The guide books described the hotel is renovated. This was true of the bar and dining areas, however the rooms were certainly dated. Our "beach" view room was more beach glimpses through the dirty windows and trees across the road. The hotel is really basic Aussie pub accommodation. I would suggest looking a little more around town rather than being... more

We booked our trip through the Lorne Hotel website, emails were responded to quickly and all questions were answered. Our lunch at the hotel was a tad expensive but we knew this going in (their website has a menu & price list.) Produce was lovely, portions generous, service professional but not overly effusive, could happily recommend both the giant T-bone... more

Lets start with the positives - Location, excellent, view - we were staying in Room 1 of the Hotel which was a Spa Room with Balcony, although the balcony was only small and was shared by the other rooms the view's were magnificent, the sound of the crashing waves could be heard all night, yes its a little noisey (after... more

Old hotel in process of being done up a little. Room was ok. No blind on door to balcony which was shared with other rooms. When reported we were told "thats just how it is and virtually bad luck, but most people respect other peoples privacy." Not good enough, service was poor as far as reception went. Reported a blown... more

What a rip-off. this Hotel has a corner on the pub market in Lorne and uses it accordingly. We were lined up for dinner at 7.45 with 1 register working very slowly on a very hot night. One of the staff a young guy takes 5 minutes to get another register working then yells at the top of his voice... more

I stayed at this Lorne hotel recently(begining december 2008) just for stopover, one night. We stayed second floor number 5... oh my goodness!!!! Under this hotel B1, there is a bar(camel...), with loud music and a lot of youngs... who made a noise, scream, and drunk until... i don't know what time... maybe until 3-5 o clock in the morning?... more

Stopped here as our first stop along the GOR and got a walk-in price of $100 pn for an ocean view balcony room. This was apparently discounted from $140, so that was good. The room was very nice, with a comfortable bed and a solid 4 star fitout. The bathroom was spacious and well lit with heat lamps (which were... more

This was our first stop on the great ocean road, and we had a lovely room with a great view.The bed was comfy and the bathroom was nice. Parrots come and land on the balcony and squawk alot, so take earplugs if this will bother you. The restaurant stopped serving at 8 so we went to a local restaurant where... more

I was organizing a girls' trip for the weekend and this was the only accommodation available so I wasn't expecting very much. I booked the balcony/ocean view room for 4 people. The room was surprising big with high ceilings. The beds were comfortable but I found minor stains on my blanket. The bathroom was a good size but for some... more
