Royal Hotel SOFALA reviews
4 Star Review by Warren Arthur
Nice place for a stopover. A little pub with plenty of character. Situated in the old Gold rush town from the 1870's in a narrow street with lots of old historic buildings surrounding.
5 Star Review by Rik Allison
Love this old pub. Been a few times and it reminds me of what a pub used to be. No pokies, locals with a story, no frills. Just good feels.
