The Bowral Hotel

We stayed at the Bowral Hotel for a couple nights recently for a friend's wedding. Location was perfect - lots of great cafes nearby. Room was newly renovated, clean and tidy. We didn't plan to be there much so it was perfect place to shower and sleep. Service was welcoming when we checked in but didn't have any other interaction with any staff the rest of our time there. Only thing we would recommend they sort out is the door to access the rooms on top of the hotel - every time it's opened it slams shut loudly.

Horrible from start to finish. When we arrived they could not find our original room key so put us in a big room on top of hotel. Very big room but dirty. Someone used the toilet before we came in and did not flush it. Coffee stains at the coffee station that was not cleaned - clearly someone checked out and they did not clean before new guest arrived. Extra bedding is stored in a cupboard full of dust. 10pm the music was so loud in our room that it felt like people were partying inside our room. Upon investigating we realised there is no wall closing off the rooms from the hotel but just a sheet. Walked down to ask for another room and its a bunch of kids operating everything. We managed to move rooms and stayed at the side away from the motel but the floor was dirty and full of dust and the sheets had stains on it.

We stayed overnight on a Wednesday on the rooms just off sites from the hotel. The rooms were a little smaller than expected aand the wheels on the beds were a little annoying, but was very clean and lovely. We went for dinner at the hotel and staff couldn't do enough for us, they made us feel very welcome and comfortable. They were beyond helpful. Great location, food was fantastic and very big sizers. We will be back

Nice modern renovated room, good bed, nice staff and food pretty good. But stayed on Saturday night and it was an absolute nightmare. Not advised there was a nightclub downstairs blaring music until 2am. It was like you were down there it was thumping that loud, not to mention the signing and loud screams from the patrons. So we're not talking background noise, we are talking full concert level music! Friday night was pretty loud too but finished at midnight. Had an event with a 5am start the next day on next to zero sleep. Not happy at all!!! Should be a disclaimer on all booking pages!! Oh, by the way, pigeons also nesting in the roof, but that was the least of the noise complaint.

I stay here often for work and normally have a great experience. The rooms are much better than I ever expect and the service is normally great but the red haired older lady serving on the back counter for meals is terrible. After thinking my service was terrible I’m watching her be rude and uninterested when serving other customers while ordering. I’m also someone who barely ever writes reviews.

Just a warning for anyone staying at the hotel. The rooms are tiny. This was ok for us we made do though on Saturday nights the hotel turns into a nightclub. We could not sleep at all the entire room was shaking. On the way in on Saturday night young teenagers where in the carpark throwing up then going back into the club. Do not stay here.

Around Sunday arvo sharing plate was dirty so went to the kitchen bar to swap but no one was there and it was nt even busy but I can here the staff inside the kitchen. So tried to call them just from the edge of the bar suddenly a bar lady came in frm kitchen and got so rude. She could ve mentioned politely or put the sign or even staff must ve available at the bar. That kind of rudeness towards the customer? Best wishes though.
