Nice modern unit with parking at the door. Brilliant rain shower. Comfy bed, but no blanket or doona, just bedspread. No wifi, apparently it has not worked for some time.

Stayed here for the Tulip Time festival. Convenient location and comfy bed but do note they do not offer luggage storage before or after check-in. Also, cars are parked in front of the hotel rooms so while it is usually quiet, you might hear noise from your neighbour’s car. It’s all gravel so if you don’t drive you might want to carry your luggage in

Conveniently located amongst the Bowral shopping strip area. Close to all amenities. The dining options at the Bowral Hotel are also very good. The room was very clean, spacious and the ensuite area was very spacious too.`

Great overnight stay close to everything. Lighting within the room could be better and the bed needs some brakes as it moves on the floorboards. Would I stay there again, yes. Price good, location excellent, parking at door, no noise and easy to check in and out of.

This was a one night stay in Bowral and honestly Bowral hotel was so comfortable and functional with a great bed and renovated bathroom which felt lux. Quiet room and didn’t get much noise from main road made for a good nights sleep. Definitely coming back with easy access to Bowral pub with great meals!

The bed was awful, very cheap. Stained and threadbare duvet. It also appeared soiled which was a huge turnoff. The carpet/mat was heavily stained and felt dirty. These two things really impacted the room and brought down the entire feel of the place. The bathroom has been renovated beautifully but there is almost no point when you consider the condition of the rest of the room.

Good value motel style accomodation in a convenient, central location - let down by extremely stained carpet that needs replacing ASAP. It was strange since the rest of the room had been fairly nicely renovated, especially the bathroom, and you’d think hygiene would be a higher priority since COVID.

Location was fantastic, near the main street and close to shops and restaurants. Accommodation was good too, small cabin-like rooms (separate to the pub) were cute and all we needed for this short stay. The bathroom was modern and the room had a cupboard for our suits which I appreciated. Areas of improvement; We had to wait about 10 minutes for staff at the pub upon checkin, felt like no one was there. The top bed sheet was stained when we entered our room and was a bit of a turn off and made us question the cleanliness of the room. The parking outside the accommodation was unclear. Main issue, however, was the moving bed. The bed was on wheels and kept sliding away from the wall which was very annoying. All said and done, i would probably stay here again.

The rooms look lovely from the pictures. Check in was easy, you just have to tell someone behind the bar your name. Whilst the rooms look modern, they were really average. The bed is the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept on, it sinks in the middle. It was also on wheels, so every time you tried to get on it, it would move. Probably won’t stay here again.

Staff helpful, Comfortable room, great shower. The room we had is tucked away at the end of a row, had a parking space in front and a garden type view. Convenient spot for sightseeing in a large historic town and surrounding areas worth seeing. It's a shame that for a booking for two people there was only one chair. The stylish bedside lights are no help if you want read. Aside from those two points we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We were very happy to stay at The Bowral Hotel on our recent weekend away. We made a last minute decision to go away and was nervous our booking might be overbooked/ cancelled due to demand for the long weekend. I rang to confirm before we started driving and George was so lovely on the phone. He couldn't see our booking at the time but took the time to call us back 15 minutes later to confirm that the booking had arrived. We had had a terrible experience with a Best Western in Wollongong where we were told our already paid for booking was cancelled with no apology and an attitude that was not helpful. We recieved the exact opposite treatment from George and it was so appreciated. The room itself was freshly renovated and very sophisticated. The location is perfect- close to all the restuarants and shopping in Bowral. Parking was very convenient. We will definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

The room and bathroom were very clean, the linen was spotless. The bed and pillows were fantasticly comfortable. The staff were very professional and accommodating. There was no iron, so I had to get around in wrinkled clothes. Accessibility was via stairs from the car park which should have been mentioned. It's why I won't stay again as I have chronic neuropathy and stairs are painful for me.

Decided to stay in a hotel/ pub in the centre of Bowral, even though it was 3 ☆'s. Happily surprised with the little garden units out the back, recently renovated, I believe. Had a delicious dinner in the pub's bistro. We were warned then (as we are elderly?) that the pub was having its annual Christmas party, starting in half an hour, with loud music. We never dreamed the music would be so loud and the bass thumped through our room until midnight. Nevertheless, we would stay again...just not on the night of a special event!!
