The sink/basin in the washroom was really small and the water was splitting all over on the bathroom floor.

Lisa
Really like beautiful old buildings with modern interior design like this one. Everything was pretty good. Mattress was comfy. Pub food was good too. Cleaning could be improved (eg exterior windows & windowsills need a good clean) and AC in rooms needs to run to ensure the hallways & rooms stay must free.
Michael
Room was good, staff were really helpful and friendly, amenities were very good.

Shower had not been cleaned properly there was mould and scum.

As listed in the review, the stay has been very pleasant and the staff extremely helpful. Walking distance to cafe’s and shopping. Highly recommend.
Ashley
Always a comfy and convenient stay. Only feedback is the bathroom glass shelf above basin makes it difficult to wash face/rinse mouth etc and choice of tap makes it easy to splash water on floor.
Ignazio

Modern and cozy rooms, very clean. Make sure you ask for a room
Not on main road, otherwise you hear trucks passing all night. I liked it, just the road noise made it hard to sleep.

Good central location. Very clean quiet hotel. Just check that your room key works on the out of hours door. Apart from that, highly recommend.
Margaret
Beautiful old pub with quality renovations. Fabulous dining room with lots of options and a great wine list. The bedrooms were on the small side but very comfortable and so nice to see a coffee machine. It was a very convenient stay on our trip to Melbourne. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Simply the Best in Gippsland
My stay at The Criterion in Sale Vic was fantastic! The staff are always incredibly welcoming and helpful, the rooms are always spotlessly clean and comfortable, and the restaurant always has a great variety of delicious options. The location is perfect for my business and personal needs, and I always appreciate the friendly service from Rex, Chad and the team. Definitely my go to accomodation In Sale when I travel to Gippsland for work.

Carmel
Great stay as always
Marlin
A nicely renovated hotel, rooms are small but nicely done. Unfortunately the beds are horrendous, honestly the hardest I have ever slept in. I went for dinner downstairs and the staff seemed confused and one young man behind the bar was too busy trying to be cool than actually providing good service. Food was very delicious and plenty of it. A real mixed bag here!

Marion
The heater in room 7 was not working properly and there should be a light in the cupboard where the tea and coffee making area is.
Brett
Great place to stay, comfy rooms
Laurie
Great value for money. Stayed in an original room with stunning wallpaper. Bit noisy from patrons downstairs and no internet on tv, but not an issue for 1 night.
Nadia
Quiet, clean and comfortable. A really nice place to stay and great place to eat. Helpful staff who were very accommodating. Would definitely stay again
Yuri
The room in photos lokks many times better. In real life one of the smallest and dull rooms ever stayed in. The hotel was almost empty and they gave us a room with a view to solar panels. Very disaapointing
Janette
Really nice place to stay. Quiet room. Close to everything. Excellent dining and bar service
Darren
VERY small rooms, not for the sales person on the road, limited space, very small desk.
Rochelle
The room (10) was small, there was no luggage racks or much space. The bathroom/toilet sink was extremely small. The room was clean. Staff at the hotel were very polite and engaging. The restaurant/Bar attached to this hotel is the draw. The menu was seasonal and the food was very good. Five stars for the restaurant.

The rooms are small but this is a renovated pub. I had a room with no windows but it was very comfortable and fit for purpose. Great for an overnight stay.
Sandy
A small room but excellent for a single person for only one night
Salvatore
Everything about this place was brilliant from the cleanliness and conditions to the great service and convenience. The staff are friendly and the pub makes by far, the best parmigiana in Victoria!
Glenn
Didn’t use any of the Hotels facilities other than a room which was small but adequate. Paid for queen room got a double bed which was terribly uncomfortable and left me with a bad back. Let down the whole experience of what could have been an enjoyable stay.
Janine
Best place to stay in Sale
Great experience, quiet and comfortable room, amazing meal in the restaurant downstairs!
Graham
The initial wlcome from the the staff on receptiopn was excellent and informative and friendly. The room was accessible via lift and the rooms were small but very coimfortable with very clean bathroom and a fully stocked bar (I probably used too much of). While there was no breakfast, the evening meal was very good, I had the steak and my friend had the barramundi with a side of veggies and a long island iced tea. The whole stay and experience was very pleasant with all staff being firiendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place to stay and enjoy if you are in the Sale area, in fact even if you are not then go out of your way to spend a night or two in tyhis fantastic restasblishment.
Debbie
Gorgeous building and delightful room. We were pleasantly surprised on arrival and our experience did not disappoint!
