The Denison Boutique Hotel offers luxury accommodation that will take you back in time. Built in 1885 it has been beautifully brought back to life. Starting with the choice of being picked up from the station or airport in a 1938 Rolls Royce, then delivered to our establishment which is surrounded by roses and hedged gardens. Each room with their 4.8m high ceilings and period style furnishings will give you the relaxed feeling of being some where totally luxurious. The Denison Boutique Hotel provides for our guests the highest quality comforts, a king size four posted bed, two person spa, 42” plasma television and wireless internet, while complemented with a high standard of friendly service. All of these features and benefits, including a gourmet breakfast for each guest daily will complete your experience.
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We found the Denison Boutique Hotel by accident here on TripAdvisor and booked it for a weekend getaway for our Wedding Anniversary and are so glad we did. The staff are so amazing, friendly and helpful. I rang to arrange a surprise for my wife and they went out of their way to help. On check in we got upgraded, the a/c was on so the room was cool and inviting. The period furniture was not only aesthetically pleasing it was clean an comfortable as was the whole room. I had read some reviews about noisy rooms etc but that was far from our experience. thank you to the staff, we enjoyed every minute of our stay and will be back

The building is historic, and it has a focus on the 1880s feel with the furniture, it could have been great - if it was clean and fit for purpose as accommodation! It's 4.8m high walls were covered with dust, the skirting boards hadn't been cleaned, there was dirt and dust behind and on top of the furniture and under the bed, and mould on the windows. All of which is bad for your health and dangerous, particularly you're asthmatic or prone to hayfever. When you close the door you can still hear noise and feel the breeze from the outside. The hotel sits right on the train line, and I was repeatedly woken up by the coal freight trains through the night. I considered speaking with the staff, but after walking around the building it was evident these issues would be in all the…

Thank you very much for taking your time to leave us your feedback. Let me start by apologising and how horrified we are with the experience you had. Please rest assured that this is absolutely not the standards that we adhered to. Unfortunately we have recently lost some of our key staff members and this is the handy work of the new staff member that have now been let go. We have also let go the new house keeping manager, as she was not adhering to our standards of cleanliness. All the rooms are now undergoing yet another round of deep cleaning to insure our high quality of cleanliness. Again we sincerely apologise for our oversight and we hope we get another chance to welcome you back and make it up to you.

What a find, this grand old lady was superb, great old two storey building, all of the doors open to the outside. The price for what you get is very resonable. The rooms very spacious, every room has a HUGE 4 poster bed that you sink into. There is also a couch to sit on so lots of places to relax. Im not a fan of sinks and baths in the actual bed space but it kindof worked, every room had a corner spabath with overhead shower, those of you wanting to have romance should enjoy this set up. I actually stayed here twice second time on my way back from Cairns to Melbourne. The staff all friendly, i partookofthe continental breakfast and for $10 a bargain, again set in a beutiful period room. Pub across the road with good pub nosh and not far to walk to all the historical bits of…

Dear Antinmelb, Thank you for taking the time to leave us your very lovely and wonderful review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay, not once but twice with us. The continental breakfast is absolutely superb and great value for the $10 you pay. The Great Western is quite popular among all of our guests as it is not only convenient but they put on a great feed and have some amazing entertainment. We look forward to welcoming you back again next time. Kind Regards Denison Boutique Hotel

My wife and I got Covit, and could not make our booking. The Manager told us we would be refunded. No Refund was given and we were happy to get a credit to return but No , flat out refused, Not very Nice people to deal with, and so rude over the Phone. They Blocked our reviews .

Dear Tourist00419468026, Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review again. We have not blocked your reviews, we have indeed replied to every review that you have left us across numerous platforms. Hence, again we are replying to another one of your reviews now. You were not told that you would get a refund. It was very simply explained to you the conditions of the restrictive rate of which you purchased/ booked. When booking this rate, it is asked 3-4 times if you would like to confirm this rate and along the way of making the booking it is also explained to you the conditions of that restrictive rate. Our staff do all that they can to be accommodating and helpful in all matters, even when they are treated disrespectfully. Unfortunately name calling and inappropriate behaviour is not tolerated at our establishment. We do apologise for the inconvenience caused. Kind Regards Denison Boutique Hotel

Stayed at the Denison last night. It was a wonderful experience. The decor is Victorian/Federation and the facilities were tasteful, clean and very comfortable. The staff greeted us cordially and made us welcome even thought it was quite late in the day. The room was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended if you want to stay in a place that oozes old world charm from a bygone era, but with all the modern conveniences. Our only observation was that the bed, whilst huge and comfortable had a mattress and pillows softer than we are used to. That is not a criticism, just a personal preference. Otherwise, perfect.

This is one of the best places we have stayed at for a romantic getaway for a couple, soon as we opened the door it was a “wow” factor, bed was massive, spa was excellent and we felt like a King & Queen. Definitely will be returning and highly recommend

This colonial styled hotel is a delight to visit. The furnishings, the extremely high ceilings, the big 4 poster, very comfy bed, the spacious rooms and the spa bath made for a beautiful atmosphere. Unfortunately our spa had been fixed during the day and despite the best efforts of onsite staff the air lock couldn’t be sorted but it was neither here nor there to us. The Manager wanted to give us another room and was really concerned about the lack of facility. The offer was genuinely appreciated but not necessary. We were disturbed once through the night by a passing goods train but the thick walls toned down the noise and we decided it was a small price to pay for the experience of being here. All in all - a great time was had by all.

The photos on line must have been photoshopped as the actual hotel looked heaps different to what we were expecting. We were expecting a huge garden with areas to go for a wander. What we had is a very small garden (nicely manicured) and no areas to walk or relax. Directly opposite a main pub, on a busy road and in the middle of an industrial area. The actual building does look lovely and has a lot of character. The room we stayed in has very high ceilings, a 4-poster bed and a spa bath. The tv had poor reception but we managed to fill the time up in other ways. We didn't have a meal as this was unavailable during our stay but the room for eating looked really quaint and old fashioned, just as our room did too.

Dear Sandy, thank you for taking time to leave us your feedback, we are happy to hear you loved the rooms and building. As we are the old admin office for the railway since 1885 we unfortunately cannot escape our heritage. Our photos are not photoshopped and are actually very accurate depictions of our small boutique Hotel. We are sorry to hear that you thought there was a huge garden to wander, we have a small manicured garden that is lovely for relaxing and taking in the sun. We unfortunately do not have a kitchen so we can not provide meals but we are situated across the road from the great western which have lovely food and service, we also provide a continental breakfast in the morning in our dining room. Thank You, Have a lovely day.

We had an overnight stay at the Denison Boutique Hotel , the Hotel was clean and well kept , earplugs on the dresser set off a few alarm bells though , its located close to the train track and we heard 2 trains overnight, it overlooks a quite industrial area also , there was a lovely big spa in the room but the bath salts had to be purchased (not complimentary) thats a first for us many options for accommodation in Rockhampton probably will try somewhere else next time

Dear 162SueB. Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are delighted you found our hotel clean and well kept and our Spa was to your liking. We do not hide our railway heritage and we have a railway line that runs in front of the property which is visible on the map and yes we do offer complimentary ear plugs for light sleepers. Hope to see you again.
