Gordon Hotel — Restaurant in Goulburn

DO NOT STAY HERE! PROs • The room was small but clean. • There was a mobile column heater to take the chill off the air. • A towel and soap were provided. • Tea and coffee making facility.

CONs • Despite booking a double room, we got a twin share. I complained and was told no doubles were available. We should have been told this when booking. • No face washer was provided. • The towels were faded and a bit scratchy. • Amenities were scant. For about 20 rooms, there were only 2 male and 2 female toilets downstairs and 1 male and 1 female ensuite-type bathroom upstairs. • No power point in the bathroom. • No mirror in bedroom. • Bathroom windows had a gap high up through which the wind blew making it extremely cold for a morning shower. • Room had a map showing the fire escape routes, but there was no assembly area designated. • Fire alarm went off late afternoon, only to be turned off a couple of minutes later. • The fire alarm went off again at 3 am and was turned off after about 5 minutes. • The bed was lumpy and uncomfortable. • The TV only got the primary free-to-air stations, e.g. it received the ABC but not ABC2, ABC3 or ABC News 24.

By morning, with the combination of an uncomfortable bed and broken sleep due to the fire alarm we could not leave...

We made a spur of the moment decision to stay in Goulburn and came across the Gordon Hotel.||Asked for a double room - and after paying was given a twin room. We decided to stay as it was late after a long day of driving. Big mistake! ||We weren’t expecting anything fancy- but the room||Was a joke. Small fridge on the floor , with door propped open with a dirty cloth, one lamp that blew the moment we turned it on. Tv also didn’t work! Absolutely filthy window and screen and mismatched linen that looked like it had been there since the 80’s. ||Share Bathroom upstairs also looked like no maintenance had been done for years. Shower rail coming away from the wall and the dirtiest window sill you have ever seen. Yuck!! I could hardly wait till morning to get out of the place! ||||As there are few reviews of the accomodation I can only speculate not many people stay here. Yes it is fairly cheap, but don’t be tempted! ||On a more positive note , the staff in the hotel and particularly the bistro were very friendly.||Meal in the bistro was nice. Decent size and reasonably priced. ||By all means stay for a drink and a meal- but don’t be...
