Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were amazing, so stylish and clean, and the location is terrific. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends. The only minor downside was that the room was on the small side, but since I was only staying one night, it didn't bother me much. The rooms weren't soundproof, and there was bright light outside even when the blind was down, so the room wasn't very dark at night.
The hotel is in a superb location in downtown Bowral, close to fantastic dining and shopping options. The rooms are small but adequate for a short stay, though not soundproof or very dark at night. The service was friendly but could be more attentive to room details. The lack of on-site dining is a drawback, but there are plenty of nearby bistro and cafe options. The proximity to the Don Bradman museum adds to the appeal for visitors to Bowral.
The hotel is cozy and fresh, with well-designed rooms for sleeping. However, the rooms are very small, which the photos did not accurately show. The service was friendly overall, though the check-in at the pub was not as welcoming. The location is excellent, close to dining and shopping options. The dining experience lacks on-site options but offers made-to-order sandwiches. The facilities provide a simple and functional stay.
