We didn’t have a lot of interaction with staff, but the few were courteous. The room was moderately comfortable. We would have appreciated two chairs rather than assuming you can sit on the bed at all times. We were surprised that there was no window in the room which gave it a cave like feel.

I booked the most basic room and was upgraded which was a lovely surprise. I was nervous after reading some bad reviews however I had a wonderful stay. The room could have been slightly cleaner but it was not terrible, or even bad for that matter. The room was huge, comfortable, warm, nicely decorated. The bath was heaven. And the staff were super lovely. Will definitely be back.

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

The room was lovely however, it was in need of some basic maintenance cracks in the walls, peeling paint. There was a lot of noise early in the morning, could hear a vacuum cleaner, lots of loud voices & generally people walking around. It was very conveniently located and a lovely hotel, would be keen to visit again in the summer months. Very nice location.

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.
