A step back in time

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 23 Oct 2020via mobile
A short walk from the city centre, this 1885 old railway administration building, recently converted to a hotel, is an opportunity to experience heritage grandeur. The rooms all have 16ft ceilings, four poster beds and specially designed and fitted furniture. A spa bath in each room completes the luxury. Staff are friendly and helpful and there is plenty of parking. It is close to the railway line which might be a detractor if you are a light sleeper. We found it a source of interest.

Talk about a step back in time. The room was large and beautiful filled with antique furniture and a lovely corner spa. The bed was huge and the mattress was so soft and comfy. The bath towels were fluffy and soft. Our room was on the ground floor over looking the garden. Very quiet despite the train track running down the road. A couple of Deisel freight trains went through but it was not loud. The continental breakfast was great and the staff were very friendly and lovely to talk too

Room tip: Ground floor facing the car park

On entering our room it was like living in Downtown Abbey for 2 nights, beautifully decorated with authentic antiques. Clean, great size room, high ceilings, air conditioning and great size spa. Breakfast was included. Downside is that the Area it’s situated in is industrial.We enjoyed the novelty stay anyway.

We stayed here twice on this trip. What a beautiful place at an amazing price. The room was stunning and the staff were so helpful. They even had gluten free bread available for breakfast both times for me. I cannot recommend this place more highly. We will definitely be booking in here next time we are in Rockhampton.

When I opened the door to the room I was astounded! Firstly at the “period” setting, which I had not expected, and also at the quality of the furnishings etc..... then it dawned on me that they must’ve made a mistake on either the price... or the room, because I have rarely experienced such good Quality and value in a country town hotel.

After reading the reviews and description we were looking forward to our romantic getaway. Upon arrival the receptionist was brisk and dismissive. “Room no 4 around the corner”. I had to ask about parking. When I went back with other questions the reception was closed 5pm!

Please note this hotel is on the train line. Not too busy but there are trains!

The building was as described but upon a closer look was tired and needed repairs and some tender loving care. The same could be said for the room: door lock/handle nearly falling off, very bad reception for the tv even though we were in the town Centre (could not watch it), no drinking glasses, wine glasses did not match, bed very soft and if you wish to cuddle then you are rolled together in a big dip in the middle of the bed. Also there was a drip just outside that was not conducive to good sleep. A boutique hotel needs to have an eye for detail and it seems that nobody cares for this building. The garden area was neat and tidy.

The beautiful old pub across the road is closed so had to go in the car to find somewhere for a beer and food. Not walking distance, we asked a local.

Breakfast was such a disappointment after reading the reviews. Please a decent coffee would have been nice. Cheap instant does not cut it for a boutique hotel. Lots of sliced bread and pastries all wrapped in plastic. Whole fruit and sweet yoghurt. Basic muesli. Nothing hot apart from using the toaster. As a lover of good food this was a very bad experience and really prompted my review. Certainly not a boutique experience.
