Great place to visit our 3rd stay , very central,easy walking up and down Vincent st and to the lake ,our room was comfortable and the staff were helpful though the breakfast packs are a let down
We have the a spa suite for two nights.
Room was clean and tidy and bed comfy.
Large balcony which is cool although not private.
The room was cleaned of rubbish and towels changed after the first night but dishes wernt washed or bedding changed, so pretty much self service.
It's currently midnight on a Sunday night and there are still drunks downstairs drinking and shouting at the person next to them. Very noisey.
I would only recommend staying if you intend on making noise.
If you wish to fall asleep before 1am then stay somewhere else.
The food portion was a little on the small side but it was tasty. We had a large group and they were able to handle it with ease. Would recommend and would return.
Amazing venue and staff! Catering for a 100 person lunch group with delicious and hot meals. Our entire group commented on how amazing the food was. It's a credit to them to serve a 100 people with not 1 complaint. Congrats guys you run a great venue.
Had a lovely stay at Daylesford Royal Hotel last night (28/09/17) and the Executive Suite was spacious and clean! Bathroom size was generous with a built-in spa. Can't wait to come back!
Strongly advise against supposed 'executive room 10' if you wish to sleep. Nice decor but you are continually dealing with noise and heavy bass/pokies from downstairs as positioned near games lounge. This really should be something made aware to guests. Noise got even louder at 11.30pm which is unacceptable for a place that advertises itself as luxury accommodation. I went downstairs to ask for close time to be told it is 1am. Hotel had no after hours contact number made available. Better options in the region that will allow you to sleep, get relaxation and not deal with pokies!
A great place for watching sport in Dayelsford. I went along here when there were a few big games on at the one time, the bar had plenty of screens showing the different games. Had a few beers off the tap which were fresh and the couple of nibbles we had were nice.
The Daylesford Royal is a beautiful, heritage-style building; inside and out.
The main bar is a sporting and betting man's paradise. There's enough TV screens to keep up with every horse and dog race in Australia, and watch three different sporting events at the same time.
It's got that 'I'm back in the 70s entering a great country pub' feel about it.
The other bar (Saloon Bar as we used to call them) is spacious, has great seating, and more TV screens for sports lovers.
There are two outside areas; one at the front and one at the side of the Saloon bar for people who want to smoke (While Victoria allows it?) Nothing plastic or sterile here. All wooden tables and benches.
The dining room is also spacious, and the meals are superb.
I'd call the Royal Daylesford classy. And inviting.
Wonderful service. The staff were lovely, the accomodation was exceptional and the food was delicious
There weren't enough salt and pepper shakers on the tables. The fish and chips meal was the worst I've ever experienced, change your cooking oil guys! Table service instead of a single person struggling to press buttons isn't that hard. Heck, get Gordon Ramsay in, easy!
Very spacious nice local pub. Only downside was we didn't know if they were open solely based on the bistro entrance. Otherwise top notch food!!
Nice pub style meals. Nice ambience. Meals came out quickly and were good value for money. Friendly staff.
Could be good but.
They self describe as luxury accommodation.
They need to review this as it just isn't.
Positives: Room are large and comfortable.
Hotel is in a great location. Mind you traffic in the mornings is loud.
Negatives: Bathroom wasn't cleaned well and it had pink gunk spilled down front of vanity on arrival.
On day 2 fresh towels given but room was not serviced.
Balcony area is old a tired and needs work.
Walls between rooms are paper thin and on night one we were kept awake until 0300 by the room next to us.
The hotel plays music both internally and on external speakers from 0830 - 0100 every day which makes it incredibly hard to sleep. Vacuuming started at 0700. On reviewing accommodation feedback it appears complaints are similar, yet have done nothing about complaints raised. Yet the hotel still takes customers money and put them in accommodations where people have complained about hotel driven noise. I presume this is why they are doing Groupon specials. I think they need to decide if they want to be a pokies venue or have accommodation.
We wouldn't stay again.
