Guest Reviews
- Donald (9/5): -
- Michelle (9/5): Lovely hotel close to amenities and sites. - Lovely restoration, great bar & restaurant, quiet and very central. Nothing.
- Douglas (6/5): Central location to all that Sale has to offer, good restaurant and parking on site. - The room was very clean and it had a comfortable bed. The bathroom was smaller than some en-suites we have occupied over the years of travelling, the only windows in the room were smaller highlights just under the ceiling (this made the room very dark and claustrophobic.) The cupboard to hang clothes was shared with a bar refrigerator The bathroom was smaller than some en-suites we have encountered over the years of travelling, the only windows to the room were louvered hi-lights situated at ceiling level on the wall, this made the room very dark and claustrophobic.The clothing cupboard was shared with a bar refrigerator and the lighting in the very small bathroom was inadequate for ladies to apply their make up.
- Ravindi (9/5): -
- Anita (7/5): It served its purpose clean and comfortable - Convenience, the pub down stairs had good food We didn’t realise that the room had no windows to look out, so felt a little claustrophobic
- Natasha (7/5): Pleasant comfortable and safe place. - Comfortable and quiet It was a bit Cold, air con kept switching off. Restaurant wasn’t great but young staff member serving was lovely. Hard to fill kettle due to tap in bathroom. Bed comfortable.
- Dennis (7/5): - convenience poor concierge, inability to engage room service
- Pell (9/5): We were very happy with the location. Easy walk to shops and places to eat. We had a great stay. - The location was perfect for us. Close to shops and places to eat. The staff were very accommodating with anything we asked for. We would have liked to have been able to open a window.
- Michelle (9/5): - Friendly staff, the room had everything we needed and the location was perfect for us.
Was just a little noisy at times - rowdy patrons downstairs. Otherwise great stay.
Very comfy bed. It got a bit noisy at times.

- Nils (8/5): A comfortable stay, in a nicely presented hotel - Room was neat and tidy. Bed was clean and comfortable. Had a meal in the bistro, which was good as well.
On arrival, I entered through the bar (I didn't notice the driveway entrance). A manager there was very helpful, getting us checked in easily. Bathroom was a bit on the tight side in regards to space, but more than useable for short stays
- Aaron (7/5): -
- Jessica (9/5): Great room in the middle of town - Lovely clean room, comfy bed, great shower. I liked how flexible the check-in and check-out was. Great value for money and right in the centre of town.
- Joanna (8/5): -
- Greg (7/5): -
- Kenny (9/5): Easy instructions, clean and comfy room, GOOD POWER PORT POSITIONING. - The power ports were right next to the bedside. Very very good for needing to charge phone and my nebuliser. Great that it had all the essentials there. It was a super clean room as well. I came in late, so I didn't have contact with staff, but the instructions were very clear and it was so easy to navigate when I came in late and exhausted. Bonus: the light in the hallway is very fun lol n/a

- Russell (10/5): -
- Mark (8/5): very enjoyable. I will stay there again - The Staff, were very welcoming and helpful. The restaurant was good value and excellent food. The rooms are dark
- Barbara (10/5): Fabulous. - Rooms were great. Quiet and very comfortable. I loved that the restaurant was attached. Great food and service. I couldn’t understand that the doors to the study were on a sensor. Spent 20 minutes looking for the switch. Then when I used the study the sensor kept going off if I was not moving. Not a huge issue though.
- scott (10/5): -
- Ingrid (7/5): - Moet wat het moest doen. Kleine kamer, en kleine badkamer. Met 2 koffers is er al snel weinig ruimte over
- Keith (10/5): -
- Michael (10/5): Would stay there again - Very clean and great location staff were very nice food was good Mattress a little soft and bathroom vanity a little small for a couple
- John (7/5): -
- Deborah (6/5): - The staff were very nice The room was very clean but claustrophobic. Small windows up at the ceiling. Okay for 1 night but not any longer for me. The other room had a larger window but still not at an ideal height.

- Faye (10/5): -
- Peter (6/5): -
- joanne (5/5): - Location was good central to everything The beds are very hard and uncomfortable, the rooms are very small couldn't fit our suit cases in anywhere and no wardrobe for the clothes to go in wasted to much space making a big bathroom
- Charlotte (10/5): -
- Nicholas (9/5): -
- douglas (8/5): surprisingly good we will stay there again. - dinner was excellent with food of a very high standard with service outstanding. we requested quiet rooms at back of hotel, this was done with no issues.. Rooms are small but modern and very clean. no complaints.
- Tilly (7/5): Good location, stylish decor, attentive & knowlegdable staff - Friendly staff accomodating an early check in We did have a bit of a funky smell in our room possibly a water leak from the roof in the bathroom but overall a really nice room and well appointed
- Chris (6/5): -
- Barry (9/5): Excellent stay, this will be my go to place to stay in Sale - Great location, very clean and comfortable Desk chair is too close to the bed
- Tracy (5/5): Don't waste your money - Restaurant food was not bad. Burger and meatballs a little dry. 1st room smelt like a mouldy wet dog. Moved to 2nd room which had very high windows, internal-type room. Dirty. Dust on every surface. Shower needs a good scrub. Taps not cleaned. Both bedside tables had sticky drink rings - not cleaned. Mirror behind door was very dusty and smudgy. Even the lift was dirty - handprints on every surface and tiles not mopped. A power outage for the whole town on a hot night and I know of people who left as their rooms were too hot. No opening windows. Common areas locked when I went to investigate and no staff to be seen, No duty of care to guests who were left in the hotel not knowing what was going on. no staff stayed on site., no information given to guests before they all left. NEVER AGAIN!
- BENJAMIN (10/5): Very impressed - The hotel itself is so well done throughout. Clean and classy looking. The aircon could have been abit better.

- Nix (9/5): Friendly, accommodating staff, comfortable rooms, good quality restaurant. - Beds are very comfortable, and I have a bad back, so that was a welcome change from most hotels. Though the room for one was small, the high ceilings make it feel bigger. Rooms are very quiet. Nice to have a good restaurant attached.
- Julie-Ann (7/5): - Location was great 👍 No views in room, feels small, but was clean
- Kealee (10/5): -
- Martin (10/5): -
- Amanda (8/5): Good location - The room was quite good, had everything we needed, comfortable bed and amenities. It could do with a bit of a total spring clean, a bit dusty and the shower needed a decent deep clean. Overall we were happy with what we paid and the standard of the accommodation . Great location for what we needed We had a meal in the restaurant downstairs which was delicious. The food really was fabulous. We ended the meal and walked in the bar part - it was 920pm. There was a small amount of people in there. We stood at the bar for what felt like a full 5 mins, then was asked "what did you want" - we wanted a drink before bed. We got a spiel on how they had been shortstaffed and had had a really full on day but they could basically manage pulling a beer for us. Then while drinking it staff were busy putting chairs and stools up on tables around us. That put a downer on the evening. We felt like we were inconveniencing them and it was early. It was pretty rude service unfortunately and they are advertised as being open "late" on a Saturday night
- Robin (8/5): - The staff were excellent- helpful, obliging and friendly. The room pleasant and clean. Good coffee - pod machine. Really nice dinner in the restaurant. Sensor lights in very dark corridors slow to go on.
- Susan (10/5): - Easy to find and great food at the restaurant
- gerard (8/5): Lovely staff, good dinner in the bar, comfortable and clean room. -
- pdmancs (10/5): Recommended - Excellent overnight stay at the Criterion. Very comfortable room/bed. Nespresso machine. Bathtub. Twin sinks. Modern, clean, fast WiFi. Good price. Food in the bistro was top notch too.
- peter (4/5): Bad food, uncomfortable bed noisy neighbours - Shower bed, food
- Daniel (9/5): Sale is a lovely town and worth visiting. The staff at Crichton hotel accommodation were welcoming and friendly. - Convenience and proximity to town and walking tracks Beers at bar $13 a schooner at bar.
A 6 pack is $19
- Alysha (8/5): Great stay for a quick weekend away. Had all we needed & in a great location. Parking available. - Very clean little apartment. Perfect for our quick getaway for a wedding.
Bathroom was lovely & shower had great pressure. The room felt a bit smaller than was shown in photos.
Could very easily hear next door neighbours coming and going as the doors shut very loudly.
