We stayed in the "Princess" room at the Criterion which has its own bathroom. It is an old hotel but the room has been refurbished and is great value for money. Very spacious and lots of old world charm. There is a pub downstairs so a bit of noise from that but convenient for dinner. We stayed during the week so wasn't that noisy.

We booked a veranda room for an overnight stay. Loved that the hotel had a lot of history and the vintage look. Room was very spacious and comfortable and that it opened up onto the veranda that overlooked the main street. The shared lounge/tv room also had coffee making facility. The shared bathroom was very clean and tidy, also had a iron and ironing board. We will differently book again to stay here.

Only problem for me as pensioner was no chair to sit on in room. Simple straight back chair would have been useful. Also handrail on 3 steps on 1st floor landing between lounge and room 14 where I stayed.

It is central to other towns, convenient, easy parking, no cleaners on weekend and as a result, bins in toilet & bathrooms are over flowing. Buckets on hallways for water leaks. Lack of ventilation. I recommend it for stop over of a couple of days. Good for adult travels and work for its convenience but not with children.

my rating is base on the fact that A: the hotel is quite an old building so so modern facilities are limited or non existent B: in regards to noise this is a pub in the centre of the Warwick CBD so noise is to be expected. The room was bare but the bed was comfortable and the pub central to everything (well almost everything). The staff were friendly at check in. I enjoyed my stay and would be happy to book again.

Tidy and neat typical old hotel accommodation. Not much information on check in and did not know what to do with the key when we left. When we left at 8 am, hotel was locked and no staff to speak to or give the key to. Had to return later in the morning to return the key. That was inconvenient.

We stopped for an overnight stay, very noisy has we were told there was a function on being a Saturday night. But the noise continued for most of the night with people running up and down the hallway (which was timber in the section we were in) and standing in the hallway talking. We had no blind or curtain covering our window (our room faced the center of the building), so lots of lights were shining in. We had a shared bathroom which was very clean. In our room we had a basin, when we turned on the cold-water tap (only one that worked) the water was brown.

It was under difficult circumstances we stayed as we were up there for the funeral of our 18 year old son. A couple of day prior to arrival I rang to check if it had a second bedroom for our nearly 13 year old son . I was told that someone would ring me the next day which never happened .when we checked in one large bed and I enquired as to where the third was . It was a mattress under the bed so we dragged it out and put in lounge room . It took a while for lady to come back with the linen but understandably Friday night and they were busy . The day of the funeral actually that night my son asked about a towels he apparently dripped dried in the morning as they forgot to bring him a towel . The internet was woeful but we were told they were having issues, and the shower kept going from hot to very cold - extremely frustrating. Be warned though there are some pretty steep high steps - I have neck shoulder and knee injuries and getting suitcases up was near impossible for my husband and my son . My husband also has knee injury . Overall not bad but for us it was difficult in a few certain areas …

Some of the patrons shod probably seek counselling or check into rehab. The staff deserve a 10/10 for all the crap they put up with. Thank you, we enjoyed our stay there.
