A pleasant stay at Athelstane House

The room #2, was clean and spacious with a private balcony accessed from the room. The breakfast was excellent served by friendly staff with access to outside tables if you prefer rather than to staying inside the breakfast room. The only mild criticism was that the bed was too soft for us as we are used to a much firmer bed.

The room and facilities were very comfortable with a great view from the balcony.

Clean and Peaceful Stay

We’ve stayed a couple of times at Athelstane House and always have a nice time. It’s very quiet and clean. A little bit pricey for the size of the room and amenities, however we had a lovely stay. Breakfast is included in the stay which is really nice. We had soy flat whites, juice and porridge. I would love to see another vegan option included like a tofu scramble or maybe something savoury like beans or mushrooms and toast, etc, but we really appreciate the porridge, juice and coffee regardless. Will definitely return! :)

We stayed one night at Athelstane House. It is an older style boarding house but is in good condition. Our room is spacious, clean and quiet. The bed is a bit on the soft side but ok for a one night stay. There is no individual shower in the bathroom and you have to “climb” into the bath if you are like me I.e. 5’2”. My husband is ok but he is 6’2”. Also, it’s very slippery when it’s wet so I don’t think it’s that good for senior citizens. There are small tubes of shampoo and conditioner and one small soap. No body lotion and body wash which is ok for me but I do suggest at last one more soap for the bath. We have to use the same small soap for bath and washing hands which is still ok but after the shower, I left the soap on the far side of the bath and I won’t bother to climb into and out of the bath again to get the soap so for the rest of the day, I use the shampoo to wash my hands! This is a minor thing but for the price we pay for the room, another bar of soap won’t hurt the profit margin . The staff are nice particularly the lady who served us breakfast in the dining room. Very bubbly and friendly. There are a number of choices for cooked breakfast and I particularly love the “small”breakfast because I don’t eat much and I just wish everyone gives people like me a choice of smaller portion so as not to waste food. The breakfast also includes tea and coffee and orange juice. All in all, we are happy with our stay and would recommend this property.

Relaxing and close to everything!

Room/hotel was peaceful and clean. Service was a little slow at times when waiting for meals (have a 2 year old who is very impatient!). But the ladies were lovely. The hotel was located in a great location walking distance to the beach, trian, food, ferry and shops. Overall a great little boutique place that's relaxing and close to everything.

Nice and clean, polite and friendly staff and great breakfast, however for the price it was a very small room. The lack of a full-length mirror (or indeed any mirror except in the bathroom) also made dressing for the wedding we were attending a challenge.

Athelstane House staying overnight worthwhile

Stayed at Athelstane House in Queenscliff overnight after long distance travelling. Very happy and very comfortable staying at Athelstane Hotel. Athelstane was my third time. The local area is beautiful area with some historical building, visited Ship museum. Been out for dining. Queenscliff is one of my favourite staying places. I drove a travelling long distance from Gippsland and caught ferry at Sorrento for Queenscliff. Save me a lot of time and not boring trip on sea bay. We go to Queenscliff twice every year.

This is a lovely quiet boutique hotel. Warm and very comfortable. The staff are helpful and friendly. There is off street parking for guests. The rooms are welcoming and very clean. I had an open fire place in my room with wood waiting for it to be lit. After a great night's sleep I woke to a delicious breakfast and was on my way for work the next day,
no fuss, very easy. I would definitely stay there again.

Great B&B in lovely Queenscliff

What a lovely small bed and breakfast! We stayed here for a night but could of stayed here for a week- there was a large comfortable bed, luxurious bedding- a great shower and bath combo (great for two people). I opted for the balcony and I think the extra few dollars makes it well worth the money as it adds a nice place to hang out and enjoy the views. Overall very impressed and will be hopefully come back again (For much longer)

The complimentary breakfast was awesome with fresh juices, yummy hot chocolates and amazing pancakes.

This lovely old house was a perfect stopover for ourselves and friends visiting from the UK. The staff were attentive, friendly and cheerful. The room was comfortable and pleasant and the dinner/breakfast menus superb. As an advertisement for Queenscliff, Athelstane House is up there with the best the area has to offer. Thank you to Laurel et al for making us feel so welcome.

Wonderful experience

From the moment we got there, we were welcomed with kindness. Everything about the experience was exceptional. From being in a cosy home environment to a comfortable bed and delicious breakfast. I recommend staying at the Athelstane House, we stayed just the 1 night but will return again for a longer stay.

Hotel was very nice. No complaints. If your elderly and require a walk in shower this maybe a problem unless there are other room types available. Unfortunately, not a lively town.

Nice hotel close to shops and water

A bit quirky as its an old building thats been modified a number of times - glad they kept the period feel & added modern conveniences.
Staff were all very nice to deal with.
We especially liked being able to have dinner below in the restaurant (food was good) and have dessert delivered to our room after!

Great service, fantastic breakfast and beautiful rooms.

There was no fridge in the room and that wasn’t clear when booking online but there was a small fridge for all guests to use.

Overall a great experience and we’d happily stay here again.

A relaxed comfortable and welcoming environment in a central location, old world features combine with contemporary styling. Management and staff were friendly, accommodating and professional. Local food and wine were excellent. Enjoyed the garden setting and fhe light filled common lounge areas. We had a relaxing week and would love to stay again.

Loved this place ...

We absolutely loved Athelstane House and have already made a booking to return. It is charming place in a beautiful location. The service was really excellent, the staff couldn't do enough for us.

The apartment was quirky, with a small bathroom and a kitchen with hotplate and dishwasher. It probably wouldn't suit someone looking for a luxury hotel experience, but it was charming, comfortable, very clean and the opportunity to stay in a historic building was wonderful. We travelled with our 3 year old and there was plenty of space for her to play and for us to relax. We thought the bed might be a little soft when we arrived, but we all slept extremely well.

The food was excellent. We ordered room service one night and we all enjoyed our meals, and the (included) breakfast was amazing.

Athelstane House is in a great location, just off the main street of Queenscliff which has plenty of shops and restaurants, as well as the beach, parks, etc, nearby.
