I worked here in 1993/94 when it was called the New Cobden Hotel. Full of wonderful memories of the good times we staff had together. Customers were not pretentious rich people, just down-to-earth normal folk. Management were great too. We had a Jazz music weekend in the rear gardens and a travel industry weekend conference where all the top companies in domestic and international travel were there including representatives from Qantas, Thomas Cook, British Airways, to name a few. The only issue we ever had as waiting staff was the shortage of spoons. I never knew why. Living in the staff accommodation on Rotton Park Rd was a hoot. Oh well, that was then......
Provides nice bed and rooms. Has shops nearby whrtr u cam get whatever u need.Rooms: 5/5
Attended a private party here in July 2022 it was ok venue, bit small but we enjoyed ourselves. That being said I have been to better venues. I cannot comment on the rooms as we did not stay in hotel.
Last time I was there , there was a lot of violence going on between guests and staff
This has been turned into a homeless hotel so ignore old reviews. This does the job but it's a homeless hotel. I'm disabled and it's not at all accessible alone in a wheelchair, I'm asking constantly for help from staff who tell other residents to help me. I'm not in an accessible room so it's a high bath that I'm slipping around in when I'm showering. We are expected to turn our own rooms but have very limited time to do it and of course being disabled this is difficult for me, also my room was dirty when I arrived. I have water on the floor when I use the bathroom, there's blood on the curtains, ripped flooring, insects in my room, etc. Families are packed into single rooms meaning children screaming in corridors at all hours. If you're in a position that here is where you need to stay then it's probably the best you have but don't come in with promises of a nice hotel, it was in the 80s but it's long since been that.
We had our wedding reception at the Cobden Hotel in the Cobden Suite. Jessine managed the whole event and planning process who did an absolutely fantastic job. She walked us through our plans for the day and asked all the right questions in our pre-event meetings to make it perfect. Thank you so much to the team at Cobden for all your best efforts to make our event special, everything turned out great and the room looked amazing.
Good location, friendly and helpful staff. The building and facilities are dated; some noise dampening in the corridors and room doors would not go amiss. The room was clean and bed comfortable. The bathroom was also well maintained, with no grotty spots hiding. For the price, the experience was good.
It's cheap and cheerful, needs a bit of money spent on it. Very busy on weekends don't know what it's like Mon to Fri. Staff are hard working, they seem to be here constantly. The restaurant menu has lots of choice with affordable prices. Bar prices are comparable with local pubs and has loads of cocktail and shots offers. It seems as though they are slowly improving the place but it is slow. The shower water pressure is extremely fierce, some people might like this. Lovely firm mattresses but they haven't upgraded the bedding. The sheets cannot be tucked in on both sides of the bed because the mattress is too big. All in all a very popular hotel.
We had a 3 bedded room, that had tea making facilities and was clean. The bathroom was a good size but the toilet seat didn't fit and there were no hooks or shelves to put towels or clothes when showering. The location is quite central but very noisy so the windows couldn't be opened during the night. This meant the room was stuffy and the thick duvet uncomfortable. Breakfast was plentiful with the dining room offering a relaxing view over the garden
Shockingly bad. Rooms in desperate need of repair, but the repairs that have been done are a very bad botch job. Cleanliness is a huge problem and there is mould in many rooms. We had changed rooms 3 times before finding a suitable one. The walls of the rooms are extremely thin and you can hear people snoring next door! Owner and manager were nowhere to be seen and when complained all I was offered as a complimentary stay. On another date. No refunds. I will be approaching the hotel standards authority about this place. Avoid!!!!!
