Very good

Very homely. Beautiful to sit out on balcony at sunset. So convenient to have the restaurant downstairs for casual dining. Sally was so easy to deal with, allowing us to check in early. Thank you!! Have stayed several times before, and will stay again. Home away from home.
Don’t bother, all the cups were dirty and stained, the bathrooms were dirty and noise til 3am

Bedroom comfortable. Ladies bathroom facilities excellent, male facilities less impressive. Very noisy. Kitchen staff and patrons. Other guests extremely noisy, but management responded quickly and responsibly. Excellent location. Parking provided, parked and didn’t use car again until departure. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall a pleasant, affordable stay, in a great location. Inconveniences were acceptable.
didn’t see a soul the whole time we were there and even when we got locked out of the room and had to get in through a small gap in a window I still couldn’t find anyone. There was one guy who I sighted briefly at the end of a corridor who perhaps was living there but he didn’t smoke or say hello just looked at me like I was an intruder! Very weird place.
Lovely owners who were genuinely keen to make sure my experience there was a good one. Cosy clean rooms, clean shared bathrooms, shared kitchenette. Very conveniently located in the middle of town, and with dining options. Definitely will be staying there again!
Great location if your going on the Blues Train, an easy 10 min walk. Our room although small, was clean & bright and the bed was comfy. Dont be put off re the shared bathrooms, they are clean and functional.
Would stay here again.
The room was comfortable, location very good. Obviously an historically old building and as such was a bit worn in parts.
The Male shared bathroom was very small. Otherwise we enjoyed the overnight there
Quaint property, needs more attention to detail, curtains are stained and are not blockout, could use mattress protectors.
The showers in the ladies was weak and ineffective.
It is like old fashioned pub accommodation, but is much quieter and has much better decor and comfort features. My room was clean and I had a good night's sleep.
I liked the charm of the old building and the price of the room.
What I didn’t like was -
1. Nobody to welcome us at checkin, just a text message with our room number and key
2. No comfortable lounge area that you would expect in a guest house
3. No water pressure in the female shower
4. None working smoke alarm in room
5. My husband said hello to a gentleman, not sure who he was but we think he may have been the owner. He did not introduce himself nor did he ask who we were
* I suppose you get what you pay for but I would have expected more

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Circa 1902 is a charming old hostelry with a great restaurant on the ground floor and eas angle parking out front. Daytime restrictions dont matter as you are out and about. It is central and convenient, and clean. The shared bathrooms are a bit poky but manageable. Staff are super friendly and helpful and the door is open mos tof the day. A reading light would have been a useful fitting and bedside located powerpoints. But a great stay and I will be back.
While the building has character, everything is in need of a refresh, especially the men's bathroom. I am happy to share bathroom facilities, but didn't realise it was a shared bathroom between many rooms. One toilet and a shower is not sufficient for the amount of guests staying. Room was clean, but the bed was very wonky.

This is an old building, the rooms a quite small but fine for solo accommodation, the shared bathroom was not a problem for me. it is a great location. I was in Queenscliff for the Blues Train.
Location was great and very easy self checkin and checkout. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom (shared and unisex) was clean. Saw no staff during our stay.
