Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers beautiful and comfortable rooms, though assistance for room location could be improved. The service is friendly with a touch of old-school charm. The location is convenient for business in the Dandenongs but shows signs of wear. The dining experience lacked fresh juice but had an elegant evening option. Facilities are generally good but need a slight refresh.
My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. The rooms were nice with outdated 'antique' beds, but lacked character. The service was a bit of a rollercoaster with very helpful staff going out of their way, but also encountering unprofessional behavior from others. The location offered outstanding views but needed a makeover. The dining experience was enjoyable, although it took a bit too long at times.
The hotel offers lovely rooms on one of the back corners with expansive views over the valley. The individual character and deep spa baths were charming, but the dated decor and darkness were noticeable. The service was friendly and attentive, though some staff could be less formulaic. The fantastic location stands out, but it could benefit from a makeover. The dining was a highlight with delicious food, yet limited in cheese and fruit options. The facilities are convenient and enjoyable.
Staying at this lovely place for the weekend felt very special despite the tired rooms that need renovation. The strong fireplace smell and noise were a bit disruptive, despite efforts to adjust the heating.
The hotel offers beautiful rooms with a large balcony overlooking the central courtyard, creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The attentive service adds to the old-school charm, although some aspects could be more personalized. The fantastic location provides easy access to nearby attractions, but the neglected pool area might disappoint those seeking vibrancy. The dining experience offers delicious, fresh dishes, yet the high cost for breakfast may not suit all budgets.
