stayed in room 7, at check in was told room 7 but given a key for room 6.. after going for lunch and coming back, our key wasn't working at all. the managers came around and said they were looking for the key for room 6 and i said it wasn't working for our door but it worked at check in, she then said "oh that shouldn't have worked".... we then got the key for room 7. our stay wasn't bad for the price, the area doesn't seem very good but i'm not mad, it was a cheap room. check out was difficult as no employees seem to be onsite until 10am, although the booking says check out ends at 10am.. we ended up leaving the key in the room and locking it, seeing as they have a master key for all the rooms anyway.

Do not let the pictures fool you the pics provided must be from years and years ago. It's looks like a crack den in person, such a dodgy looking place. Stay away

Great staff and excellent security guard on tonight- thanks for keeping everyone safe Rosie you made our night one to remember

Great place to do a documentary on meth or buy it worst hotel in Mackay it's a Bio-Hazard thank goodness it gets knocked down in the new year new beginnings and new staff

Please do yourself a favour and don't stay at this place. Got around 2 hours sleep all night, very dodgy people coming and going from the rooms all night and hours of the morning, not a safe place to stay at all, have to get blankets from the office at check in time as they don't come with the room. If that doesn't tell you the kind of people that must stay at this place then I don't know what will. Please do your self a favour and don't stay here it's not safe!

I stopped by briefly tonight. It's run down, abit eerie, most of the venue is empty and closed off completely due to low patronage. Very hot in the pub and it's deserted most days. The rooms must be nice and cosy as in winter pythons 🐍 manage to make their way into the motel rooms somehow... If i had to guess their point of entry I'd say they're probably using the holes in the roof.
Despite it's pitfalls, the establishment deserves the same chance at running a successful establishment like the others around Mackay are doing so hopefully this post won't impact too negatively on trade as they are clearly struggling as a business as it is.

Used to go here at times as I live close by. It's been awhile, however I stopped by briefly tonight, and didn't make any purchases on this occasion however I definitely noticed that it appears to have continued to go downhill steadily since my last visit unfortunately.

Please support this stuggling business as their staff seem proud to work here and deserve the same chance at running a successful establishment like the others around Mackay are doing. Keep up the good work guys ??'?🏻

It is very old building. The air conditioner is not enough to keep the room cool.. It is very hot inside the room.

Hi there, just wanted to say. We love the Kooyong!
The hot seat is awesome, You just need a beer and your butt in a seat. Every 15 mins someone wins $30 😀
Happy hour is cheap as chips and the beer is always cold and served with a smile and a chat, best staff ever!!
We get the remote to play whatever music we like.
We have only been in town for about one month gone to a couple of pubs around town to get a feel for a new watering hole" WE GOT IT!
KOOYONG HOTEL IS THE BEST PLACE IN MACKAY. We travel from northern beaches each time due to the amazing service they provide.
They don't serve food but they are fine with you bringing your own in.
The pool table is nice and clean and great cues for you to use.
I have lived all up and down the coast and been to heaps of pubs and I have to say the Kooyong is in my top 5 for Australia.
Keep up the great work. We love your faceholes. See you this weekend!!

Such good fun. Warm and welcoming staff. Plenty of entertainment.

Terrible aircon does not cool the room down at all.

Fan does nothing either.

The door has a crease about 1cm or so on both doors for mosquitos and midges to bite you over all got barely any sleep because of this had to put towels near door to prevent bugs coming into room. There was marks on walls and indints/holes.

The hotel does not look like anything in advertised photos it's more run down and terrible if I had of known I would have never of stayed.

105. Plus a 50 refundable deposit to stay there. And now have to wait 3-5 business days for the $50 back this hotel shouldn't charge more then $69 a night honestly worst hotel I've ever been to need redoing the whole thing.

Not enjoyable will not ever be going back.

Top notch pub. Super Cold beer and friendly staff. Friday night meats trays are a winner. And Tuesday hot seat for pub cash.

Got back in to Mackay after an 84 hour week to find that they have canceled my reservation because I share the same (common) name as some looser who has been black listed by them.
They think that it is acceptable because they made a reservation for me at a dingy place that will cost more due to short notice and school holidays and my money will be refunded in 7-10 working days.
What an absolute stuff around.

Not bad for the price you pay, the floor was more comfortable than the beds. I recommend you bring you own mattress if you don't like sleeping on the floor.

It's quite, good parking, cold beer 🍺 an close to where I have to work. My room was fine, just have to ask for more sugar, milk or tea, overall I'd stay there again. 🍻

I liked it here, peaceful while i woz there, it may not look like much but it had all i required and a comfy bed, and hot shower, the staff were nice as well. Id say i would stay here again. ??'?

Sorry about last review wasn't meant to be 2 star was ment to be 5. Staff has always been fantastic, drive thru is great. Pokie room is fabulous only wish use did takeaways over the bar but all is awesome cheers guys

Staff was good but really hotel in bad n horrible state especially bathroom n toilets have geckos

What a shame, absolutely dead! Will have to try some other time

Very nice looking pub accommodation was what we needed

Was the best pub 10- 15 years ago, old school days...

The best staff ever

Fantastic! On the spot friendly service, they take good care of their customers. Excellent pricing, they make your day and put a smile on your face when you stay.

Decent stop over spot.Room was extremely hot and fan was loud with only one setting - made it really hard to sleep.Beds were okay but not massively comfy and shower head was dodgy - pressure wasnt good and couldnt adjust the shower head for taller guests. Very appreciative that there was a fridge, microwave and kettle in our room though - and the coffee and tea was a nice touch too.Staff at the reception desk were friendly and helpful - there was a mix up with our booking but they got it sorted quickly.

We just stayed on night to drive to Rocky on the nextday. Room was okay. We meet some cockroaches and we found da cup of coffee in the microwave. The soap as a treatment was already open in the bag. The bathroom was clean just of the spiders in the corners. Staying for one night is fine but not for longer
