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 staff were all very friendly. I look forward to calling in again the next time I'm in the area. They know the menu well and were excellent and accommodating. However, they came in after we were in the room to vacuum but neglected the bathroom. We were welcomed with a drink.

The location was excellent, right behind the pub with no noise, just at the end of town. It was nicely refurbished and fabulous. Check-in was very easy and accommodating with our early check-in. Right in the centre of Bowral for a drink and meal.

Dining is available at the hotel for bistro meals and cafes for breakfast. However, Moroccan pancakes are not available at the hotel, particularly without breakfast.

The hotel offers great facilities. However, there were a few room hiccups for the town centre. A bit of wetness was present as well.

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.
