Beautiful historic pub close to food and attractions
Pros:

This is the second time I have stayed at the Glenferrie Hotel. It is a beautifully maintained old pub with a lot of charm. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room is large and spacious, the bed comfortable. I loved the sweet touch of Tim Tams on the pillows. The Hotel is a close walk to shops and restaurants and has a lovely cafe next door for breakfast. The hotel is close to public transport with the Glenferrie train station a short walk away.

Cons:

Not a criticism but be aware the rooms are accessed by stairs- there is no lift.

For me it was perfect. I would stay again.
Pros:

Very good value for money. Very clean and an ideal location for what I wanted.

Cons:

The hotel food was standard.
The stairs would be difficult for some people with luggage. They would also struggle with the shower over the spa bath.

Friendly, comfortable hotel close to transport and shops
Pros:

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, the room was a great size, bed was comfortable, everything was very clean. I loved the little extra touch of a TIm Tam on the pillow :). The Glenferrie is in an excellent location, very close to the train station and lots of shopping and food options within a short walking distance.

Good fun stay
Pros:

Loved the old character of the property. Felt like a good old school hotel. Filled with character from the fittings to the structure of the building.

Cons:

Was a bit on the noisy side but that comes from the age of the property and it being a hotel. Didn't impact on being able to rest and sleep well.
