What guests think

At Yarra Valley Grand, travellers note a charming historic pub setting but also signs of age such as creaky floors and dated fittings, alongside recurring plumbing and hot-water problems and occasional noise from traffic, shared areas, or the venue.

Service is widely praised as friendly, attentive and efficient. Food and continental breakfasts are well liked, with positive comments on dinners and coffee. Rooms include a few quirky suites; comfort varies, and some access involves stairs. Expect a character stay with excellent staff and old-building trade-offs.

Steeped in history and alive with vibe ! We were greeted with the best service possible - even asked if my bag needed carrying up stairs :) We were very lucky to squeeze in for dinner and we were not disappointed - entree was the japanese pancakes which were a delight and for mains the barra was sensational and the mash creamy and salted to perfection. The wait staff were THE most EFFICIENT, helpful and hard working i have had the pleasure to watch work the floor - a credit to them all. We elected to stay in the tower room and it was amazing, eclectic and full of surprises and treasures. We would definitely stay again and thank you for such an experience.

Stayed overnight for an early morning balloon ride, which was the perfect location for the scheduled meeting place, being a 2 minute walk up the road. We stayed in the Melba Suite, which really could not be considered a suite, however, it was very clean and comfortable, except fo the old four poster bed, which squeaked and squarked with every move. And it was the same for the old creaking staircase leading upstairs to the rooms! Parking is in an open dirt carpark beside the pub and accessible by everyone attending the pub. Overall I feel the overnight stay was overpriced for what you get.

The staff were all good, very helpful and obliging. The hotel has obviously been a tremendous building over the years, but is in need of a lot of TLC. The lighting is poor and it would brighten the place up a bit if some appropriate modern lighting was installed. Our bed was not that comfortable, but a couple of wines the second night made it a bit better. There is no lift in the hotel, so luggage has to be carried upstairs by hand. The shower is above the bath and not the best for elderly guests. On the better side, the continental breakfast, whilst pretty basic, is ample. Finally, would we stay at this hotel again - probably not, but it was certainly an experience on this particular stay.

We arrived after 2pm for a wedding and our room when we got in was not cleaned. We had to go for a drink to wait for cleaning to be done. As wedding was at 4 ,didn’t leave much time for us to get ready. Air conditioning was poor . Overall not a great experience

Our stay in the Yarra Room was very comfortable, and the period furnishings are lovely. It was very convenient to the winery where we were attending a wedding. The staff were lovely. The only downsides were the shower, which had terrible water pressure, and a shared balcony which ran along the front of the hotel - beautiful, but there were people sitting outside our room at midnight making a bit of noise. That's outside the hotel's control though, I guess.

To be honest, our stay was curtailed by a water supply issue. We were told the water would be off for 4 hours so we found another hotel and checked out before our first night. Andrew was very helpful and sympathetic to our plight and arranged a full refund. As to the hotel itself, it was not as Grand as the name suggested. A bit run down and in need of a refurb. Staff (in particular Andrew) were excellent though.

We were also offered a complimentary breakfast the next morning, just the thing we needed to start off our journey home. We will definitely return the next time we need to stay in the area. And would highly recommend this to our friends and family! Thanks for a pleasant stay! :-)
