Views!

Incredible views, excellent bathrooms, very clean. Lovely communal spaces, with displays about the history of the hotel and then environment. The food was excellent and they can cater for a range of allergies.

Overpriced

4.0

The best thing about our stay was the fantastic landscape we watched from the pub and the restaurant. The room was small and very basic and we had a two course dinner in the evening and the portions were so small that we couldn’t believe our eyes. Very high priced for what we got. If I go back, I would just sit in the pub, having something to drink and look at the landscape.

High Tea more Low Tea !

6.0

High Tea experience was underwhelming! Family of five celebrated a birthday.when asked about what foods were in the high tea Curried egg and cucumber sandwich , sausage roll, one spring roll, cakes and terrible cannoli ! They were carried to our table on tiered cake , which the server then put on the floor while he placed the other on the table …..food on the floor?? On this day it was 12° outside , cold and windy. It felt like 12° inside…aircon on cold ! We asked for it to be turned off or the temperature up …. Can’t help you ? Staff and the view were terrific , but your menu needs some serious updating !

Disappointing High Tea at Hydro Majestic

4.0

I have been to the Wintergarden for High Tea, and loved the ambience and views and food. So I went with my family to celebrate my birthday. They asked if we were celebrating and we told them it was my birthday. When the racks came out, they had written Happy Birthday for one of my guests plates. The cost of High Tea was quite high, $65 basic and $75 for Asian. We had 2 Asian and 3 ordinary. The scones were hard as if they had been reheated. The steamed rolls in the basket (Asian) were cold and spring rolls were cold and hard. The waiters and waitresses were young and untidy in appearance and had difficulty understanding requests. The bathroom was very dirty. This establishment has gone down the drain in quality of food, service and general upkeep. I am extremely disappointed.

Afternoon Tea

8.0

Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see the views due to low lying cloud. However, I suspect they were brilliant. Afternoon tea was OK and a glass of sparkling wine was good value. The history tour was quirky.

Stunning Views but Average Room facilities

6.0

One of the smallest rooms I’ve stayed in, considering the ratings. The room was elegant, but the bathroom’s lack of upkeep was disappointing, with cracked taps and bath recesses. The absence of a blind or sheer curtain meant we had to choose between no natural light or no privacy. Additionally, there was no mirror in the bedroom, and the bathroom was too small to use the full-length mirror effectively. Our room faced the car park and highway, so traffic noise was noticeable, and the water pressure from the next-door shower was very loud. The public spaces were stunning, with magnificent views from the dining rooms, but the “upgraded rooms with a view” offered at an additional fee had obstructed views and weren’t worth the extra cost. We switched back to our original room after seeing the upgrade. No room service or lifts are available, which should be noted on their website, as it would be challenging for less abled guests to carry luggage up to their rooms without assistance. The coffee with breakfast was exceptional, but the breakfast itself was a bit underwhelming. Overall, we wouldn’t choose to stay here again if we were in the area.
