Bowral Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Lyn Keogh
Spent Sunday afternoon here with good food, drinks and casual atmosphere that made for a great day. Service was a little slow but always with a smile. Stayed in the newly renovated rooms upstairs that were five star at very reasonable prices. Well done Bowral Hotel - keeping mini breaks affordable without skimping on comforts!
3 Star Review by Christo Ryan
I have eaten there twice. Fairly good tucker. But a restaurant, it ain't. It's a pub, with that smell pubs have. I have been to worse. Three stars is top rating for pub dining in my eyes. So it's a yes from me Dicko.
3 Star Review by Matthew Phelps
Stayed here for 3 nights after having to reschedule after the big floods and storms. Comfortable accommodation, albeit a little worn and rough in places. Did notice the absence of a working smoke detector though (empty spot for one, but missing). They did charge me wrong, but upon raising it with them, they corrected it within the hour and the overcharge was back in my account. For the money, good value if only needing a place to sleep or relax a little when visiting places or enjoying the Bowral food. Did have lunch in the pub one day, unfortunately the food was a little average, steak overcooked, and atmosphere a bit lackluster. Would stay and visit again however.

1 Star Review by Benjamin Logue
Terrible night life. This place closed and stopped serving alcohol at 11.30pm. This was actually ridiculous, if you want people to come and enjoy themselves, this is not the way to do it.
5 Star Review by Stewart Davis (Stew)
Can't beat our local. Super friendly staff, and a great atmosphere for a meal. $15 steak night is Thursday and you just can't beat it! And they can cook a steak perfectly to your liking! Drink prices are not TOO pricey. On par with other local pubs. Helps to have a member tag to drop it a bit. Absolutely rocks for the young folk on weekends. But I'm a bit past that these days. 5 stars from me
5 Star Review by Katherine Broad-Rouen
Went here for lunch yesterday and it was fantastic! $15 for a decent sized meal. Loved it. We'll definitely be back.
4 Star Review by Sarah K
The rooms are very clean and tidy and quiet modern. The first night we had some difficulties with the aircon it was so hot, unfortunately it is temp controlled centrally. The shower is fabulous, the rooms come with a little fridge and the room we stayed in was slightly away from the pub which was great re noise. You can park straight out the front of your room which is very handy. Great location!
4 Star Review by Jason Nguyen
Hotel Accomodation Room Review Good and well priced for the town as prices for accomodation can be pricey for older run down hotel/motels. The rooms are modern which make its a hidden gem if you judge it from the outside. Bathroom and shower are the highlights of the room! You need to check in at the Bowral Hotel pub bar before getting the keys to your rooms. We will be back when we come back in March!
