff but accommodation feels from 1920s. No breakfast options. Popular dinner menu.

very central to town

I booked this property as it was during a busy period and there was no other option. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find the bed clean, fresh and soft and the room cozy warm. A heater was also provided. The room itself was spacious but very old and shabby. The bathroom was clean, but extremely (extremely) old, cracked, peeling and blackened edges. In saying that, they’d cleaned it as best as possible. This hotel does the job for the price point. Also had a fridge, tv and kettle tea/coffee/milk in the room. Room 19. I think other rooms had shared facilities.

Friendly helpful staff 👍 Window didn't shut, room was not dark.

Place is straight out of the 1950’s if i had of known I would have slept in the car for the night and saved myself $100. Service was non existent and was just too much work for them to find my room key. Never again

It was more than poor and would not recommend

Noisy fellow guests, food mediocre freezing upstairs atmosphere, hasn't been painted in 40 years

windows in room don't close fully , letting in outside noise all night , blinds don't darken room at night because of window above door into passage allows light from passage lights in all night , could almost read in room with lights out , one blanket on bed , start of winter, nothing else in room , heater in room didn't work properly because fan didn't work, so couldn't warm room up , (should ask for money back)

Meals were huge, we definitely didn't need the entree. About 20 different snitzels to choice from. The room and bathroom were very clean. Would stay again if in the area and would recommend this hotel to others.

I liked the look of the place old time old school. But the mattress was hard and the pillow harder. I still enjoyed the stay
