Overall, our stay was okay, mainly because the location was excellent. Everything we needed was within walking distance, which made getting around really easy.

There were a few things that let the room down, though. We had booked a room with a king bed, but it was actually two single beds pushed together, which made the bed feel uneven and uncomfortable. The bathroom also had some maintenance issues; water was dripping while showering and even when using the hand basin tap. Another issue was that the window wouldn't close properly because it was missing a handle, and instead there was a screw nailed into the frame which made it uncomfortable to open and close. Which also left a small gap letting the cold draft coming into the room.

The location is definitely the biggest positive, but I think the room could use some maintenance and better attention to the advertised room setup.

*. Lots of parking

To improve

* uncomfortable bed. Stayed in the ‘Sapphire Rooms’. My wife couldn’t sleep
* when we arrived reception was unattended and no call bell. When staff memeber arrived they handed us the room key & gave us the wrong directions to the room
*. There was very minimal natural light in the room. It was winter but we opened the door so we could see some views & get some light

Hotel Frangos-Iconic

Staying in the heart of Daylesford was a pleasure, and Hotel Frangos offered a very central location. Having our own off-street parking was a big plus. The room itself was comfortable, with tea and coffee facilities, a small bar fridge, and a king bed that provided a good night’s sleep. The spa bath was another highlight and our second favourite feature of the stay.
That said, the room did show signs of age and wear. Some light switches were missing buttons, the room lighting was very, very poor, the credenza’s glass top was cracked, and the shower had visible mould. Overall, comfortable and convenient, but in definite need of some urgent updating.
Investing and taking care of this beautiful iconic venue is essential so that it can be preserved for many generations to come. Perhaps the owners Fairwork proceedings and fines did not help

Daylesford is a lovely place to visit with plenty of dining and other options. However, Hotel Frangos was disappointing due solely to the standard of the room we occupied. It was very tired and badly in need of refurbishment. Even the TV in our room was substandard in that there were only two channels. A staff member said there was an outage in the town but this was not correct when we inquired elsewhere.

I stayed at Hotel Frangos during the New Year period. The hotel is situated close to all shops, restaurants and amenities of Daylesford.

Upon arrival, the staff at the reception quickly got us checked into the Monroe room. This particular room features a circular bed with a mirror above the bed. I felt the bed was very comfortable and woke up well rested the following morning

The bathroom has an excellent spa bath, however, does have glass doors which limits privacy. This may be something to be mindful, it’s definitely more suited to couples.

The complimentary Wi-Fi at the hotel was fast and reliable, which was excellent for staying in touch with friends and family as we didn’t have phone reception in Daylesford.

Some of the rooms could use some extra care, as I saw some signs of peeling paint. I hope that the owner could put some funds into maintenance.

2 Star masquerading as 4

2 star hotel advertised as 4 stars. By far the WORST hotel I’ve ever encountered. Arrived to what looked to be a make shift reception, staff looked drunk with terrible body odour. Followed by not being able to find my booking, then not having any keys left. After waiting 30 minutes I was let in my room and told to wait there and someone would bring keys to me. The room was filthy with dead flies on the bed and a bunch more buzzing around the room, and nobody ever came with the keys.
I went back to reception to ask for the keys, then a different man finally got the room the keys. But before handing them to me he sneezed then rubbed his mouth/nose and gave me the keys with the same hand.
I was absolutely disgusted and left the hotel in the same moment. I didn’t even bother to engage for a refund - just an absolute disgrace.

This hotel is not the standard that the pictures depict. In the photos our room should have had a pod coffee machine (Walnut Room 8), it did NOT. The velour headboard was covered in dust and hadn’t been cleaned for months, the same with all of the shirting boards and carpet by the bedsides. None of the HD tv channels worked, the tv was that old. The shower one side had black mould. We arrived 30 minutes before check to be greeted by a rude male staff member who told us in no uncertain terms checkin was 3pm, even though the room was ready. The hotel failed to service our room and we had to locate staff for fresh towels and more toiletries.
In summary avoid this hotel like the plague. Definitely not worth the star rating. We will not return.

The property is fairly run down for the price, and typical of what you’d expect from a 3 star hotel. The bathroom was nice, but the bed was old and terribly soft and uncomfortable. We both had a pretty rough nights sleep due to the bed and noise from other guests. The location of the hotel is the biggest bonus, placed at the top of the Main Street with everything within walking distance. We had a nice time, but we wouldn’t stay again as the hotel is in need of a lot of work and isn’t very clean.

A lovely old building in a great location. The bed was amazing, very comfortable! The bathroom was enormous with a spa and spacious shower.
The downsides to the room was the lack of any kind of storage or space to put anything. Only 2 armchairs and a coat rack, no wardrobe, and i desperately needed an iron which i could only ask for the next day during staffing time.
The bathroom also lacked any storage or shelving. Very impractical. Also the heavy glass doors were quite anoying to have to open each time to go to the bathroom.
The most annoying thing was the lack of any cutlery, only 2 tiny coffee cups , a very small fridge, and nothing to wash dishes with. I don't mind that there was no housekeeping, however there needs to be cleaning stuff and extra soaps, shampoos etc.
