For being Victoria's oldest licensed hotel at almost 200 years old, it's held up extremely well. Pros: Reasonably priced per night, staff were very friendly, walkable to town centre with many unique shops close by. Food in the restaurant was the usual pub fare, however, be careful when ordering the chicken parma. They were MASSIVE. They could easily be shared by two. Even nearby tables were laughing at how big they were. Cons: Bathrooms are odd. Tiny. The shower stall was sunken about 4 inches (10 cm) below ground/grade. We have no idea why, but an accident waiting to happen getting in and out of. Easy to trip and fall if not looking. The shower head was also very low. One of average height would need to bend down to get under it. Otherwise, a lovely stay at this hotel.

The Caledonian Inn has done a great renovation. We loved the furniture. Our room was tiny, but had everything we needed. We loved eating at the Stump.

Check-in via the pub is odd especially when it's busy. Fortunately we were there on a Sunday so closing time was 10pm. Had it been a saturday I can imagine the area would be noisy. Being in the room right next to the garden was fine for us. Room was good for one night.

The Caledonian is an interesting old pub, but the rooms are near the outside beer garden so the music was able to be heard until late on Friday and Saturday nights. The staff were excellent.

Great location, beautifully clean room and loved all the renovated features. Bed was very comfortable and quality linens appreciated 🙏 All our needs inside the room were well met 👍 Outside felt a bit too cosy/close to neighbours as they spent a lot of time sitting outside smoking and drinking. We could hear all their conversation and their cigarette smoke drifted to our room, so we had to keep our door and window shut. Otherwise, excellent! 🙏☺️
