Nice place. Clean tidy, grumpy staff though, especially the oldies. Maybe they miss the old rough Gold Dust Inn. Change is good. Time to retire good folks!

Nice clean rooms, staff are friendly, location is close to all amenities, and great food in the bistro, a must stay in accommodation, and food, special were fantastic

First time sit down meal here. I take my hat off to the Chef. Lovely meal. Forgot to take a pic, I was too hungry. The staff are lovely. Thanks guys.

An old style pub , bistro and TAB with decent, if older style amenities , good food/beer and great service

Best place to chillout, drinks, huge screens to watch games and races plus quality bistro..

I made a reservation through call and they said that I can pay when I would arrive there but when I arrived there they said there's no room available there and suggested that I can book another room around the area but guess what I didn't find any another room. Only I know that how I spent my whole night. I talked to the staff over the phone that I'm coming here for my work and I need a room for 2 nights. But like I said only I know how I managed that....

Nice clean interior. Food was very good. A menu has a lot of different food choices. Staff were very friendly and service good. Prices reasonable. Very Nice.

We stayed overnight in the Hotel. It was clean and tidy, with good security. Perfect for overnight on your way somewhere else. Meals were basic pub grub and good value for cost, but they had very little knowledge of gluten which we worked around. Overall a fine stay.

This is now our local pub! We love it food is amazing! Chefs are great! And DAWN IS AMAZING!! ♥️

We stayed in the rooms upstairs and were welcomed by toothpaste on the windows, giant cockroaches, no working tvs, windows you can't see out of, no decorations or enough supplies for our family of 5, and the sound of drunks fighting until 4 am. The food at the pub is alright, and the location is close to all the doonside stores, but even for the cheap price, you're better off paying the extra for a room that doesn't feel like a hospital room.

Found someone hair on my bed. Crawling insect toilet not clean. Messy wardrobe. Total disgusting. Not happy at all. Dont waste your money. Not worth it.

We were simply enjoying our family meal with few drinks when the staff asked us to finish our drink and live. Meanwhile on the other side were drunk people who were not asked to live🥵🥵 summing it up. Unprofessional and racist staff🤢🤢🤢🤢

The Chef is amazing and the food is Divine as they put there love in all there meals they prepare, much love to the chefs.

The food is good value. It's a decent pub for localsbut all the beers are foreign-owned

Beer and food is great, probably just need more cocktail options for the ladies 🍻😊🍺🍸🍸🍹🍹.

Worse place in Sydney to play the pokies one big the worse place to loose your money

Great pub great food great staff Can get busy and drinks not sky high prices like this place visit it often

After reading some of the reviews, I was worried about cleanliness, but I found the room and ensuite to be very clean. The carpet was a little stained, but it had been cleaned as well as possible. We arrived late at night, and the night manager was very helpful and friendly. The window would not close fully (not a security issue as we were on the second floor) but the street noise was clearly audible. Thankfully it was a Tuesday night, so it was fairly quiet, but the birds were noisy in the morning. I would not have wanted to stay there on a Friday or Saturday night.

When I first checked in, it took about 15 mins for the staff to find a key for the room and for them to check to see if the room was clean even though I booked in advance and also gave my ETA. The room smelt bad like mould or damp, or both. I tried to live with it, but it was so bad I asked for another room. I was shown 3 different rooms and they all smelt horrible like damp carpet and mould. I complained and was told that's what I should expect for the price. I ended up staying in the 2nd room for the night. Both rooms had hair on the beds, the air-con had mould inside it and the air-con stunk when I turned it on. Outside someone across the street was yelling over the phone (sounded like a drug deal) making death threats to someone else. Next morning upon checking out around 8:30 am, I went to pick up my $100 deposit (required to pay at check in, in case you damage the room) and no staff were about. I received it a week later after giving my bank details. 1st and last time staying there.

Called directly to make a booking rather than go thru an online booking service. However they would not honour the price that was listed on their own website. They would have got a full amount from my direct booking instead of sharing with the online booking service. Stupid and bad form.

Had a rude person on arrival and the room was up two flights of stairs. Very disappointed. The $10 Kmart bin in the bathroom was rusted. Would not be going back.

Stayed here for 2 nights. The room was not cleaned. The toilets were disgusting, the shower was disgusting. I boiled water 5 times to get rid of the black dirt and hair sitting in the bottom of the shower basin. And after that, I was still uncomfortable using the shower! There were spider webs above the toilet window and that window does not shut! The bed sheets and pillow cases had stains!!! One of the blankets even had blood stains on it! Disgusting! . There was hair, and ants on one of the beds too. The coffee mugs were so dusty and unwelcoming! The place didn’t have a working TV, the windows were broken, so naturally all the dust and wind from outside were coming in…and all the noise from outside is easily heard inside! We had to climb stairs to get to our room. There is no elevator, so if you’re alone or have kids, its hard to get to the room. The bin in the bathroom was also full with what looked like napkins. Gross. There was a cigarette smell to the room when we first enter - not sure if its because of the air from downstairs, or if someone was smoking in the bedroom. Their website also says that the hotels “full” but during the nights that we stayed, we never once saw the carpark full or people walking in and out. Dont stay here. You’re better off spending more at a more decent and clean place.

Lovely clean and bright rooms. The front rooms are a bit noisy when trains go past. Excellent food in the Bistro and great friendly staff and regulars.

Wonderful staff..nice clean rooms..going back again obviously

Service is always good, food not so good but eat able.

The hotel is a beautiful place for families and communities and the food is Amazing love Doonside Hotel id give 10 star's ☺️

Not the best service. But other then that, it was ok.

Helpful staff and decent food at good prices

Easy access off the highway if travelling in, great service,open late, good food, 600m from the train station and nice rooms for a pub.

Nice place to sit back and enjoy a quiet drink.

Very pleasant with friendly staff. Nice meals at affordable prices.
