Enjoyed a stunning meal in this beautiful art deco hotel. The dining room is lovely and transports you back to another time. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was gorgeous. Highly recommend.

We stayed in the Chancellor Suite. It was very nice, spacious and nicely appointed. The only drawback is the parking, especially if you stay during the weekdays. The overflow parking is a 3 hour only car park. Our bed was super comfortable and we had such a great night sleep!

We ate at the Beer Garden and the food was very good with really large portions. The staff was super helpful and friendly! The Beer Garden had a cool vibe on a Sunday night.

Today just had morning tea - very comfortable chairs, cool & relaxing.
Have eaten there on various occasions - service is good, food usually good value. Feel some wines are rather over-priced - particularly if you are able to buy same or similar at a lower price at other alcohol outlets. JANEB

We had a marvellous dinner here. Duck terrine was the best that I've ever had. Salmon starter, lamb rump, and confit duck leg were all 5 star. Lovely dining room. Excellent staff. Very good wine list.

Disappointing Dining Experience in Armidale

Rating: ?? (2/5)

My recent visit to a restaurant in Armidale left me deeply disappointed. It's regrettable to say that this dining experience fell far short of my expectations.

The food served was quite underwhelming and certainly overpriced for what was offered. The menu lacked variety and the taste didn't match the cost. I had higher hopes for the culinary experience in Armidale.

While the ambiance and setting were reasonably pleasant, it couldn't make up for the shortcomings in the food department. The decor and atmosphere, while decent, couldn't mask the overall dissatisfaction with the meal.

The only silver lining was the service. The staff were attentive and polite, which was a saving grace in an otherwise lackluster dining experience.

In summary, my dining experience in Armidale was far from memorable. The overpriced and underwhelming food overshadowed any positives the restaurant had to offer. I'd recommend looking elsewhere for a more satisfying dining experience in the area.

Doesn't get closer to the centre of town, got to be the best location for my business trip.

Rooms are fantastic, some careful thought went into the room fitout and the hitel in general. Everything works and is in fantastic condition, its clear to see the operations manager looks after the building.

Staff were great, very knowledgeable, and helpful.

Had dinner in the restaurant in the hotel, again, fantastic service staff and a very good meal.

Passing through Armidale on our NSW road trip, completed the self guided walk of the historic buildings around town and found tattersalls hotel along the way......lunch was fantastic, the flavours amazing, service was excellent.....would highly recommend ??'??

45 minutes wait for food ?
Something has gone terribly wrong with this restaurant. I used to always eat here and the food was good . Things have changed the food is disgusting tasteless and bad smelled
I had a steak that was full of fat it was over cooked and dry. my kid vomited after eating pasta.

Stayed overnight in very clean rooms. Quite spacious and the decro was elegantly done. Superb service from the arvo pretty boy receptionist and management, had a mix up with our rooms on our end and fixed it up in a jiffy. Continental breakfast was on point (no meat tho) but for $17pp can get you a big breakfast. The kitchen staff was awesome, a great place to stay in the heart of town.

Wonderful 20s art-deco theme. Lovely rooms and the restaurant is top class.

We didn't stay in the hotel, but had a beautiful dinner. We shared a few entrees, mains and desserts so we could all try a few things (family of 4 - 2 adults, 2 kids) and everything was amazing. Oysters kilpatrick, Japanese scallops, beef and slaw special, confit duck, cheesecake, crème brulee, lemon tart.... All lovely. Looks fancy, but fairly laid back and kids welcome (ours are 9 & 11). All the staff were fabulous especially the young gentleman with the beard (sorry, I didn't get his name). We will come again next time we are in Armidale.
Thank you!

Ate in the beer garden. The 4 cheese pizza from the pizza oven was super tasty!!
Staff were lovely. Kids got pizza and fish and chips with ice cream included so they were happy. On a cool night the overhead heaters worked a great.

What a lovely evening we had.
Walked in off the street.
The team were extremely accommodating, even though they had multiple private functions on.
Food was five star and would recommend if staying in armidale.
Extremely reasonable prices as well.
Thanks

We were very happy staying at the Tattersalls Hotel. It is a beautifully refurbished art deco hotel in the heart of Armidale.
The staff were so understanding when we had to postpone our trip due to illness, even during the busy Easter period.
The room was lovely and the bed was so comfortable I found the label and took a photo of it for our next bed purchase. As soon as I slipped into the lush robe in the cupboard I immediately rang reception to order one to pick up when we checked out.
We had dinner that night in the restaurant and everything was absolutely delicious with fabulous wait staff. Even though it was very busy, our meals were on the table very quickly.
Thank you to all staff and we will certainly be making the Tattersalls our hotel of choice when we next travel through Armidale

As we stayed on a Monday evening, the restaurant and bar were closed and the general area extremely quiet. Room was well appointed, clean and comfortable. Breakfast could have had a better selection of options.

The wait staff were lovely, they just need to be taught properly,for example you don't ask someone who's having the fish and who's having the pork, they should know that by the way the docket is written when they take the order. Three or four chefs in the kitchen,and they can't make "CRISPY BATTER" for the very small serve of BARRAMUNDI,ENTREE SIZE, MASQUERADING as a main,$42. When food businesses are going under, don't put less on the plate put more, because if you don't,you will most certainly go under, NICE DECOR,but you can't eat it. There,probably waiting for someone to purchase the place,so don't really care.Old fashion desserts on menu overpriced.The chefs don't care there getting paid,got to go, so frustrating , by. PS ?? ENTER AT OWN RISK.

The hotel and restaurant are a credit to the owners and staff. Room was thoughtfully and tastefully designed, the food in the restaurant top notch. Lovely art deco renovation, really an outstanding place. Would definitely highly recommend!

Came here for dinner only

Restaurants Atmosphere, decor and setting are great. Which is why I booked here for a special birthday treat.
However $240 odd for 2 people for a shared entree, 2 mains, 2 cocktails and a bottle of red is steep.
Food was ok nothing exceptional to rave about. Service and staff were good, professional and friendly.

However did not appreciate at 9.30 having the bill just placed on the table as a hint to "move out".

Not on!!

Then proceed to setup morning buffet paraphernalia near us. For next morning.

We had a beautiful dinner, the steaks were sublime the service was friendly and attentive. Gold class.

Note this review is for the restaurant only, which is lovely. Huge portions, perhaps too big, fresh seafoos, well cooked steak ans friendly service. The restaurant is beautifully decorated in period art deco style and a great place for a fancy meal.

The staff in the ladies lounge are tremendous.
They provided exceptional service even for just coffees and a babychino.

Friendliness and attention to detail is exceptional.

The decor is very comforting and relaxing especially by the fireplace.

Just wonderful .... !!

Check it out...

We had a wonderful stay and would recommend it to our friends - the bed is comfortable and the decent room side. The dinner at the hotel is fantastic and of great value (my husband is an amazing chef. We hold high bars for food).

The only two small things are 1) the aircon in our room is very noisy, so we had to turn it off. The blankets are warm enough, but it might be a struggle in summer. 2) The service of the staff in the restaurant can be improved - friendly staff but might need a bit more training. For example, no spoon came with my seafood soup until I asked; when we ordered desserts to share, I clearly asked for sharing plates but still didn't receive it when the dessert came. However, they were happy to help when I asked for it - I just had to keep asking. It didn't bother us at all since the food was incredible. If we are dining at a three-hat restaurant, I might expect a different service, but in our case, it didn't impact our fantastic experience. I would still recommend the restaurant and

This is a loverly looking pub/restaurant and I recommend you go there for Drinks. The food there is very hit and miss especially the expensive Steaks. This will be a rant about why their food is not good *for the price*. Firstly the Angus steak was very perfectly cooked. No problems. But what a tough sinewy cut. When I pay for a good steak I want the Chef to reject poor bits of meat. I mentioned this to the (excellent) staff and was told he had heard this from other diners over there recent few months. This is unacceptable. We wont be eating at this restaurant again. It was embarrassing for my 'special' thank you night where we where thanking my family for recent help. On a previous visit, 5 months ago, my guest ordered the top of the range steaks and sent them back. My family have been in the Armidale beef industry a long time and know our steak cuts.

I would definitely recommend this hotel. Probably the best one in town!
Liked · The location is absolutely fantastic, you cannot be more central. The bar is great and overlooks the Mall. The hotel has been refurbished not long ago to it's original art-deco, it's absolutely stunning. The staff are amazing and well informed about the area and will give you the right information on what to do and where to go also the restaurant is next level for such a small town. Overall I would say that the hotel exceeded all my expectations and it's probably the best hotel in town.
Disliked · Things to note: even if the rooms have been refurbished not long ago the windows are only single glazed and you cannot open them and their is no proper black-out, light from the corridor is visible all around the door so if you are sensitive to the light be ready and bring a sleeping mask. Also the walls are reasonably thin so bring your earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

Really great meal. Beautiful art deco building. Just the right balance of relaxed and classy. Only fault was that the rice in the paella was tough (undercooked) the chef said that it was supposed to be that way but I wasn't really convinced.

Nice, clean and modern but just a bit too small for a couple. Parking is very confusing as front of the hotel is on the walking street of the mall, the parking is actually on the back of the hotel but on different street. if you are lucky to find car park, then walk through the small side lane to enter to the tiny & cozy reception to get the key. Rest are fine.

Beautifully restored hotel right in the middle of town. My room was amazing, it was spacious and the bathroom was awesome. Parking for the hotel is limited, however, they do have overflow access nearby. I'd highly recommend this hotel because once you've parked the car you won't need it again until you leave or head out for the day.

Really good customer service, excellent food quality with a menu that could cater for every flavour palette. A bit on the pricier side of things however the venue and staff are well worth the premium. The decor will truly get you in the mood for some fine dining that's for sure.

Beautiful hotel. A real experience. I love the laneway leading to the hotel entrance - feels like in the middle of Europe. Everything exquisitely restored. The only tiny drawback is that the windows are frosted and you can't open them, but apart from that, the most wonderful Australian country town hotel you can imagine. I love staying there every time.

The restaurant is great as well. Five star gourmet fine dining. We loved the cauliflower soup and the mussels most.

A beautifully restored and renovated hotel. Our room was very comfortable and clean. The cleanliness of the whole hotel was excellent.
I recommend dining at the
restaurant downstairs, the food was great (we had steak) and the service was fantastic.
