The room was OK, but scant of facilities (cutlery, crockery), with a tiny fridge. The breakfast room downstairs did not have a wide selection, and had no milk when we went down for breakfast.
Didn’t get the text to access the room key. No underlay on the bed. Toilet had poo on the bowl, hadn’t been cleaned?? Very small room. Other than that it was fine.
Great room ,clean bed very comfortable Easy checkin and for $100 room with onsuite with breakfast- yes .No idea why people give this place 1/5 .

Centrally located and convenient. ROoms clean. Breakfast fine. Carpets worn but what one would expect for old hotel. Good value for money. Staff very friendly.
The room was basic but functional. For the price we paid it was perfectly acceptable. We were told at check in that we might have to let the hot water run for a while before it came out hot but we didn't experience any problems at all. The AC unit was exceptionally efficient and quiet. Wifi was a bit flaky in our room but fine everywhere else. It was great eating our evening meal out on the historic balcony at the front of the hotel. Breakfast was really just a bonus at this price point. It was a very basic continental style breakfast with bread and spreads and a few cereals with a geyser for hot water (t-bags and instant coffee). I really don't understand some of the negative reviews we saw online. It's a historic building so things will be different to a modern motel. If I was staying in Hay again I wouldn't hesitate to book this place. We had a great night's sleep and were fully refreshed for a long drive the next day.

The old pub balcony is a great place to relax but otherwise the place is getting a bit run down. Worn/torn/stained carpets and other obvious maintenance deficits.
The hotel and the room had a feeling about it. The window in the bedroom would not open. My wife felt very claustrophobic in the hotel and especially in the room. The receptionist told us we would be the only people in the building that night, this was not a comfortable feeling. As this was advertised as a hotel we expected it to have a bar and restaurant, it had neither. So, we cancelled the night and went to a motel in the town.

The room itself was good, bed comfortable and room clean. Bathroom clean though very small.
Check in was by lock box which was convenient though the instructions to find our room were a little wrong.
TV had sound only with no picture but fridge, microwave and kettle were very welcome.
Good aircon
Breakfast was supplied but bread had some mould on it and milk was out of date.
