Hotel overview

Situated just across from Orange railway station, this budget hotel offers uncomplicated, simply furnished rooms ideal for travelers looking to keep costs low while staying centrally. The rooms feature shared bathroom facilities, catering primarily to budget-conscious guests comfortable with communal amenities. Onsite, a casual bar and restaurant provide convenient dining and a relaxed social atmosphere after a day of exploring.

The property is steps from vibrant local attractions including art spaces and green gardens, making it a practical base for immersing in Orange's cultural offerings. Despite its modest style, the hotel garners praise for cleanliness and helpful staff, adding confidence for travelers prioritizing value and location over luxurious extras.

The environment maintains a smoke-free policy throughout the premises, though the bar atmosphere upstairs means some noise late into the evening can be expected.

“Excellent value for budget room. Good clean communal kitchen. Shared women's bathroom had been well renovated with excellent shower. Old-style upstairs hotel rooms with labyrinthine corridors and old-style staircase. Arriving at 7.30 pm we scored the last park in the outdoor carpark. Very helpful staff who also helped when we couldn't get the wifi to work immediately.”

“This place is super fantastic great location fantastic food and the area and especially the rooms and facilities are super clean.The cleaners are definitely super professional how they clean even the shower area are super clean everyday. I have stayed at a few pubs hotels for work even 5 star hotels and they are definitely not cleaner then this pub hotel. So if your making plans to stay in Orange for the weekend or a week or so I absolutely recommend this place so get booking people.”

“Nice clean room, comfy bed, beautiful bathrooms and very friendly staff at reception. Super close to an amazing Italian restaurant! My daughter and I only stayed for 1 night but had an amazing time. I made myself a coffee in the shared kitchen and sat and watched the snow in the morning. Orange is beautiful would definitely stay there again”

“Beds were great and comfortable. Bathrooms were also great. Sadly there was an extremley loud party coming from somewhere with bass bellowing until 4am which made me feel like i was in a rave.”

“Very clean rooms and fantastic pub food, friendly staff and warm environment. The only issue is that the rooms do not have bathroom and you will need to use shared facilities.”

“Great spot, centrally located. We were there just for a night so i cant comment on service. They have perhaps the cleanest toilets I have seen. However, just need to be mindful they have common toilets and accommodation is above a bar so expect some music a bit later in the night and smell of cigarettes. Bed linen was clean. Overall good value for money if you can manage the minor aspects I mentioned.”
