Victoria Hotel Toodyay

Clean with good facilities.

Loved the location, being in town. Loved being able to walk from the restaurant to our room.

There were renovations going on so access was affected.

The lay out of the room. The bed size and comfort. Bath room size. Lighting layout and over all a great room for value.

The new room we were in was spacious and spotless. King size bed was comfy. River view was nice.

We understand that all hotels need renovation / construction at some stage, but this was an issue that we think should have been communicated to us prior to arrival, especially considering the restaurant (usually open the night we stayed) was closed. We arrived to a locked front door, with no instructions as to how an arriving guest should deal with this. We could see various people through the glass but as it seems they were contractors, we were ignored. We eventually went into the bottle shop to ask what to do, and they came back and said someone would let us in. So we went back to the front door and waited another five minutes before we were let in. The staff were in some kind of confusion checking us in as well, as they were hassled by what they were dealing with, with the construction happening right there in the front bar. Our room was clearly a very new structure at the back of the hotel (I kinda hoped that a balcony room would be a charming old one with character features overlooking the street, but that's my bad I guess, for not checking), and it was not easy to get to and had a rather unsalubrious entrance up a steep fire-escape style staircase at the back of the hotel amongst old kegs and other fittings. The room itself was lovely. But with only one afternoon and night to enjoy it, it wasn't the peaceful retreat we had hoped with all the banging and drilling. We had to walk up to the Rec for dinner, which was nice... but really, I would have stayed there instead if I knew about the work at the Victoria and that they wouldn't be able to give us dinner. Communication is key, guys!

Bedroom was lovely presented

Lovely newly renovated, would recommend to friends for a short stay. Comfortable stay, good food could have done with a toaster. Otherwise well equipped.

Better access to main hotel
