Tanswells Commercial Hote

While the bar is beautiful, the food good but pricey the service lacked during early dinner service. The room was half full and I was never approached for ordering a drink or being assisted in any way. I finally caught a male staff members eye who seemed initially inconvenienced by coming to my single table in a corner out of direct eyeline. I do credit he was quick with my drink and pleasant on delivery. However, the room "host" did not come near me once, even when she served drinks and bread to the table I faced.
Bar staff were great! Be mindful, it is a wonderful local pub and gets loud til close. Be especially aware that the pub does do private functions upstairs near the guest rooms in a beautiful room with balcony, however the rooms are clearly seperated It also holds community events including Oktoberfest and the Celtic Festival so parking can be difficult if the rear area is being used for such events.
The bathrooms are lovely and very clean however the hot water is limited and tepid showers with only the hot water on is not fun! Bring toiletries as none are provided. Towel and foot mat only.
My room was clean and comfortable with a bed, side table. sink and small half table with a stool. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding provided great.
A one night stop worked fine but I would not stay longer.

Ok room for a night/transit. Rundown old fashioned room that could use a lick of paint. Shared bathrooms were dirty. You get what you pay for.

Probably stay again

I stayed for one night. Was warned that it would be noisy with music and bar guests. It was perfect for me.
Right in the heart of Beechworth. Morning walk was amazing. Everyone one friendly and accommodating.
Shared bathrooms which I didn’t mind at all and was clean.

Old world charm 👍

Everything was close by
Rooms could be upgraded

Great location and good value for money

a comfortable stay in an old hotel with shared bathroom facilities

This property is very noise to the point I couldn't sleep. I don't think I will come back to stay in the hotel. Room and toilets are okay. Food was good. Staffs are very helpful and polite.

This is a beautiful classic old hotel. Very helpful staff and good meals. The twin room was clean, but very basic, no tv and a shared bathroom with good showers.

Great location and you get what you pay for. It’s cheap & cheerful but with live music on all 3 nights, it was challenging.

What a fantastic place to stay in Beechworth!! A lovely old hotel with very friendly and helpful staff, this place was incredible value. I only stayed one night but will definitely stay here again next time I visit Beechworth. The room was small but comfortable and it's very quiet despite being upstairs at a big pub. The bathrooms are outside the rooms and very clean. Highly recommend!

this hotel should not be listed in the Wangarratta area.
It is old-fashioned and quant, and nothing else.
Shared bathroom is the 19th century.
No TV or Internet facility anywhere.

Unlike many motels, this old hotel offers charm and quirkiness.

No fan or air conditioner, room was very warm all night.
Separate bathroom was very modern & very clean.

A vibe

I have been staying at the commercial hotel since mid 90s

However during my last visit I was confronted by a very angry person cleaning the carpark who was very aggressive and angry

I had to leave as I felt unsafe

I immediately rang the hotel that same evening to report this issue but they said unfortunately nothing to do with us since the car park is shared with the next door Beechworth brewery


This is not the right approach as they sounded totally uninterested in finding out that one of their paying guests had been harassed

At least I would of expected them to follow up with the brewery next door

Won’t be staying again

Room and property was super cute. Sheets were not changed. I could see stains on them. If you stay in the first couple of rooms they’re located right next to the staircase coming up from bar area and are loud and smelly when they smoke down there. Bathrooms were ok considering they’re shared. I didn’t see any security cameras on the hallway where the rooms are but didn’t experience any safety issue over 1 night staying there.

Cold showers no pressure, intermittent internet

Great food, lovely looking venue, and staff were mostly very pleasant, but it was clear that they simply didn't have sufficient (or trained) staff to run the hotel; for example, there never seemed to be any staff specifically assigned to the dining room, and we had to actually seek staff from the adjacent bar to get service during dinner. The shared bathrooms (some of which were not in full working order) were left for at least 1-2 days without being tidied or having loo paper refilled. And when we checked out, the staff member who was drifting around seemed confused as to why we felt we needed to hand our key to anyone. We probably won't stay here again on our next visit.
