Cons:

I believe it is used as a hostel, as signs stated ‘tenants must pay weekly rent on time or be evicted’

One star review do not recommend unless you like to give hotel owners money for nothing.
Pros:

I arrived to find the Hotel closed. Finally found someone who said he would cancel my booking. I was not reimbursed.

Cons:

They could have refunded my payment, as I didn't get to stay the night.

Disorganised
Pros:

The room was clean and had fresh linen.

Cons:

On arrival, the venue stated they were closed, yet they accepted online booking. When staff arrived, he had no idea what was happening and allocated me a room that was already taken. A gentleman had a key to my room also.

Don't go there
Pros:

We love to stay in old pubs for the experience and being able to connect with Australian culture but there was nothing to like about this place no restaurant as listed and the bar had closed by 8pm when we got back from getting a meal elsewhere so no chatting to the locals

Cons:

The room smelt so bad the bedding was manky and smelt bad. The cockroaches were running across the floor. The trip out to the bathroom outside on the back balcony made me feel unsafe as anyone had access to the building at the back. We know this as the front was locked up when we got back at 8 and no way to get in so we went round the back and walked straight in and climbed the stairs. No jug or cups to have a drink. We left as soon as we could.

Could not wait to leave in the morning to get away from the noise of the roadworks out the front.
Pros:

There was nothing to like. No reception desk. The Hotel was not open. A total mess.

Cons:

Washing hanging over balconies. No heating in room. No television in room. It was freezing cold. No extra blankets. The Bar or Restaurant were not open. There was no warning that it was not open.

Over view of stay at Railway hotel Gympie
Pros:

The hotel itsself

Cons:

No tea or coffee facilities provided
I have stayed at other venues and paid less and there has always been tea and coffee plus biscuits provided
I think your guests need to be treated better. Your bathroom facilities are in adequate
Staff and other guests were nice
