Wow I have had an awesome start soo far at Taylor’s Hotel. The price is just right for me and I have really had the best sleep I have had in a very long time. Last night I had their special $12 rump cooked medium. It was cooked exactly as I had ordered and the chips were seasoned perfectly. I had mushroom sauce with it which is the icing on a fantastic meal. Thank you Taylor’s Hotel!

Unfriendly staff, upon booking we were informed there was a luggage room, only to be told to store our valuables behind the bar which could be seen by all and regularly left unattended as they catered to the restaurant next door. When I asked the elderly bartender about why there wasn’t a luggage room she simply stated “what do you expect it’s Taylor’s hotel love”. This statement says it all about the place, the hotel room was unpleasant at best. Room clearly hadn’t been cleaned ( especially the fridge) and the windows taped up. Don’t even get me started about the girls bathroom.

This is a hard one to do due to its price. You cannot expect much when paying $35 or $45 for a night in Australia, anywhere else in the world, yes, not here. But let's be clear here, rooms in prison in Australia are more looked after and nicer ;-). So, if you can put up with cleanliness(the lack of), a standing fan that doesn't do anything, maybe a giant rat or 2 crossing your path while going to the outside toilet in the middle of the night and still think it's worth it for just a quick 5 or 6 hrs sleep before your flight, go for it, I would prefer not to. I will pay probably double but stay in something a bit more comfortable and nicer.

These guys took my money for a booking that I’d made for my daughter who had just escaped a violent situation and they turned her away because she had no photo ID. She did have other forms of ID. It was late at night when she arrived and she had just driven 12 hours to get there. Thanks to Taylor’s she slept on the street in her car. One star is very generous. I’ll take a refund! Oh wait, “not your policy” either right?

The restaurant was not busy, but there was a function in the beer garden. Our meals took an hour to come and when they did the roast beef was not edible...very tough and dry. We were willing to still stay for desert only to be told that we were not able to order any as the 'kitchen was smashed'. If the kitchen cannot cope with a function, then please close your restaurant. There were only two couples other than us!

So booked a room for $45 on booking.com and when myself and a friend arrived and checked in we where given our key. We headed up stairs to our room to find it hadn’t even been cleaned after it’s last guests. Went back down and told the girl behind the bar and she said they were going to see if they had a different room. So we waited in the pokies and only about 10 minutes later the girl came to say our room was ready that they cleaned it. So we headed back up to our original room to find the beds and just been made. Nothing else had been cleaned. The floor was very dirty and hadn’t been vacuumed. We headed out for a bite to eat and decided we couldn’t stay there as it was so dirty! So we just left the key at the bar and left! What a waste of money

Like many pubs around Australia Taylor's Hotel was sold to the "Cole's" group, so no more Friday afternoon happy hour, raffle tickets sold by topless ladies. You can still get a decent meal at a reasonable price though!

It's not 5 star accomodation, but value for money. You get a bed, tv, fridge and shared toilet and showers. At $35/night, it's money well spent. The staff were friendly and accomodating, and the bed, and room were comfortable and clean. I will stay again, and if you just need a bed and scalding hot shower, it's ideal for the price.

I don’t really want to share this place because it’s such a great secret. The food has always been great, service is awesome too. Great prices and food is always fresh and quick. So shhhh don’t let anyone else know about here or they might end up being overrun by people and we won’t get in for a feed.

Great lunch today at Taylor's Hotel. HUGE crumbed steak (doggy bag came home), & my husbands Rump steak was perfect. Very reasonable prices as well with Seniors discount to top it off.

Good old school pub,NOT! prices are ridiculous for a counter meal and 1 drink your looking at over 60 bucks. And that's just a rump steak... the garlic prawns comes with a bag of rice and you'll be lucky to get 6 prawns... won't be going back here that's for dam sure

Food was good and priced right. At $35 for the room you get what you pay for. It was clean and tidy but really hot so couldn't sleep. One pedestal fan, no windows.
