Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was not clean dirty floor. Amenities not great either bathroom down the hall seemed unhygienic wet towel laying on floor presumed to be bathmat for all. Had one towel left in the room for both of us to shower so unable to use shower. Website did not mention that room was not self contained and that toilet and shower were down the hall. Did not see any staff as reception closed early and we left early as we couldn’t shower

A quiet secure property with secure parking. Very good family reception in a traditional Aussie hotel. It had not been overly modernised and maintained a historic homage to the original service that an establishment of this type would provide in times past.

The Pampas Hotel Port Augusta is a complete disgrace and a far cry from its "4-star" claim – a clear breach of trading standards. My room was unsanitary: mold in the shower tiles, terrible bathroom grouting, and a broken toilet seat with faeces marks were utterly repulsive. Beyond the grim hygiene, the room had broken drawers and an exposed ceiling vent. Peace was impossible due to unsupervised children and constant noise from staff accessing storage rooms. The shared kitchen facilities led to relentless door slamming, completely negating any privacy in my supposedly private room. While the bed was comfortable, this hotel is unfit for purpose. I'm reporting them to consumer ombudsman and environmental health. Do yourself a favor and book elsewhere.
