    Service at reception on checking in on Friday afternoon was poor. The reception staff were abrupt and unwelcoming . This contrasts to the staff in the wintergarden restaurant at dinner on Friday night who were excellent

    I was running in the UTA trail race so I had to leave before breakfast was served . My husband had breakfast which he said was average. Location was great Obviously road works outside were a detractor

    A few things I would change - It would be great if they offered room service, as I am very lazy :) - I would have eaten at the restaurant again the second night if there was a better range of mains, although the food is very good I wish there were a couple more options (or at least a couple of rotating options an evening). -I wanted a cup of tea before dinner, at about 4.30 so I tried to order that at the reception/bar area. They told me they didn't serve tea until later so I had to go all the way to other end of the hotel to the Pavillion to get one. I don't understand why you can't get it from the bar all day when the machine is right there. -I wish there was a spa or something on premises, there is not that much to actually do at the hotel other than eat and you can only really eat according to their set times. Obviously there is lots to do in the area but sometimes I just want to enjoy the hotel.

    My room was very lovely. It was a decent size with an incredible view of the valley. The bathroom was really gorgeous with maybe the best view from the toilet I have ever seen. It was also very quiet. It was nice and warm and the bed was cosy. We ate dinner at the restaurant one night. It was delicious and well cooked. I had the steak and my partner had the duck. Staff were very attentive and friendly and the winter garden is just a really beautiful place to eat! We also had the buffet breakfast which was way better than I expected. The eggs were cooked nicely (soft and custardy) and not the usual dry as a bone type you get from a buffet! The selection was great and we were super stuffed to go out on an adventure. It was well worth the money. On our last day we had the high tea, this was also delicious with friendly staff. We got a window seat and I could have sat there all day just looking out at the valley. It's so beautiful. I thought the whole place, although old (which personally I find very charming) is well maintained and clean. All the public areas are gorgeous. Wifi was really good. Bathroom amenities are nice, towels quite big. Wish it had bathrobes though!

    There were many cowwebs in the windows and glass panels for the view in the lobby area. As a luxury hotel good if so much sow webs are not seen by the guests. Why no piano playing in the weekends? Vey disappointing to see a grand piano with no one playing.

    We love the old charm this hotel was decorated. The hot chocolate and cake for the day was so yummy. Good breakfast and dinner in the wintergarden restaurant was classy with the super sunset views

    Given their reputation was just underwhelmed with my stay overall. The staff (apart from during dinner) were not very attentive and was difficult to get any service in the cocktail bar at all. Dinner was nice but again expected more from a hatted restaurant. The TV in the room was mounted on the wall beside the bed making it impossible to lie in bed and watch. Experience overall wasnt any better or different from any of the other (cheaper) hotels I've stayed at close by in the area.

    The building was beautiful and view amazing. Rooms were comfortable.

    I was very disappointed in the size of the rooms, given the price per night. Limited space in the room for an additional suitcase - there was a luggage stand for one. While the bed was comfortable, the pillows were like - one is not enough and two is two many. The breakfast buffet was $39 per person, which didn't particularly suit us as we are not big breakfast eaters. It would be nice if the cafe on site provided an additional option for those who would prefer to order off a menu.

    I have always wanted to stay at the Hydro Majestic and finally got the chance while doing a road trip around New South Wales. I was very impressed with the renovations that have been done to the common spaces throughout the building. The bed was very comfortable and the toiletries were very good. The view of the valley from our room was beautiful.

    The carpet could have done with a vacuum and the exhaust fan in the bathroom sounded like a 747 on take off. I am sure they will fix that.

    It's a beautiful hotel and we have been past it 2 or 3 times every going to Bathurst but never stayed. Stopped once for a coffee and was intrigued by its history. Glad we finally stayed but check in staff don't make you feel warm and fuzzy. Having to drag your bag up 3 lots of stairs was a bit ordinary. Ok for me but I am sure some people would struggle with that. It reminded me of the titanic segregated by class. Quite an experience but one we have wanted to do.

    The roadworks made it awkward to get in and out and it was difficult to find the reception. Bedside lamps need to be brighter for reading

    The hotel decor was stunning, the staff friendly and helpful, the amenities superb and the valley views magnificent. The breakfast was delicious too. We loved the history tour with the very knowledgeable James.

    The parking can be a little stressful in that it barely has enough spaces.

    It is what it is. A glimpse of the past with a wrapping of technology and modern lifestyle.

    No room service Restaurant and food service closes at 8/8:30pm Valley View Rooms very small for the amount you paid. Exterior of the Hotel looks tired however inside was great. I met a couple who spent their 40 Wedding Anniversary there and the specifically asked for a View room with Breakfast included but were told in checking in they didn’t have there room. Staff didn’t help them or upgrade them. Also met another couple with a similar issue.

    The View of the Mountains were amazing. The Staff were very friendly and helpful but some were not up to what happens within the Hotel.
