“Gothic old Hotel close to the town”

This hotel is rather gothic and has a certain kind of charm. It is a few minutes walk from the centre of town and a variety of cafes and restaurants. Don't expect anything fancy.

This hotel is rather gothic and has a certain kind of charm. It is a few minutes walk from the centre of town and a variety of cafes and restaurants. Don't expect anything fancy. Our upstairs room was very sparse and basic. No cupboards (or anyhting to hang your clothes on or TV, kettle or a fridge. The room was very small and contained one double bed and a bunkbed (it would have been very crowded if we had had 2 more people in the room!) and one powerpoint. However the Wifi was very good. Shared bathrooms are down a very long hallway which I found very spooky at night. There is a large kitchen area in the basement with a microwave, toaster, fridge and kettle and where you can help yourself to a basic breakfast of cereal, toast and tea. There are a lot of stairs and they are very steep. So if you have any mobility issues or are elderly I would recommend booking a downstairs room. There was no airconditioning. Just a fan in our room. So luckily the weather wasn't too hot during our visit! I can imagine that it would be freezing during the winter months. I can't comment on the management because we never saw them: our keys were left to be collected on a sideboard in an envelope with our names written on them in the foyer entrance. Overall we enjoyed our three day stay at this hotel. But considering the price of the room they could do a few upgrades and renovations!

“Great Stay!”

We stayed in one of the "miners cottages" and was not disappointed. It was very quaint and comfortable. It was very hot but the air conditioner and the fan kept us very comfortable.

We stayed in one of the "miners cottages" and was not disappointed. It was very quaint and comfortable. It was very hot but the air conditioner and the fan kept us very comfortable. The location was well within walking distance of the fabulous town of Beechworth and with so much to see, we didn't spend a whole lot of time in our room, however, it was close enough to come back to for a little rest before heading out again on foot to dinner. Just a warning though, the water pressure is fast, so you only have to JUST turn on the shower or if you've brought your snorkel and goggles, go for it! A lovely stay. Many thanks Angela

“Interesting for one night”

Actually nothing wrong with the place. Bathrooms were clean, bed was comfortable and location was great. Obviously bikes can’t be kept in the room, I don’t have a problem with this in any way.

Actually nothing wrong with the place. Bathrooms were clean, bed was comfortable and location was great. Obviously bikes can’t be kept in the room, I don’t have a problem with this in any way. There was a secure bike shed available, but given the site was self checkin no one had any idea how to access the shed. Quite poor given the bikes had to be kept in our cars overnight! WiFi was horrible, mobile reception poor, room was 2m x 4m and just a bed. Breakfast was cereal, toast & coffee. There was no milk for cereal or coffee. It was interesting for one night but I’ll go elsewhere in future.
