5 Star Review by Annette Holmes

Lunch for 9 today out on the deck in the sunshine. Lovely setting. The food was excellent - well priced too. Enjoyed the friendly banter with the staff. Our new "go-to" place when we are camping in the area!

5 Star Review by Lee

The Criterion Hotel is in John street Singleton it has a great atmosphere with a large outside area for get togethers with large or small group's of people with a car park at the back of the hotel, a separate dinning room away from the main bar, a large bar area with the kitchen area near by, a separate poker machine room and a Sportsman bar next to the dinning room. The food is reasonably priced with a well set out menu and special of the day. The staff are always friendly, helpful and professional. I would highly recommend The Criterion Hotel in Singleton to anyone who is traveling through the Town or if your just in town for the day. Keep up the great work. $ to $$
