Amaroo Hotel Dubbo

Great Location! Has everything you need to keep you entertained for your stay, Food, bars, Nightclub, Arcadia(games area).

Great stopover on our way to QLD . The staff were amazing - friendly and very welcoming. Bistro in hotel was fantastic. Meat, vegetables and great salads- no hunting for a meal after a long drive The bed was wonderful, and the room very clean. The room had character which adds to a hotel.

We booked this on short notice. We were staying at Western Plains Taronga Zoofari and didn't get to explore things like the Dubbo gaol in town, so we decided to add a night. As 40 year veterans of the Hospitality industry, my wife behind the bar and me usually in front of it, we had a very good idea of what we were getting into. We stayed on a Friday night, and a quick check of the socials we saw that a DJ show was scheduled for that night, but we heard pretty much just muffled sound, nothing to disturb us. Space was tight, It was clean where it counts, Aircon filter could of used a bit of attention, walls and carpet had a bit of a tale to tell, but to me it is nice to know if you accidentally add a sentence to the story - downstairs ain't gunna sweat too much, as always adding a paragraph or chapter you will be looking for trouble but... Talking about downstairs- the staff were so helpful and friendly, the food was awesome. The position is also awesome really central, just make sure you take advantage of the car park if you have booked, the council parking police are very diligent in their enforcement of the one hour limit for street parking. One last thing. Amaroo- add toilet brushes to the bathroom. After the bistro had shut, I had a craving for a hot chilli Kebab, went a couple of doors down and got one. Next morning - in the immortal words of the 12th man Billy Birmingham, I damaged the Doulton quite a bit. We did make a big effort to clean it brushless with a lot of flushing, but apologies to the person that ended up with the job of cleaning it.

Dropped in for drink at the bar, and it was pretty uninspiring!! The young lady who served us was nice enough, just the pub is at a different level. Just the level it’s at is probably in the 80’s. It could be so much better, and it’s really well located in the heart of Dubbo.

Looked ok in the photos so I said to my offsides alright mate we will try this one for the night Now don’t get me wrong I wasn’t expecting a great deal but after I had paid for the two rooms the receptionist/bar server said with a grin “ you need to go up those stairs behind you then open a door with your room key and go up two more flights of stairs to get to your room on the third floor” I said what about the lift, again with a grin “oh it doesn’t work” Ok so we go upstairs to our rooms and as I previously mentioned I didn’t expect 4 star accommodation. The room barely fitted the bed let alone a small bar fridge, the carpet was, well I’m not sure if it was once dark grey and faded in spots or it has stains all over it. Oh well let’s go down to the bistro and see what time it opens hahaha “sorry we will have to change the sign as it is not open on a Monday night. Needless to say I will never be coming back to this place

The room was small but adequate for our needs, the bed was very comfortable and facilities okay, we were able to have a hot shower with plenty of water. We would recommend the Amaroo hotel to family and friends. Personnel were friendly and helpful.

It's pretty unreal that this can even be a place that is advertised as a place of accomodation. I've spent $100 a night in some low budget places but the Amaroo is 5 levels below that. A window that opened only 5cm but let a bunch of spiderwebs in, a door that let hallway light in and rattled in the wind that breezed through the building, a bathroom room with a sink falling off the wall and leaking drain, a shower recess without a shower door, causing the door frame to rust, no toilet brush. Zero furniture in the room, the fridge just sat in the corner with a kettle on top. There was a mysterious stain on the ceiling paint peeling and mouldy orange around it. Carpet didn't look preofessionally cleaned for 5 years, and lumpy carpet throughout the hotel. definitely won't return or recommend.

Not user-friendly for people with disabilities like myself (acquired brain injury) - elevator wasn't working, therefore had to climb 4 flights of stairs. One of the wall railings was missing which made it unsafe for me to use the stairs. These factors meant that I became very unsteady, out of balance and out of breath. How this place could be listed on your website and pass WHS regulations is beyond me. Staff attitude upon arrival seemed like she didn't want to be there. Taps in bathroom were broken. We left within 10 mins of arriving. Losing $100-odd was nothing compared to my safety.

The fact that there was no lift and we were on the third floor was the biggest disappointment. I will never stay here again. There were so many small details that could be remedied, such as I wished there was a blanket as I could not sleep due to it being cold. I would have like the option of a second pillow. Enough said, it's run down and tired. Very tired.
