What guests think

At The Cally Hotel, travellers describe a no‑frills, budget, historic pub stay with very basic rooms and shared bathrooms in a central Warrnambool location, offering solid value alongside variable experiences with cleanliness and staff interactions.

Many praise the pub meals and breakfast staff, while a few note limited vegan options and missed meal times. Expect minimal in‑room amenities (frequently no kettle, chairs, or tables) but common basics like TV and air‑conditioning. Noise can carry at night in some rooms. Best for unfussy, budget‑minded stays.

The staff were mostly quite nice, but a couple were really surly and not too helpful. There was not a shared tea/coffee area to be able to make your own when the venue was closed and it was late at night.

First thing to keep in mind is that this is a historic hotel. That means shared bathroom and shower stalls. So long as you're OK with that, this is actually a nice spot. Included split system AirCon and TV, both hard to find at a historic location. Onsite food was good and reasonable. Well worth the price paid.

Lovely little place near the centre of Warnambool. Heater and TV provided and very welcoming. Water is either from the bathroom tap or at the bar (when its open) - so just make sure to fill up if you don't feel like filling from the tap.

Great they offered a family room for 5, however, the shared bathrooms for male and female were a major let down. The bathrooms were freezing cold and slippery tiles made them unsafe to walk on when wet. The staff were very friendly and accommodating when my son spilled his hot chocolate and even heated our vegan home cooked food.

Well it's hard not to be critical because of what the Cally is - an old pub. However during peak school holidays, it was welcoming to get something within my price expectation. There are a myriad of things they could do cheaply to make this a more attractive proposition - a water tap in rooms, a side table with four legs, a lamp, a window that can be opened without breaking your back, etc. The bed was comfy enough though. What can be done really cheaply is accurate information at check in... I specifically asked if I needed to book for dinner and was told Nah, just turn up you'll be right. I arrived and the place was booked out. I was also given the wrong internet password which wasted a whole bunch of time and then a trip back to the bar to sort it out. It was a pretty ordinary experience to be frank, I won't go here again unless desperate. If you aren't fussy, it can be a cheap alternative to overpriced motel rooms that don't offer much more than this.

Only things in the room was a bed and tv. Not even a kettle to make a cup of tea. If you wanted tea and coffee you had to go downstairs and pay for it. On last morning there, there was no loo paper at all in the men’s bathroom.

The accommodation is backpackers style. Friendly and very helpful check in process, particularly as we had two electric bikes with us and they were well taken care of, thankyou. However the communal bathrooms were not looked after. Only one functioning shower for several rooms, obviously the remaining showers had been vandalised without maintenance for a period of time. The premises had been well refurbished but is looking a little tired.

Well below expectations. Knew it wouldn’t be paradise, however expected chairs, or a table at least. Sheets not put on beds, doona cover looks like was used by previous people, just in a blob on beds. Toilet paper/hand towel is obviously a luxury as there wasn’t any. I could go on, very poor and unsatisfactory.

The hotel itself was ok and served a purpose for a place to stay on New Years Eve. Warrnambool is a lovely sleepy beach town and would definitely visit again but would stay elsewhere. The room was dirty, there were dead flies on the windowsill and the wardrobe had holes in it. The shared bathroom was dirty and the shower cubicles weren't very private. I wouldn't stay here again.
