Castlereagh Hotel Dubbo - Comfortable Stay

What guests think

Castlereagh Hotel is a budget, centrally located pub-style stay with very friendly staff and a wide verandah, but dated facilities and thin walls that let in late-night live music and street noise.

Reviews note inconsistent cleanliness and maintenance, especially in shared bathrooms and older ensuites. Rooms range from simple and comfortable to small and tired, with some amenity quirks like missing remotes or fridges. Many guests praise the value and on-site dining, with secure or free parking also noted. Expect a low-cost, character stay best for unfussy travellers.

5 Stars all round, please understand you do need to rate based on what you pay. This was under $100 per night, at this rate all I expect is a room with a bed. So when you get TV, Bar Fridge, shared kitchen facilities, a downstairs restaurant and bar, free parking and the most helpful and friendly staff in the central west, the Castlereagh Hotel is an absolute banger. 110% Recomend

I liked this place and I'd stay here again. There were issues but for the price I don't mind. The hot water in the shared showers didn't work but the staff upgraded me to an ensuite. My window was a bit drafty but the heater worked and the extra blankets helped. The worst was the noise. All the sound from outside - traffic, noisy patrons at 1am - came straight in! The staff were wonderful and the meals at the bistro were decent and priced reasonably. I paid for 3 stars and I got 3 stars, at least for the room. Staff were great. Food was great. Secure off-street parking. Great location. Great value for the price. I'll stay there again.

So don’t expect to sleep. Single beds comfy but bathroom facilities disgusting or out of order. No hot water in showers during our stay and toilet blocked. Humm …

Extremely dirty, marks all over walls, horrendously mouldy bathroom, taps that drip/run constantly, dirty washing left in room, broken bed held up with 3 bibles. Jug sits on floor as no other powerpoints. Broken smoke detector sitting on broken wardrobe with no battery. Outside bedroom window on hotel roof was main air-conditioning unit that banged, crashed and whirled all night. No peaceful sleep at all, definitely needed ear plugs. This hotel is NOT 3stars, not even a 1 star. Will never stay again. Horrible, horrible, horrible. You couldn't get me to stay there again even if they paid me. Photos attached

What a run down room. Like a prison cell. The shower drained down a make shift drainage channel which wasn’t sealed properly so wet the whole bathroom floor which I slipped over on. No bath mat provided. The blanket looked dirty and the bed had hair in it. The noise from the cooler outside my window kept me awake and when I finally got to sleep a big truck came in around 3am beeping and noisy and woke me up again . Couldn’t close the bathroom louvres as they are broken so street noise was a lot too. Mould on the wall and all in all just a grimy feel. Bar tender said he’d be with me but then got chatting to someone who walked in after me, then served several beers before he could bother to check me in. Not worth the $100, I should have slept in my car.
