Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with a nice view, but some noise and minimal facilities. The service was friendly and helpful, especially the lady maintaining the tidiness. Its location in the center is ideal for those visiting the Mount Buller Snow area. The dining experience was pleasant, although the manager's attitude could be improved. The facilities are basic but satisfactory.
The hotel is located right next to communal Gents & Ladies toilets and opposite the outside door, leading to disturbance from passing guests all night. However, for $80 a night, I got what I expected with these old-school pub rooms.
I stayed at a hotel with shared facilities. The mattresses and pillows were comfortable, but the noise from people passing by all night and street sounds were quite bothersome. The location was good, close to attractions, but the dining options were limited. The service was top-notch with friendly and efficient staff.
