My husband and I spent two nights at this hotel. The exterior of the hotel is absolutely majestic and reminiscent of the days of a hundred years ago when one can imagine it without grubby carpets, dinging of slot machines, and a hotel interior which simply does not know what the year is or the era in which it was...

Room was small but comfortable, however the 'spa' (bath with jets) kept malfunctioning and would start and stop for hours. Staff were generally friendly. In a good location but a bit pricey for what we got, in the end.

Here in the midst of Daylesford is an old grandiose hotel revered a century ago. These days, it has an identity crisis. Should it keep its old antique character or should it become a boutique hotel for the future.? We went there as part of a two night Groupon Deal. Our room was on the first level. As we headed...

My husband and I spent two nights in Room 7 at the Royal Daylesford Hotel on a Groupon package including breakfast. Room was described as an Executive Suite but was little more than a room in a two star motel with a vast spa bath in the middle of the room which meant there was very little room to move... More

Reviews need to be in perspective. This is a good quality australian pub that offers well presented and renovated rooms. We stayed in room 9 which was not a problem, however there were some patrons sitting outside on the tables having some drinks up to about 9pm, no problem. The accommodation is up stairs and there is no lift, this... More

The fittings generally in the rooms are art deco inspired and quite nice, however we stayed in two different rooms and both had either broken fittings or fittings under repair. Bed quality great if you love hard beds, which we do. RIght on the major roundabout however not noisy at all. Didn't eat here.

Chicken parmigiana , dry over cooked sauce tasteless. Pizza base just crap, toppings oily Could not recommend to anyone, overpriced or some if the worst service I have ever had .... Staff not interested in the customer. The beaks took 40+ minutes to cone out, with only a handful of dinning customers I find this to be unacceptable. We will... More
