Guest Reviews
- BarbyJ (9/5): - Comfortable beds and late check on were perfect for our stay
- Aleesha (10/5): - Friendly staff. Comfortable accommodation. Plenty of free parking. Massive bathroom. Bed was a little too soft for us.
- Chrysilla (9/5): -
- Dal (6/5): Adequate for 1 night. - Location Stairs with bags, not safe for older people who have joint issues. Needed dusting. Electric blanket would be brilliant. No tissues or bath products apart from small soap bar.
- Denise (7/5): Great stay highly recommend - Everything nothing

- Sue (8/5): - Easy check in and great to have a place to eat so close by!
- stephen (6/5): -
- Sally (6/5): Amazing staff, comfortable rooms and great food in the bistro. - Rooms were amazing. Very spacious, modern, comfortable and had all you needed. And the staff were so friendly, welcoming and helpful! The shower took a long time to heat up and the water stuttered from time to time. The shower head was also extremely high up and the shower head itself didn’t provide enough pressure so it was very hard to rinse my hair properly. Also the night we stayed there were works happening in the roof-drilling, loud voices-from about midnight for hours. We had an early start and a drive back to Melbourne the next day so due to this we didn’t have a restful night.
- Tilman (2/5): - ./. dirty, at a main intersection, loud
- LIONEL (8/5): - Very close to shops and walkable distances No Microwave in the room but hotel staffs were kind and humble to sort this out in case need to warm up the food. Very nice people 😄
- Jasmine (10/5): Staff where all extremely helpful and friendly - As advertised
- Kelly (7/5): Central location, clean rooms and comfortable bed. - Great location in central Mt Gambier. Easy parking and instructions to access keycard were very clear (we arrived on Good Friday). Small room as expected but the bathroom was updated and a very decent size. The walls were very thin and could hear snoring from a few rooms away. I imagine the noise from the pub downstairs would be easily heard (pub closed during our stay).

- Gabriela (8/5): - Sehr gute und moderne Dusche. Die Betten sind sehr bequem. Es ist etwas ringhörig, aber im Zimmer gab es sogar Ohrstöpsel. Wir konnten jedoch auch ohne diese gut schlafen, der Lärm hielt sich in Grenzen.
- Abdullah Al (10/5): -
- Nghiem Khoa (8/5): - Booked the single bed for a business trip. Honestly very comfortable. Had a nice ensuite for shower and toilet. The extras are nice too. I got a free alcoholic drink and water with my stay Room is a tad small, and it can be dim. Low light despite the sun and lights.
- Matthew (8/5): -

- Blake (8/5): Comfortable, reasonably priced and friendly staff - Bed was comfy and room was reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly Only issue was sound from trucks and cars passing by. Wasn’t too bad but was a little louder than expected
- Judy (4/5): Brief and disappointing - The refurbishment was good One TV didn’t work, the shower made loud banging noises and it was near impossible to get right temperature- many area - chair, banisters, crockery - were not clean.
- Elizabeth (7/5): Nice stay not great - Clean and fresh. Comfortable bedding. Hot showers Pub food average
Outdoor balcony area had an overflowing bin and a carton of empties that were there all day. Noisy in the morning with traffic and emptying of bins

- Kelvin (8/5): -
- Williams (9/5): - Service was excellent Rooms where clean and tidy and up to date
- Louis (1/5): Noisy area, crappy room, checked-in by bartender, walked in the room, washed my hands, lied on the bed to look for alter - Nothing to like other than leaving 10 minutes after checking-in. Old, noisy, smelly, towels were grey and worn out thin.
- Ilaria (7/5): - das zimmer und vorallem das bad das ganze erdgeschoss
- Tania (9/5): Overall the stay was excellent - The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, quiet location, staff excellent Body wash was empty, vanity basin could be bigger or put the tap/spout in the corner not in the middle, hand soap in a pump bottle instead of cake of soap. The shower drops but can only hear it in bathroom.

- Allister (8/5): Value for money. Clean. Cosy. Comfortable beds. Helpful staff. Will recommend again if visiting Mount Gambier. - Cleanliness. Modern design. Cosiness. Helpful staff. Housekeeping only available until 12PM. Toilet not properly cleaned once, but attended next morning once informed reception.
- Sam (8/5): Will come back again - Location & easy parking
Staff very helpful and friendly
The Bistro & bar
Sitting area upstairs Nothing really
- Jamie (6/5): -
- Ting (8/5): - It had everything we needed for a overnight stay. The rooms were generally clean The after hour check in lock really needs some oil in them. It took us 1 hr to open it at 2 am in the morning, freezing cold and we all just stood outside, the hotel did not have after hour emergency number there was no one to help, we had to ask chatGPT what to do
- Michael (8/5): -
- Ryota (10/5): -
- Joel (1/5): We ended up booking somewhere else and not staying at the property - Staff was friendly This is more so an issue with booking.com, but we did not get the room that was advertised and booked on our end. The hotel was at full capacity and had nothing they could do to resolve the issue. The room we stayed in though was not very clean. We were only in the room for about 5 minutes before leaving, but the bathroom didn’t look very clean and the bin by the toilet had not been taken out after the previous guests and the items left in the bin were pretty gross. Overall very disappointed with our booking
- Judith (8/5): Good value for money - The room was updated, comfortable and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful and there were a range of shops nearby. I would recommend staying here.
- Adam (8/5): Very comfortable,easy to find,close to city centre. - Excellent staff service-even kept hot meal for our late arrival.Always polite,friendly & helpful 🤗 No toaster or microwave.
No place to hang clothes
Noisy guests,but bathroom fan helped to block out a lot😁
- Niniveh (8/5): We had an excellent accommodation❤️ - I like the beds because it was immensely comfortable. The place is clean. I love the welcome perks like coffee, sugar, milk, and water since I am a coffee lover. There is one lacking inside the room which is very essential for us travellers, it would be best if there is microwave available so we can reheat our food especially if we want to eat on midnight or early in the morning. Thank you! We had a lovely experienced in your hotel.
- Matthew (8/5): -
- Mathilde (7/5): - Der manglede rengøring
- Alex (10/5): - It was perfect. Wonderful, slept and ate very well.
- Colin (7/5): -
- Griffiths (4/5): Honest Review - The room was spacious and clean. Check in was fast and efficient. Good water pressure in the shower. Housekeeping or staff have gone through trash after our checkout. As a result a note that was written by the person I was staying with was read. A note that was clearly a joke and not to be taken seriously whatsoever. The police were called on me and I had to explain the whole situation (which I was unaware of at the time) to them. Needless to say they were not impressed with having their time wasted. What was otherwise a really nice stop over was ruined because the housekeeping staff seem to rummage through people's trash.
- david (5/5): overall, it served its purpose and was affordable. Just not very comfortable or practical. - I liked how clean bathroom it was.
i liked the USB charging port.
Liked the soft blanket and clean pillow and sheets.
Liked the staff at reception, very friendly and helpful. No toaster.
No cutlery.
No plate or bowl.
Bed way too soft, uncomfortable.
Hot water took nearly three minutes running to get hot in shower.
Doors from other rooms closing at night was very loud and noisy inside the room(which explains why you left earplugs for guests)
- Dumindu (5/5): -
- Abby (10/5): -
- Justin (7/5): Perfect for 3 days in Mt Gambier, location was great for walking, very clean, cool and comfortable - Room was just what was expected for the 3 of , air conditioning was brilliant as it was hot and noisy outside, beds were extremely comfortable and the shower, bathroom was clean and with lots of hot water and strong flow TV reception was poor and we had to rely on our own streaming accounts
- Katayoun (10/5): Perfect - Perfect
Friendly staff Nothing
- Carolina (6/5): - Was comfy but no clean. Toilet dirty, cups of coffee dirty.
- Mary (7/5): Was surprisingly quiet for its location on the main drag. Only stayed a night but was comfortable. - Close to all town facilities, dinner at the adjoining pub was lovely. Staff were friendly and helpful. We were only provided 1 towel for 2 people.
- Ken (7/5): A comfortable stay, albeit a little noisy early in the evening due to the traffic outside. - Clean room, comfortable beds. The reception staff were very friendly. There was a fair bit of traffic noise, but it was quiet later in the evening.
- Eric (4/5): Average - Bathroom Very small room
- Saurabh (8/5): Overall enjoyed it - Location and the rooms Hot water in the shower was bit challenging
- michael (8/5): -
- camelia (9/5): - The place was clean and the staff friendly. Supermarket was a short walk away and the 10% discount at the pub was helpful as we arrived late the first night and we were able to enjoy there delicious schnitzels. We had the up stairs balcony room which had access to a small outdoor dinning area. Would have loved to be able to open the fire door to the back balcony, but it was a fire exit only.
- Jasmine (10/5): I will stay here the next time I visit the Mount - The staff were lovely, thoughtful, and kind
- Diana (10/5): A nice gem - The location is central to many prime attractions. The room is clean, nice firm beds and surprisingly there was no noise pollution from the pub! Only from the guests who stayed above. Receptionist was welcoming None
- Tracey (8/5): Clean tidy and great staff - Clean, tidy and great staff
- Martha (8/5): -
