What guests think

At Berida Hotel, travellers praise the charming, historic decor and welcoming staff, handy location near town, and enjoyable on-site bar and restaurant, while noting some rooms are compact and occasional noise or water-pressure issues can affect comfort.

Facilities include cosy lounges, a games room, gym and an EV charger, though the pool or spa have at times been closed for maintenance, and there is no lift, making upstairs access and luggage handling difficult for some. Housekeeping standards are typically high, but isolated reports note stale smoke smells or towels not replaced. Ideal for a cosy, boutique-style stay in Bowral.

Historic property in a central location. Comfortable beds in clean well appointed rooms. On-site restaurant, whiskey bar, games room and gym make it a great spot for family or friend groups. We found our room to be noisy which at the price point downgraded the rating to good rather than great.

It’s a gorgeous property with lux yet calm decor, comfortable bed and lovely fittings. There was some renovation work happening while we were there and the gym not open in the mornings but when accessed in the afternoon we found a terrific gym set up. The restaurant in which we had breakfast and dined one evening has a lovely atmosphere however could have used at least one additional wait staff and a speedy barista on duty in the morning. Staff were all very helpful.

Absolutely beautiful decor and so lovely to be in a renovated old-world building. Pool was fabulous and had a rail going down the steps into the pool, which is great for those with mobility issues like mine. Sadly the spa was not available as it was undergoing maintenance. I'm not sure how easy it would be to get into though but maybe that is being addressed by the maintenance activity. Sauna is a dry sauna and even after 45 minutes I was not sweating. So, it would be good if you could add water to the rocks. It was great that shower/bathrooms were available to use near the pool and gym and they are spacious. Gym was good too. Room we stayed in was lovely and while not large was an adequate size. Overall this is a lovely place to stay.

A lovely stay was had a Berida. We felt quite spoilt. Our room was very comfortable, facilities incl pool and gym were excellent as was the staff. The "icing on the cake" was the quality of the food presented at dinner and breakfast.

Lovely hotel and convenient for a walk into town. Warm reception by staff and cute bars available. It’s a shame about the fact the pool and spa area has been out of action for months now and still looks in same state as it was when stayed here 4 months ago. However decor great/ average to good restaurant ( waited for meal for ages then both starters and main came almost on top of each other- would have preferred to wait in between courses). However all in all I would stay here again

Overall it was a lovely stay. Staff was friendly and hotel was clean. However room layout was a bit odd (no table near a socket to boil a kettle and so had to boil the kettle by the bed side table). Service was a bit slow in the restaurant. The games room was great and so was the EV charger at the car park.

The property was beautiful and recommend to stay there. It’s peaceful and has everything there that you don’t need to leave. The only thing is that some of the main spa tiles could be replaced and pool floor needed a clean but next to it they are putting a new gym so could be things from there falling into pool. Loved this place and would go back there. Cute and elegant little town also.

It is over priced. The room we got costs more than $400 per night. But it only has a small home aircon and not central heating. It was so noisy and could not sleep due to the aircon noise. Also the bathroom is freezing cold without any heating facilities. They did not change our towels. They just left all dirty towels in the bathroom. We are not definitly staying there again.

If staff gives you key to room #20 - refuse to check in. It's a dark sad broom closet overlooking dirty overgrown pathway with windows from another building right across it. Located in the middle of a lobby area with music pumping day and night and people passing by from the restaurant to the bar. The vibe of a cheap pub room and impossible to stay inside the room due to noise. The staff of this hotel follows the typical "you booked 1 night through expedia, so let's shove you into our worst room" pattern. Checked the availablity on the night we had checked in - rooms were available so clearly hotel had other rooms to offer that night. Will skip next time, should have booked Links or one of Peppers but was drawn to the design and their f&b outlets. Decided not to spend my $$ in their bar or restaurant as they clearly did not respect the $$ already spent on the room.
