Castlereagh Hotel

On a recent drive from Melbourne to Brisbane I needed somewhere to stop with my son half way. Picked the Castlereagh for convenience. First impression, the staff were friendly although more focused on the pub bar customers & pulling pints than on checking guests in - check-in was very hurried. The twin room we were given was very dirty, had marks on the wall, broken cupboards & a large portion of the plaster wall missing (fallen out on floor). A plus though, was the surprising comfort of the single bed - the bathroom hadn't been cleaned in some time & also suffered from mould. However, the food in the restaurant was the star of this show - one of the best T-bone steaks I've had in a while. It's just a shame everything else let it down. Avoid this hotel for an overnight stay I'm sure there's plenty of other budget alternatives available in Dubbo. But do come here for an excellent pub steak meal.

The check in process was easy, bar and diner staff were friendly. Off street secure parking. The rooms are very very basic and have not been updated - ever. The rooms are suitable for blokes away on business or passing through, not family or kids. At $98 a night I did expect a bit more. This is more like a $50 stay.

Great pub meal. There was broken cupboard and wheels on bed were broken. Great compliments such as ceral,biscuits tea and coffee.

Value for money.

No breakfast cereal was in my room. The tv remote was missing. I searched the room for it. Even moved the bed to see if it was there,,,,,i only found lots of dust, a tub of instant noodles, two dirty odd sox, a can of coke and $5.

Room was comfortable. The entire upstairs smelt like an ash tray but was still comfortable for a quick one night stop
