    Very Good

    Very good

    Pros: The hotel was close to the Federation University, where I was attending a 5 day course. It was easy to walk to and from both venues. It was close to a few cafes, and not far from the central shopping area, and the Arts precinct.
    Cons: I enjoyed everything.

    Mr

    Wonderful

    Great place to stay in...

    Pros: I have stayed previously so knew what to expect. Location is excellent and the olde world charm is certainly there. Their restaurant is first class, food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of food. I had breakfast and dinner there several times during my stay.
    Cons: There was only one thing that I was disappointed in this time, and that was that it appears that simple maintenance has not been carried out recently on my room. The toilet seat had one of the two rear screws missing so it slid from left to right, the window curtain holding bracket was missing a screw and was only holding by a thread, and the curtain in the bathroom was broken and could not be raised. Simple items that should have been noticed. I really enjoy staying at Craigs Royal and this will not put me off staying there again. This I'm sure is a one off thing for some reason, and should not put you off staying there either, it is a great historic Hotel.

    Old World Charm

    Pros: The location was excellent. We loved the old world charm and history.
    Cons: We were not offered any help with luggage to our rooms, and you had to navigate a set of stairs down and a set up even when you took the lift. The poker machines were off-putting and would stop me from staying there again. Staff were run off their feet; I get how hard it is to get staff, as I am in the hospitality business.
