At Vine Valley Inn, guests describe a quirky, retro hotel in a former pub with spacious rooms, shared kitchen and lounge areas, and a central Cessnock location, plus a simple self-serve breakfast many find a helpful bonus.
Multiple reviews highlight lots of stairs and no lift, making access difficult for those with mobility issues. Cleanliness and comfort are mixed: several praise very clean rooms and comfy beds, while others report dirty carpets or bathrooms, minor maintenance issues, and some street or hallway noise. Service is mostly self-service with easy late check-ins; staff are friendly and helpful when met but not always present. Expect a characterful, budget-friendly stay if you value quirkiness over polish.

This is a budget lodging and is quirky in a nice way. It has its own parking lot. Our only complaint was the street noise. Bring your earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

I chose this accommodation because all the reviews raved about it. How? I don't understand. It was filthy. The carpets looked like they had never been vacuumed, the frame for the shower door was caked with dirt that could have easily been wiped, the mirror was streaked, the walls and doors had other people's dirt that was easily visible (especially in sunlight). I tried to communicate with staff via hotels.com messaging but no answer. The only thing going for this place was the being close to wineries. The fridge wasn't working when we arrived and overnight it froze some of our food. Breakfast was a kitchen with eggs in the fridge, some fruit, bread and cereal. Clean up after yourself setup. You have to lug your bags up 4 flights of metal stairs at the back of the building. I couldn't imagine doing that if you have any disability or you are not fit. Never, ever, ever again and I hope I have helped others who see the 9 or 10 ratings and believe they are booking a great place. Don't make the same mistake i did.

The rooms were beautiful but accessing this property via the front & back is a mission for the disabled. 3 flights at front & 5 flights out back, the property should state the stairs on their website. I also had my number plates stolen from the car park so be very careful with your car overall my stay was ok

King Room in an old style pub that has been turned into a Motel (no pub downstairs anymore). Entry from Vincent St is a little obscure but opens straight up onto a set of stairs with reception counter a climb up 2 flights. Old eclectic pub style accommodation with shared dining room, shared loungeRoom and shared kitchen. Large older king room with private brand new bathroom (which was very clean and bright). Bed was comfortable like sleeping in a marshmallow that wraps around you. Room has bar fridge and kettle with coffee/tea items. Room has own A/C. Free breakfast which you make yourself in shared kitchen. Great selection of breads, cereal, and milks. Also available eggs, fresh whole fruit along with every jam, butter and toast topping you could need. Basic breakfast, but adequate start to the day with a cup of coffee. Lovely old pub, but don’t let the decor turn you off, it’s “eclectic” and quirky! Only down fall is the street noise when some of the local “kids” yell and yahoo down the street on their way home after the other “establishments” close around midnight - thankfully it didn’t last long!

Loved the mid century style of the furnishings in this place. Very cool and funky retro vibe. Felt a bit like living in the past which was a very nice experience. Great service from the person who checked me in. She was friendly and gave me good recommendations on place to grab some lunch. My only wish would be for a more comfortable bed and that is just a personal preference.

Location was central, close to shops and wineries. Beds were terrible, had to change rooms after the first night because it was so bad, next one wasn't much better. Overall, the place was ok, but sleeping there wasn't pleasant. The fridge hummed through the night, light from the hallway shone through the door and bed was painfully uncomfortable.

Perfect overnight stay on my way north - very clean, comfortable and attractive room with new bathroom in an old pub in the centre of town. Lots of vintage charm. Easy checkin, great location near major shops, plenty of parking.

This is a budget lodging and is quirky in a nice way. It has its own parking lot. Our only complaint was the street noise. Bring your earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

Was pleasantly surprised with the place. Looked a little rundown from the outside but rooms were excellent. Great Kitchen facilities as well. Location is great and lots of private parking.

In person check in wasn't offered. I would have liked some local recommendations for dinner after a little ng day of driving. Room #1 is above the street and you can hear everything 😮

Groovy motel with a bit of difference. Right in the action, short walk to vincent st bar. Really enjoyed breakfast.

Dining
Breakfast is self-serve and included; it's basic but generally adequate, with some finding it generous and others underwhelmed. Guests clean up after themselves.

I chose this accommodation because all the reviews raved about it. How? I don't understand. It was filthy. The carpets looked like they had never been vacuumed, the frame for the shower door was caked with dirt that could have easily been wiped, the mirror was streaked, the walls and doors had other people's dirt that was easily visible (especially in sunlight). I tried to communicate with staff via hotels.com messaging but no answer. The only thing going for this place was the being close to wineries. The fridge wasn't working when we arrived and overnight it froze some of our food. Breakfast was a kitchen with eggs in the fridge, some fruit, bread and cereal. Clean up after yourself setup. You have to lug your bags up 4 flights of metal stairs at the back of the building. I couldn't imagine doing that if you have any disability or you are not fit. Never, ever, ever again and I hope I have helped others who see the 9 or 10 ratings and believe they are booking a great place. Don't make the same mistake i did.

King Room in an old style pub that has been turned into a Motel (no pub downstairs anymore). Entry from Vincent St is a little obscure but opens straight up onto a set of stairs with reception counter a climb up 2 flights. Old eclectic pub style accommodation with shared dining room, shared loungeRoom and shared kitchen. Large older king room with private brand new bathroom (which was very clean and bright). Bed was comfortable like sleeping in a marshmallow that wraps around you. Room has bar fridge and kettle with coffee/tea items. Room has own A/C. Free breakfast which you make yourself in shared kitchen. Great selection of breads, cereal, and milks. Also available eggs, fresh whole fruit along with every jam, butter and toast topping you could need. Basic breakfast, but adequate start to the day with a cup of coffee. Lovely old pub, but don’t let the decor turn you off, it’s “eclectic” and quirky! Only down fall is the street noise when some of the local “kids” yell and yahoo down the street on their way home after the other “establishments” close around midnight - thankfully it didn’t last long!

Great value for money 💰 & breakfast included Bed very comfortable. Good of street parking The only thing missing is a meet and greet person, otherwise it’s perfect in a quirky way.

If you want something a little different, those could be it. A hotel *motel* above another building. Older style place, has been updated well and is well presented .

The place was cute and quirky. Loved the decor. Very clean. Ample parking. Quite a few steps which was no bother for us but could be a problem if you have any mobility issues. 100% would stay again.

The property was run down, we had difficulty checking in as there was no reception staff, our key was left in our room, but we needed to be let in by another guest to get it. Parking was onsite. The room itself was clean with a good shower. Continental breakfast was included however there were no staff and we had to help ourselves from the fridge. Overall a poor experience.
