The hotel was great except it is advertised as having air conditioning while only some rooms have a/c. Unbeknownst to us on booking, was not one of them and it was 97 degrees so we were unable to sleep. This is the 1st thing I check on all hotels before I book -air con & bathroom so I was quite unpleasantly surprised and I was not the only guest to feel this way

Underwhelming rooms, but great restaurant
This was a stop over on a road trip with a mate. Busy afternoon in the hotel & initially had trouble finding someone to check us in. One of the least impressive rooms on our roadtrip, especially for the price. Set up of the room was quite unusual, with toilet on one side of the room & the bathroom on the opposite side of the room, requiring a walk around the main bed to get between the two. Quite a few pieces of furniture in the room, which made the room feel quite small. Small bathroom & shower & beds were not the most comfortable. At 190cm I had to lay diagonally so that my feet didn't overhang. The highlight of the hotel was the restaurant. Great atmosphere & food.

Ageing infrastructure in reasonably good condition. Bathroom of necessity very small and lacking hanging space and shelving for personal toiletries. Generous provision of natural herbal wash, shampoo and skin lotion. Staff member went above and beyond to assist in rearranging room .

Disliked: Amenities
Firstly we couldn’t find an entrance into the place, as it was closed. Had to ring to gain entry. Secondly we booked a room on the ground level with sea views. We were given an upstairs room and the “view” was out the door, across the hallway and through another door which was roped off so we got a tiny underwhelming view. Whoever does the marketing for this place is a genius. What we got as opposed to what we thought we were getting was worlds apart and for the price we paid we have stayed in far superior places for a fraction of the cost. We live and learn.

Not worth the price
This hotel was fairly pricey. I expected a much cleaner and more comfortable room. Hotel is very rundown and room was not comfortable. I am always careful about writing bad reviews, but felt it is warranted in this case.

This is a heritage older style building with older style furnishings and fixtures. The paintwork is chipped in places, the floorboards need repolishing and the carpet needs replacing. HOWEVER- Henry makes it all worthwhile. The spa suite seafront rooms are beautiful and the location is fabulous. The budget rooms are just that - small and quite basic - but in keeping with the spirit of the old days. The restaurant is great. Note the budget rooms have private bathrooms but these are not in the room. So you need to walk down the corridor to open with your key.

Enjoyed our stay (wish we had been able to stay longer!) in this beautiful old building. The room was in the old part of the building, so we had a gorgeous room with all the wonderful old features and access to the front verandah. The views from the verandah over the ocean was amazing. Wish the room has a microwave though… Would definitely stay here again :)

This is a beautiful old hotel with stunning views of the beach. Stayed on a Saturday night and very peaceful. Staff were lovely and friendly. Especially Amy. Only suggestion is that the beds could do with a little upgrade or mattress topper. Restaurant downstairs with an amazing open fire. Highly recommend for stunning Victor Harbor.

We stayed in a heritage room which has older more colonial features, part of this charm means you have to adapt, but this hotel is across the road from the ocean, a short walk into the main square and has oodles of character.

Perfect location, very comfy lovely room
Beautiful location and a gorgeous old-style room. We had our own little section of balcony, too, which had a lovely view of the water. The bed was very comfy ...sadly the next morning the hot water ran out after one of us had a shower (prob 5-7min?)... So just something to be aware of. The bar/restaurant downstairs has amazing food and is very cosy. Would defs stay here again.

A convenient location but the room, whilst clean was spartan and tired. Tatty lace curtains with rips and holes did not leave a good impression. Staff were great; having the cafe on the premises was also good when travelling.

The building is tired. The room was clean and smelt nice. The reception person was, abrupt when we arrived . We were held up so didn’t get there until 4.45 and she wanted to go home I suppose. The front office shut at five, the restaurant was closed with no notice. All in all it could have been better. But as we were there for the dawn service which was across the road it was convenient and we could go into the town centre for dinner.
