Castlereagh Hotel

Expect for what you paid. Budget accommodation, ok for one night stay..

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.

The staff are friendly and helpful. The room was so small and depressing. The bathroom was gross. I feel sorry fir the lovely staff. Can a pub ruin a roadt? The answer is yes. The chef must not like vegetables, they were cold and watery. Such a shame.
