The food was just awful. Nothing comes out with even a tiny bit of lettuce &tomato but a truck load of chips. 
I watched many meals come out and the portion sizes were huge but quality is always better than quantity.
You can order a salad but I would prefer to pay a bit extra, cut back on the 5 buckets chips on the plate and put a tiny salad. You would get return customers. Never again. Wasn’t pleasant at all.

Stopover in lovely city had a sour finish.

Good food, good parking, comfortable bed, which still didn't help a nights sleep. staff excellent, especially Bar and Bistro, but check-in man impatient and uninterested. (Benefit from a clean crisp white shirt.)Room was described as 'Boutique', even basic would have stretched a point. No glasses for a drink of water, ok were bottles of water
No clock, not everyone has technology,
No phone, ditto above. A handset at least  to connect to someone in an emergency.
Windy night, wind howled and screamed all night, windows not sealed properly., 
No privacy, every sound from nearby rooms very clear. Every toilet flush, shower use very audible.
The place is like a 'rabbit warren'. Had to call on housekeeping staff, very sympathetic to the problem, to quote 'happens all the time.
Clear signage to exits/elevator would definitely help. 
I had a close exit which I used once to end up in the garbage area. Lovely man said don't worry 'happens all the time'!
When exiting to car park encountered difficult steps ( I admit to 74, heart condition and broken vertebrae) Was terrified of falling but was relieved to make it safely to my car and leave your property in one piece.
Due to it's age, history and architectural appeal you must have more senior guests wanting to stay. But what a disappointment it must be for them. Accommodation access and lack of basics would be a disappointment I am sure.
My family has spent over 50 years in the Hospitality industry, in Hotels, Motels, Serviced apartments, Restaurants and catering. So I am speaking from a very long history of catering to those looking for - from very basic to high end accommodation.
Your staff are, I think, better than you deserve, except for one male receptionist who was not in least interested in my concerns. I found it very difficult to submit my initial concerns as I was unaware I needed to be a Trip Advisor member. However, hopefully I have been successful this time.
Just as a small aside, I spent the first night of my Honeymoon in your Hotel. When we showered the bedroon flooded and we paddled out. No Understanding was given on that occassion. Had hoped things had improved.
Would not hesitate to attend your Bistro or recommend it to friends. However never ever spend a night. 

Unhappy!

Ordered the schnitzel/chips and salad. Unfortunately their idea of salad is lettuce, just lettuce nothing else. No one wants to eat  lettuce on its own. Why don’t they just advertise for what it is, schnitzel and chips. 

They don’t make friends with salad here

This hotel is part of a rather imposing structure that seems to be all things to all of Orange - function centre, bar, restaurant and a place to stay in the centre of town.

The price was pleasant, the room was obviously from an earlier time that had been spruced up but if you are just looking for a modest place to stay the small room and older feel won't trouble you. Given it has good access to several local eateries this is probably a good place for business travellers.

And it's across the road from Robertson Park which is a pleasant place for a stroll.

Convenient location and price.

Last night I was woken by a man entering my room at  12.15am. I screamed and pushed him out of room. The Reception desk was closed. At 8.00am I spoke with Management who weren’t interested 
I got a refund.
I told them the bathroom facilities were shocking… they shrugged that. DO NOT STAY HERE

Disgusting 

Yes we booked this as a last minute stay on a roadtrip as it was pretty much the only room available in Orange.  Reception area and hotel public areas are very nice. Rooms are obviously in the process of being updated however key areas have been neglected.  Our standard twin was COLD.  Small air-con did NOTHING to heat the large area.  TV aerial was not plugged in so unless I had gone looking to find the problem, would have had no TV.  Beds were hard, lumpy and old - mattress dated 2005.  One thin doona in Orange on a winter night with ineffective heater is NOT enough.  Bathroom OK - tarted up and clean.  Carparking available in public carpark at rear of hotel.  Not secure.  No breakfast available on site however walking distance to any number of local cafes.

Most Uncomfortable Night

The bistro at Hotel Canobolas is simply wonderful! We ordered the rib eye on bone and pizza and it was great. The pizza came out quickly, but the steak took some time, probably due to the size and time required to cook it... 

Restaurant is fantastic! 

When checking in there is no information or warning of a @ 1.5% fee for using a card, we then went to the room. On first appearance the room was nice but then, the room door wouldn’t self close as it was jamming at the top. The milk pods in the fridge were out of date. Had the worst night ever at a hotel with the noise of something that sounded like an industrial clothes dryer droning all night long.
The same not advertised fee was at all areas of the premises. Whilst at dinner the chair I was sitting on collapsed and other then a waiter rushing to get rid of the broken chair it took quite a while for a staff member to see if I was alright, that was only after my wife complained. Luckily I was OK.

Very disappointing 

We stayed at Orange as part of a week-long train visit to Broken Hill.  The staff were fine about leaving the car there (we stayed 2 nights each way) while we were away - the carpark was well-lit, with CCTV and the station 5 minutes walk, with luggage.  Opened in 1939, it's clearly been renovated a number of times and the rooms lacked a few of the usual creature comforts, though once we got settled, it was fine - lift, A/C, TV and wifi all good.   It's very central with food options and the tourist centre nearby, across the War Memorial park.  While breakfast was not on offer, it served a range of eating styles for lunch and dinner.  These are generous and delicious serves and very popular with locals and we learnt it was better to hang back until after 7.30 when the crowd (every night) had dissipated.  There is a large staff and in every area we found them to be friendly and very cooperative.  I'm sure there are jazzier places in Orange (with much better bathrooms) but we grew to love our home away from our Canberra home.  Orange was a great town to visit.

Opened 1939 - a lady with style, and eccentricities

Thursday night....room 238 overlooking the beer garden- OMG.... insane amount of noise that got louder and louder....

Room was ok, fairly basic- two beds...sort of in separate areas. Shower did not have a shower curtain, bathroom very dated/ run down. Tea/coffee facilities in room, tv, fridge and a chair. room was quite dark, even with every light on. 

Ask for an outside room not facing the beer court!
