Hotel Victoria's Wategos (Byron Bay, Australia)

You will find the accommodation to be ideal for relaxing and enjoying nature. Being only minutes from the beach you can take a cooling swim, have a stroll to the lighthouse, watch the dolphins and whales, or simply relax and enjoy the sunset from the terrace.

Guests say that the small touches they found included at the property, such as port and chocolates, newspapers, morning coffee and freshly baked cakes offered in the lounge, make their stay feel more special.

Some guests have said that while the hotel might be a bit ‘old fashioned' in places, this only lends itself to giving the building its character and charm. If you are looking for a getaway for two - with no kids in tow - this hotel is worth a second look.

Some guests felt that their rooms were smaller than they would like and said that in a property of this type they would have expected them to be more spacious. However, rooms are said to be comfortable and welcoming.

It is not a major negative, but some guests have said that they felt disappointed that a hotel towards the higher end of the price scale does not give its guests a complimentary breakfast.

Some guests have expressed some disappointment with the quality of service they received. It is not necessarily that service was bad as such, but more that the guests expected it to be better than it was. If personal service means a lot to you, rather than staff who might be more inclined keep their distance, this is something to bear in mind.
