Service was quite poor, food took a long time to come out and others who arrived after us were served before us. When food arrived steak was very undercooked - asked for medium but got basically blue. Had mash and veg as well and mash was barely passable with basically half a potato buried in it, and it was dry and flavourless, veg was limp and cold. Staff were informed and said they'd issue a refund, but this has not occurred. Only saving grace of the meal was the schnitzel was adequate at best and filling. Other than that, would not recommend, unless you enjoy mediocre food and service.

Stopped in for a beer on my way home from work this afternoon. Waited at the bar for 10 minutes, no staff to be seen. I eventually decided to ring the bell and was met by a disgruntled girl behind the bar, as if i was bothering her by being there. Her customer service was poor and her beer pouring skills even poorer.

I sat outside and noticed her sitting down with locals on her phone for half an hour.
might be a relaxed pub but really?

Stayed there Wed - 8/11/23. Above Typical Hotel, Nice room's and Amenities, Fantastic Meal's, cooked to Your liking.
All Round Fantastic Service, Bar & Bistro. Clean & Tidy. Very Enjoyable Cold Clean Fresh Tasting Beer's.
Convenient for me passing through area.
I would / will definitely stay here again & recommend anyone staying here.
Remember like any hotel, that stairs are a fact. As room's are on first and second floors.

Went there for the apprentice night, $35 for four courses which is definitely good value. Food was reasonably tasty and definitely better than some other pubs around the area. Was a busy and popular night so the first foods did take a while as expected.

We are at Neath hotel for lunch.
Great atmosphere, friendly staff, MASSIVE meals and AMAZING nachos.
I couldn't even eat half, the kids got nuggets and chips which were great and the garlic bread was a generous size as well. We'll definitely be back!!
The kids played in the playground which was easy to see from our table.
Andrew G was playing and he was a great listen.

Incredible value (so much cheaper than almost every other accommodation) - it's no luxury resort but perfect for a short stay if you just need somewhere to sleep. Speaking of, the beds are very comfortable and exceptionally clean despite the building itself being a bit old. There's also a bus stop right outside the door taking you to Cessnock.

My husband, granddaughter and I went to the Neath Hotel for dinner. Never again. My granddaughter said her hamburger was tasteless and the few chips she got were warm. At $22 it was over priced. My husband had the homemade rissoles. He said that they weren't too bad. $20 for 2 rissoles and vegetables. I had the salt and pepper squid which was supposed to be served with seasoned chips and a dressed garden salad. Entree size was $16.50, I opted to upsize it to the main size for an extra $10.00. $26.50 in total. All I got was approximately 10 pieces of squid with a few chips and some what I think was tartare sauce. Not only was I ripped off but it tasted disgusting. The food was only just warm and there was no salt and pepper in the batter on the squid. When I enquired as to whether I had been served the entree or main size, I was told it was the main. I was flabbergasted. He offered me more chips but I didn't take the offer up. While the staff were friendly enough the young girl behind the bar kept disappearing and you had to wait for her to reappear. When she was behind the bar she was constantly on her phone. Not good enough. We definitely will not go back or recommend this place to anyone.

Such a great family friendly place and food was fantastic, was very well priced and the specials were a good size for the price. Will definitely come again and again.
Keep up the good work.

Had their T-Bone special, meat was good however the sauces were a bit flavourless. The surf and turf meat was a bit off near the fats, prawns were like little cocktails (the pics had what appeared to be big king prawns). Prices were reasonable and portions were good so it's not terrible.

Always our go to accommodation when in the area.
Traditional Hotel shared amenities, an adventure for the kids.
Can get cool in winter but rooms have heaters and extra blankets.
Give them a try

Taco night was disappointing. The wait took forever. Presentation was poor- mince floating in fatty water in a chinese container, and flavourless chicken - pork was advertised but no where to be seen. It was served on a board with odd amounts of soft tacos, lettuce, sliced tomatoes & grated cheese. No guacamole or salsa but we got a tiny amount of sour cream. Also not enough for our group so most of our group had one taco only & had to wait almost 40 minutes for another one.

We had the Wings, Rump , chips, and salad and it was amazing. Compliments to the Chef. Everything was absolutely perfect. Nice cold Beer and Cosy wood combustion fire to keep things warm.

Went for lunch, ordered home made rissoles, mashed potato and seasonal veg with gravy. Rissoles had more carrot and large chunks of onion than meat, seasonal veg turned out to be a cup of frozen peas. Also ordered a schnitzel with veg and chips, both schnitzel and chips were over cooked. It's a shame as the cheese and bacon garlic bread was great.

Was not great. Have the food delivered so want expecting amazing since it would have to travel to get here... but food needed to be reheated when it got here and tasted bland or bad. Don't recommend burgers, fries or any meat stuffs from this place... it just tasted bad

The bar staff are polite and greet you with a smile.
The bistro is relatively quick with good food and good portions for the prices.
There are occasional events, I was there for a bingo night, and I had a blast!

Unfortunately, I didn't stay the night, so I can't report on the rooms, but given the overall presentation and vibe of the whole place, I expect it would be a nice place to stay.

Best meal I've had in a lifetime. Wow amazing. This new menu is so good. 5 stars

No absolutely shocking, the owner was rude.
I was travelling with my 14 moth old baby and i was put in to a room next to the bar, i booked this hotel 3 weeks prior.
I asked if i can have different room because my baby wont sleep due to the noise coming from the bar, i was told that we have nothing left, all booked. The owner new that i was coming with a child because it was mentioned in the booking. The owner i spoke to said if you don't like it you can leave and go somewhere else, i said where i'm gonna go with a small child on Saturday night, the answer was that is not my problem how you raise your family, i was speechless I couldn't say anything but just be quiet and go through the night.
Shocking experience, no Aircon in the room no even a chair so we could breastfeed the baby, the carpet had a smell like a toilet.
Staff member seating on top of the table on their lunch brake.
I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Mmm, don't know what the meals are like!! Didn't feel like too much.
No starters, entrees or snacks.
So disappointing you can't even get a bowl of chips when the kitchen is open.except out of the vending machine.
Beer choice is just as limited.
Definitely won't go out of my way to return when there's other pubs in the
area doing better.

If you love the old style you will love this place staff are bloody awesome there the bar is great didn't get to try there food but maybe next time.

Had such a good night with the band playing this pub has the best atmosphere out of any pub for miles, it's so refreshing to see staff smiling and genuinely enjoying them selfs and what they do it shows, this pub is now in good hands, the buffet was so good, the potato salad! To die for. Welcome back Neath Hotel

Had a great night listening to a live band with a bunch of friends. Great atmosphere even if the kitchen was a bit light on the menu, the food was tasty and good serving sizes.

Absolutely disgusting meal, ordered medium rump, mains came out with the entree, Rump was cooked rare. sent it back then came back out chewy. The girls service was good and refunded my meal when we requested but unfortunately we will not go back.

Christmas Party , enjoyed my visit there .

Very disappointing to see the response on facebook after some honest feedback about the lack of communicarion after the closure of the restaurant

Five stars for flair and ambience. Cool bar and spooky details. But be aware that it can get really cold in your room in June - friendly staff will give you a heater that helps (at least for one half of the room :-). We did not have any other of the usual comforts of hotels. Shared bathroom, road noise unfiltered and no breakfast at the hotel. But still, very interesting experience. We might try it again in summer.

Disappointing! Over priced! Poor service! when we attended, seemed like the waitress was reading of a teleprompter! Very awkward. Also to find out No tap beer from a hotel with so much history was sad! Not sure why you would turn a pub with so much history into a restaurant only! Word is locals are very disappointed in what has happened to this establishment! Bright side is at least it's still getting looked after and not in disrepair and will live on

The staff are fantastic, the beds are so comfy omg!! And there is so much history within the place. Great vibe and oh my I could just go on and on

Put this hotel on your see list cause believe me ypu will not be disapionted.
Everything about the hotel is what you want. The food is the best great great great. I wll be going back maybe two times a week

What a shame we have been twice before and enjoyed it unfortunately today the food was allfull .steaks poorly cooked the chips were cheap and tasteless and don't get me started on the basic bit of salad I think that's what is was . The owner didn't speak with us directly but tried to smothe us over with a free drink which consisted of a table spoon of Bailey's..???'

I went to the restaurant and it is absolutely brilliant and the staff are great people also.
Would absolutely recommended you visit

Carlo and his team have blessed The Hunter Valley with one of the most authentic and, dare I say it, "classy" restaurants. Everything here just works, from the ultimate sommelier/host Carlo, to the world-class quality of the food coming out of the kitchen to the decor and ambience and finally, the professionalism of the floor staff. A true gem in the hunter Valley crown. Complimenti Carlo, Bravo.

Fantasic service and wonderfully charismatic staff. Food was lovely and atmosphere was enjoyable.
Will be back.

Driving around looking for a good Sunday lunch...
For the most satisfying Sunday Lunch, you cant go past Carlo's "Cellini's Italian Restaurant" in the old Grand Neath Hotel. I haven't seen such a vast menu selection since i was last in Rome. When you are waiting for your extravagant order, enjoy from the large selection of drinks including local wines, beers and cocktails.. The selection of food on the menu will "blow your mind" do yourself a favour and delve into the many authentic selections....We recommend Carlo's "Cellini's Italian Restaurant".... buon appetito.
