Royal Exchange Hotel

What guests think

At Royal Exchange Hotel, guests highlight historic art deco charm, central Broken Hill location, and friendly service, alongside clean, comfortable rooms, while noting drawbacks such as closed on-site dining, some small or dated spaces, street-only parking, and no lift.

Many appreciate quiet rooms, period decor, and occasional balcony access; some find bathrooms compact or configured as shower-over-bath. Service is frequently described as friendly and accommodating, with smooth check-in and helpful local tips, though a few guests found reception unhelpful. Cleanliness is generally strong across rooms and bathrooms, with only occasional maintenance issues like peeling paint or faulty fixtures reported. Expect a characterful, central stay with limited amenities and warm service.

Gorgeous old building, friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable bed and good selection of pillows. Quite noisy - from the street (as would be expected on a busy corner - which is also very convenient for getting around town) - but also through our wall from inside. Woken by very loud banging very early each morning - perhaps from the cleaner's closet between the end rooms. Could be amazing with a little update - looks a little tired and the balcony will become unsafe without some serious restoration soon. The dining room (only used for a continental breakfast) is crying out to be an art deco cocktail bar! Overall, excellent for a casual and generally relaxing stay.

There is no bar area at the hotel and the lounge and dining areas were closed on both nights (Mon & Tue) Advised they would be closed for the foreseeable future. Therefore no indoor areas to relax apart from my room. Only on street parking (max 4 hours during the day) across from the hotel. The cost for the stay did not reflect the lack of amenities offered

The staff were friendly and our room was cleaned well every day. There were bathrobes included for our use which is always a plus. The bed was comfy and we had access to the wide balcony. We did not use the breakfast facility but were disappointed that there was no possibility for sitting in the lounge after 5.30pm as they locked it up.

This property is marketed as a 5 star hotel with pictures of an attractive dinning room other and bar. It says parking available. Disappointingly it is more like an understaffed boarding house - there is no service in the dinning room other than a motel style sketches; breakfast there is no drink service except the usual motel type overprice ‘minibar’;there is no parking other than on the street where time limits apply; reception was unhelpful - when I asked what were good dinning option I was told ‘just go down the street there are plenty of things open’. Not withstanding that the room and bedding were of a high standard. Pity, with a bit more effort could be an outstanding option. Need to try harder

Sadly the Royal Exchange in Broken Hill is well past its glory days. Rooms are tired, beds are old, showers over baths are outdated, and the so called deluxe balcony rooms open up onto a balcony that is taped off midway due to the poor condition of the timbers at the front half. There are many other accommodation options in Broken Hill for similar or in some cases cheaper prices that are far better. Time for the Royal Exchange to either upgrade, close down or become a budget option, as the current pricing is not commensurate with the facility provided

Also, the wifi coverage was no good in our room despite staff telling us "it should be OK" it simply wasn't. It would be nice for this to be fixed so we would get what we paid for.

We had car problems so it delayed our arrival by 48 hours, which they gladly pushed back for us. When we arrived the room was very clean and the air conditioner had the room lovely and cool. They even upgraded us to a larger room as they were a bit quieter than usual. Will stay here for sure the next time we are in Broken Hill.

A massive thank you to everyone at the Royal Exchange - right from giving lots of dinner recommendations when I checked in, then letting me extend my stay at the last minute, and then especially to Ray as I was leaving, who let me stay in my room past check-out time, then insisted I stayed in their (very comfortable!) Lounge while waiting for my flight, and then spent ages calling around taxis who didn't come and eventually arranging for a local tour bus driver to run me to the airport. After being looked after like that, I wish I could stay forever!
