Archibald Hotel

Just stayed 2 nights at the Archibald Hotel. Now, if you're expecting 5 star, this is not the place to go.... however... It doesn't try to be anything it isn't. Rooms were clean, well fit out and the beds were comfy. The TV was great, had a kettle, fridge and good bathroom. The wifi was strong and never let us down. The pub below is a 2 minute walk down some steps and is a great place. Food was wonderful, staff very friendly and a ripper place to have a few drinks. I enjoyed our time there and certainly felt welcome. If you're looking for good, clean but simple accommodation, (even better if you're heading to a function at Loxley) this is a great place to stay.

We stayed here on the spur of the moment due to a bad weather forecast and being simply tired from a long day. We asked to view the room first and found it to be large and clean, and at the back of the pub. There was even a view over the rooftop! So we stayed and because we avoided a booking platform got $20 off and paid $140. This was a good deal given the non availability of equivalently priced accommodations in the area for a Saturday night. We had a very comfortable night and ate in at the pub - a great fish meal by the way!! Yes there was some noise from the kitchen exhaust, the road and from a bit of music. But it was pretty quiet after 10pm. And this was a Saturday night. Yes there are some other limitations like the aircon didn’t get quite hot enough and the dated décor, but I commend the owners for making available affordable clean and comfortable accommodation on a Saturday night in an area that seems to caters for people with deep pockets.
