What guests think
Bateau Bay Hotel draws budget-conscious travellers with low prices, a convenient location near beaches and shops, and on-site pub amenities, while feedback repeatedly notes basic, dated rooms, variable cleanliness, and ongoing renovations that can create noise and occasional service disruption.
Many guests find the beds comfortable and appreciate easy parking and simple check in via the bottleshop. Housekeeping can be inconsistent, and bathrooms are old, with recurring reports of mould or musty odours. Expect a no-frills, budget stopover with trade-offs during refurbishment.

The POSITIVE points: Reasonable price for a basic room. OK linens, aircon and kettle and few packets of coffee, tea and milk. Restaurant and bottle shop next door. The staff at the bottle shop / check in is friendly. Good location, quiet, easy to find and has a very large carpark. A short drive to the beaches and shopping centre. The NEGATIVE points: The room is a bit small, but has an outdoor sitting area at the back of the room. The toilet, shower and vanity are outdated, mouldy, paint peeling and flaky, odours linger, the dark carpet feels dirty, and doors are tight and needs to be pushed hard. The booking site indicates daily housekeeping but there was none despite our request for housekeeping on day 2. So I had to ask for replacement towels when we got back. Towels have a smell of kitchen and body odour. Maybe for this price, I'd be unreasonable to expect a pristine place but they should be honest in their ad that daily housekeeping isn't included and they should wash, dry and deodoriser their towels better.

The room was comfortable enough but despite the information stating that there was WiFi in all rooms, it was broken & switched off. Also the info said there was a restaurant but it was closed for rebuilding. It was not stated that the place was being rebuilt and the builders woke me earlier than I would have liked. When I took the staff to task, they blamed it on Wotif, saying they had emailed to advise. The hotel emailed me a confirmation and failed to warn of these reductions in their service so I didn't accept their feeble excuse. I have been asked to advise a friend of a suitable place to stay in this area, so needless to say I did not recommend here!

Affordabla Basic standard room hotel at the moment, as upgrading is on it's way. Friendly staff easy check in/out, the restaurant next to it was fabulous the only big problem only the car park for hotel guests which we had to parking our car away from our room, because of restaurant customers take the hotel guest carpark. they should marking few spots for guests only park their cars. The rest is good would be back and stay again

The staff at the bottle shop / check in is friendly. Good location, quiet, easy to find and has a very large carpark. A short drive to the beaches and shopping centre. The room is a bit small, the outdoor sitting area at the back of the room is blocked off by construction fencing, and the front area too is blocked off. The furniture and the toilet/ bathroom are outdated, odours linger, the dark carpet feels dirty, and the fridge is rusty, its door is banged up and the freezer is so thickly frosted up. The housekeepers didn’t turn up for day 2 so I had to ask for replacement towels when we got back. I requested for housekeeping for day 3 but they missed tidying up the bed. However, for this price, I'd be unreasonable to expect a pristine place. I hope the ongoing renovations work well to improve the property when I come to the area again next summer.

It's a low-cost room to be fair but wasn't clean there was mould on the shower curtain and the mattress for the bed was sagged, unsupportive and smelled like a mixture of body odour and musty dust. I've been in backpacker hostels that were cleaner and more comfortable. I left and drove 2 hours home to sleep at my own home after the second time I Iaid on the bed.

This is the perfect stop over travelling to the north coast I booked this place last minute. For the price it's actually not bad. There's comfy clean beds, toilet and shower private in your room. A bar fridge, kettle, coffee and tea. Remember bring yoir own shampoo hair products etc. There is no microwave, plates or hairdryer. Again for the price it was good for.a.one night stop over. I have paid hundreds of dollers a night and never had a microwave or plates in a room. Just to point that out. Plenty of towels and soap though. Thanks Bateau Bay Hotel

The hotel (pub) side of the business was fine. The room (room 3) was very much in need of a refurbishment. Power points were lacking (all in one power board, two were used and one was broken) there were none by the bed which caused a problem. This problem was solved by the property lending me an extension cord. Interestingly, as we checked out this morning - there was a team of people waiting to enter the bedrooms to "spray" them with something / against something.

The room was fine for the price and our overnight stay. The bed was super comfortable and the noise from the pub could not be heard. The cobwebs lent some authenticity :) Loved the water pressure in the shower. I

It was not obvious where to check in. It should have been listed as being next to a construction site. No view. Good for someone passing through that just needs to sleep overnight.

The POSITIVE points: Reasonable price for a basic room. OK linens, aircon and kettle and few packets of coffee, tea and milk. Restaurant and bottle shop next door. The staff at the bottle shop / check in is friendly. Good location, quiet, easy to find and has a very large carpark. A short drive to the beaches and shopping centre. The NEGATIVE points: The room is a bit small, but has an outdoor sitting area at the back of the room. The toilet, shower and vanity are outdated, mouldy, paint peeling and flaky, odours linger, the dark carpet feels dirty, and doors are tight and needs to be pushed hard. The booking site indicates daily housekeeping but there was none despite our request for housekeeping on day 2. So I had to ask for replacement towels when we got back. Towels have a smell of kitchen and body odour. Maybe for this price, I'd be unreasonable to expect a pristine place but they should be honest in their ad that daily housekeeping isn't included and they should wash, dry and deodoriser their towels better.

The location was very accessible and central for my business visit. A redo of the rooms would not go astray

Nice budget lodging. Room was fairly spacious, and bed was comfortable. Road noise was a problem, so bring your ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.

We had dinner at the hotel, we ordered the seafood plater for two and all of it was COLD even the chips. The service heat lamps were not on or not working. Hopefully next time it will be better.

The room was comfortable enough but despite the information stating that there was WiFi in all rooms, it was broken & switched off. Also the info said there was a restaurant but it was closed for rebuilding. It was not stated that the place was being rebuilt and the builders woke me earlier than I would have liked. When I took the staff to task, they blamed it on Wotif, saying they had emailed to advise. The hotel emailed me a confirmation and failed to warn of these reductions in their service so I didn't accept their feeble excuse. I have been asked to advise a friend of a suitable place to stay in this area, so needless to say I did not recommend here!

Great place to meet up with young family on the Central Coast as kids were very well catered for with a well-done kid friendly area and a grass hill to roll down on. The food at the pub was good. The room was fine for the price and our overnight stay. The bed was super comfortable and the noise from the pub could not be heard. The cobwebs lent some authenticity :) Loved the water pressure in the shower. I

The trip was for a 30yr reunion in the area. The Hotel services were amazing, bistro, bar and drive thru cellar. The room is typical pub stay but it was clean and tidy. The bed was comfy, shower fine. Great for a few nights.

Somewhat strange place. It's a 6-room motel (All at ground floor), attached to a large restaurant/bar. Check-in done at the on-premise liqueur store (!). The bed was comfortable. Surprisingly quite despite the large restaurant next to it, where loud music is played. (it anyway closes at 22:00). WiFi speed mediocre. No hot water in the shower. The door to the room would not lock from the outside.
