What guests think

At Hotel Canobolas, travellers praise the central location, friendly staff, and solid value, while noting that rooms and bathrooms are dated, maintenance can be patchy, and the lively pub and courtyard below may bring noise into some rooms at night.

Many find rooms clean with comfortable beds and good showers, though several report dust, peeling paint, drafty windows and occasional TV reception or heating issues. The on-site bistro and bars are popular for tasty meals and guest discounts, but some diners mention small portions, average dishes or a very busy atmosphere. Expect a budget-friendly, centrally located pub stay with character, prioritizing location and value over modern finishes and complete quiet.

Great place to stay, right in the heart of Orange town centre (and also close to the train station). Rooms were spacious, as was the bathroom, which was a bit dated but very clean. The food in the bistro downstairs was great, and the free drink voucher and 10% off food voucher was a nice little extra surprise. Plenty of parking in the hotel car park. Really great value for money, and we’re already planning a return visit!

Great location and convenient to have the pub on the ground floor to enjoy a drink & dinner. Bathroom was OK (no shower curtain, very noisy fan) and poor TV reception. Overall, a bit noisy with music from the pub.

Basic accommodation as reflected in the cost, but clean and comfortable. Fully booked with events in town so no parking available, which was an issue, but the dining room staff were exceptional. The dining rooms were full to overflowing but the staff were friendly, professional and efficient. Impressive.

This place is in major need of some TLC. Gross sticky floors and paint peeling off the walls. Ok for the money I guess and it was very central. The bed was comfortable. Bar staff were not overly friendly. Overall it was kind of scary for a single girl travelling alone. If you can afford something better definitely do it.

Overall the hotel was good, however the staff was uncooperative, The electric kettle was dirty when i checked in, One of them advised that wash it from the hot water running in the Toilet tap, which is ridiculous. They have a bar and restaurant downstairs and could have easily done that that there for me. Looks like poor hygiene practices in this place.

Staff were great with a late check in on our first night after a late arrival from Sydney, and then all through the stay. Dinner was nice in their Bistro with a surprising array of meal choices, the staff all happy and engaging. The room was clean and comfy, and the only nitpick we could find was the showers water temp was a little variable and had to keep being adjusted, but thats it. Great location and atmosphere in the building....country hospitality, cant beat it.

I arrive Sunday evening and I’m glad I booked this hotel as it was within walking distance from the train station and it was still serving meals at 9.00pm. Food and service excellent and was obviously a popular venue in Orange. What ‘stunned’ me was the condition of the room. It’s a three star pub but has huge potential. My room had peeling paint on all walls . It’s obviously in need of re paint and I was quite stunned how bad it was. Bed comfortable no issues. Bathroom tired but functional.

The rooms are clean but needs a dusting and desperate in need of renovation. The bathroom looks like it belongs in a jail cell. I guess you get what you pay for though and it was reasonable, especially with the added discount vouchers for the pub.

Noisiest hotel room I’ve ever stayed in, even though I was on the 2nd floor. Clearly drunk & very loud patrons leaving hotel & congregating for a mothers club meeting at around 11pm for 15-20 mins, followed by a street sweeper parking under my room at around 3am with the engine running flat out for another 15-20 mins. Most noise outside hotels control, but zero effective noise proofing evident.

Beautiful old hotel, very clean and comfortable. The window was broken, glass had a huge gap. Did come back one evening to the window open and no towels. Went down the reception and no one was there even at 8:20. It was a bit awkward going to a packed bar just to get a towel. Other than that it was great. Lots of potential.

This Hotel is in the process of a major refeb, but it didn't interrupt our stay. Our room was huge and the bed was amazing and the A/C worked really well in 30+ heat. We didn't eat on site as the bistro menu was very ordinary. Parking is difficult close by.

I chose to pay at the property, they hit me with a $9.27 EFTPOS fee (not VISA/MC etc ) thought that was a bit ordinary. They give you a drink and food discount voucher. I though restaurant must be good as was buy, food was small portions and expensive. I ordered Spaghetti Bolognese $28 and commented it looked like a starter. Staff said "oh you think it's small", oh this is what they serve" and walked off.
