The Rec Hotel

My wife and I decided to drop into The Rec Hotel in Northam , formerly The Duke. The wife wasn't overly hungry, so we decided to share a steak sandwich with our drinks. One steak sandwich , one pint of Swan Draught and one pint of Matso's ginger beer $60.90 !!! Thanks for coming!!!!! Now correct me if I'm wrong, but this is Northam and not Northbridge. My advice would be go to one of the other fine pubs in Northam or even the Spencer's Brook hotel because the grey paint , dead plants and plastic grass in the beer garden does not justify the cost at the bar, unless of course you have gold lined pockets.

Very dated Motel, but reasonably clean. WiFi was very poor by modern standards. Location was good and you could easily walk everywhere. Good location for visiting places in and around Northam. The Motel is badly in need of an update, it looks very tired and dated. Good food at the pub, but very busy and noisy

We had to make a very short-notice reservation due to power issues at our Airbnb. Our rooms (Triple with en-suite) was clean, modern and had everything we needed. What really sets this place apart though are the brilliant staff. If you need to stay in Northam - stay here!

For the money, this was an alright place to stay. The room had everything we needed, it was just tiny! The bed needs replacing, it was horribly uncomfortable. Other than that, it was fine. Its a little walk to centre of town so if you dont like walking, take a car. The staff were lovely, the food was good. Good value for money.

Comfortable room. VERY disappointing food. Group booking so individual dinner choices were pre- ordered a week in advance. Why then did we wait in the restaurant 1.5 - 2hrs to be served ??!! “Famous” steak sandwich was over cooked, dry, tough & cold Fish was dry Hamburger was VERY ordinary. Unsatisfactory!!

We had a one night stay is this beautiful old building, and it was just what we expected for a fun country stay. There was 7 of us ladies , 3 in the hotel and 4 across the road in modern accommodation. I personally enjoyed staying in the upstairs hotel rooms , even with shared bathrooms (5 to choose from and very clean). 3 of us ladies in a very large room , with beautiful old doors that open on to a huge wraparound balcony. Yes the rooms were older style but that’s exactly what we loved about it , clean, coffee/ tea facilities, fridge,biscuits, towels, soap, shower gel all included. Dinner that night was more than satisfactory and staff are absolutely amazing, extremely friendly. Be sure to have a good look around this old gal , she sure is beautiful. Thank you for a fantastic getaway.
