What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Late Lunch

I had a late lunch at The Commy, and it was fantastic! The atmosphere was vibrant, and the menu had a wide selection. I was impressed by the gluten-free options, especially the GF schnitzel, which is hard to come by. The outdoor area was lovely, child-friendly, and reasonably priced. I enjoyed Asian fish and calamari - both were perfectly prepared. I highly recommend making a reservation during busy times.

Clean and Comfortable Rooms

My stay included a room that was clean, tidy, and very comfortable. It came equipped with essential features like a TV, air conditioning, and even a mini fridge! The shared bathroom, which was spotless and spacious, allowed me to have a stress-free experience. I particularly appreciated the kettle and tea/coffee provided in the room.

Impressive Bathroom Cleanliness

One of the highlights of my stay was the cleanliness of the shared bathrooms. They were spacious, equipped with hooks and benches for convenience, and had plenty of space to put my belongings. Hot water with excellent pressure made for a refreshing shower experience. It's great to see attention to detail in these shared facilities!

Great Beer Garden

The beer garden was a wonderful feature of the Commonwealth Hotel. Surrounded by greenery with a garden ceiling of ferns and plants, it was a perfect spot to unwind in the evenings. I also noticed they had board games available, making it an ideal place to gather with friends or family while enjoying a leisurely drink.
