Royal Exchange Hotel

It’s a quaint old hotel that used to be a pub. It’s centrally located in town and we walked everywhere. It was quiet, clean and comfortable. We liked the ambience and art deco style. We were promptly greeted by a happy staff member. The squeaky floor boards walking up and down the stairs made it feel old worldly and added atmosphere to the place. Our room had a comfortable king bed with balcony access. Shower/bath set up. Spacious room with fan and aircon. Breakfast $15pp if needed. We didn’t eat in. Plenty of cafés around town. Street parking. Night access key to front foyer door. No lift.

There wasn’t anything not to like

Comfortable bed. Spacious. Lovely breakfast room. Very good continental breakfast. Shower good.

Arrived after hours and had extreme difficulty opening the locked box containing the key. There were 2 gangs of youths in streets, so a very nerve wracking experience. After a phone call we gained entry. We had been told room 12 so we went straight to it only to find the room occupied. Then discovered our room had been changed. In the room the carpet was very stained and the air con was not to be set below 22degrees or it would freeze up. Room hadn't been cooled and we were in the middle of an extreme heat wave, so we were physically distressed for some time. Still, we enjoyed our stay and found the staff very helpful.

Location was perfect - right in the middle of town and a very easy walk from the station. Access to verandah with interesting views. Plenty of parking in the street. Easy walk to all the activities and pubs in Broken Hill. Staff went out of their way to assists us. When it looked like the train back to Sydney would be delayed, they even put a room aside for us - without I even needing to ask. So thoughtful and helpful. Lots of suggestions for activities and meals. Rooms small, but nicely appointed and very comfortable and very quiet, given the central location. We stayed for a week. And I'd stay there again without hesitation... I forgot to mention the Lounge - a comfortable spot to relax and read the paper or a book.

nothing. Just a lovely place to stay. Made even better by the friendly and helpful staff.

Great location on main st of Broken Hill with main st views from balcony. General layout and facilities at the venue were good, finishes, cleanliness and such were up to expected standard for venue as advertised.

No restaurant open during our stay. No cooked breakfasts or evening meals available at the venue. No off street or secure parking of any kind available at the venue or in near vicinity.

Our balcony room was extremely comfortable and spacious. The bathroom was very clean with great lighting. The continental breakfast , in the former dining room, was generous. The reception staff were extremely helpful and lovely.

As the hotel is older, it should perhaps advise that there is no lift for older patrons . There is a fabulous staircase, but it may be problematic for some. Similarly, the shower was in the bath in our room. This may also be difficult for some .

Very central, can walk to breakfast and dinner. Good sized room. Great ambience. Very quiet at night. Nicely furnished. Being able to turn on all lights etc from bedside table was very handy.

Only disappointment was having to park across the road. No parking attached to hotel. Fine for our weekend stay but during the week 4 hr parking rule could be a nuisance.

I liked the deep, long bath in our spacious en suite, the comfortable bed. The hotel has a grand, old-fashioned feeling of luxury and a heritage vibe. Both staff members at reception were exceptionally friendly and informative about the town and the area.

The bed could have been located closer to the window so that the wardrobe and fridge door could be opened properly. It would have been nice if the bar adjacent to Reception had been open for a drink, as it looked like an interesting room.

nicely maintained old style hotel with lots of character. staff were very accommodating to our choice of room.

wifi does not work in every room. housekeeper did a bare minimum job of cleaning our room. $15 continental breakfast includes only instant coffee. for real coffee we had to go outside the hotel. I would consider the breakfast good value if it included real coffee.

A lovely well kept hotel from days gone by. Rooms are accessed by stairs. The room was a good size with a desk and two lounge chairs. Big bathroom with all the toiletries you would need. It was quiet and no problem getting street parking. Great location, easy walking distance to a number of attractions and plenty of places to eat.

As a consequence of Covid the restaurant is closed for dinner, but breakfast is provided

The room was comfortable nd the airconditioner quiet. I requested a microwave and it was provided. The tv was at eye level not on the ceiling which makes watching comfortable.

Loose unattached coathangers as well as fixed would be useful. They were provided on request.
