The hotel doesn't sell meals, but has a supermarket and shops across the road where you can buy food. For the best pub food in Goulburn, walk a few minutes down the main road to the Hibernian, which has a busy bistro.

Small pub with great, renovated rooms. Had everything you needed for a brief overnight stay. We arrived late and it was easy to check in. Access from the outside stairs and parking out the back. Very safe. Very quiet on a Wednesday night but not sure about the weekends!!! But to be expected for a pub. Great price point.

Terrible. We had no choice but to check in even though the last said a DJ was coming and playing till 3am. But they supplied earplugs ( which did nothing because it was so loud my bed was vibrating). I would have stayed somewhere else but we had passed the cancellation period and were charged anyway. Was aweful. Only for 4 hts sleep
