The Hotel Canobolas

The foods and atmosphere here can be explained as "heaven on earth". My friend and I were here as we were on a holiday in Bathurst, but I just wanted to have a look at the Orange area and see how things are here. It was nearly dinner time, and we were hungry for some steak, so we thought that we may stop here and try the steak as we saw a few people sitting and eating outside of the hotel. We were so surprised 😮 as how beautiful the indoor of the restaurant was. It's luxury, nice and clean, the service was good with friendly customer service and quick in getting the foods ready for our table. In addition, the foods were amazingly delicious, my favourite is the smooth and creamy mashed potatoes which I have never tasted something like that before. We will definitely come back to have dinner/lunch here the next time we're in the area. Thank you 😊

Fantastic food. They coped really well with a busy Friday night crowd. Lovely historic art Deco pub in the middle of town. Rooms were a little tired but great value for money with unexpected ensuite for a pub hotel.

Disappointed with our choice of hotel for our overnight stay in orange. The hotel accommodation is very basic and the bathrooms well below par. For the price we expected a much higher standard of room. The bedroom was located at the end of a long dark corridor with old carpet and poorly painted walls,, basic with a double bed (linen was clean) and it was quite small with a bar fridge in the corner. The carpet throughout was old and in need of replacement. The floor we were on smelt (ancient cigarette smoke) and clearly had a number of unused rooms. The bathroom had peeling paint (from damp I suspect) the basin was ancient with a large crack and the shower had cracked tiles and no shower curtain. towels were thin and old. To top it off there was banging doors all night with the window in the bedroom and bathroom rattling along with each slammed door. Overpriced and well below the standard we would expect in a town like Orange! Definitely won't be staying again.

If you get lucky enough to be served by Paris she will make sure your drinks are spot on, and take great care of your table - especially if you bring children along! Cannot fault the service, she genuinely took an interest in our booking and making sure we had a great time. Can't wait to go back again

Our room was at the end of the longest corridor we have ever encountered and along a cheap and badly laid carpet ,I suspect that most of the rooms are unliveable judging by the cheap and tacky renos on view.|Our room was so small ,Im glad we didnt bring a cat to swing ,it would have it every wall.|The decore ? is laughable ,battleship grey ceiling ,one wall very dark blue ,one white and everything else painted gloss black ,even the heater ,water pressure was non existent and the highlight? it was new years eve and we came back to the room just after 12 to find that the carpark spotlight was shining straight at our one and only window , not sort of not dimly but a SPOTLIGHT people and it stayed on all night ,OK new years eve and all that but we knew it was new years eve ,why didnt they know and put us in another room ? the hotel was virtually empty ,my theory is that they only have a couple of rooms that are habitable but I cant wait to hear the gushing reply from the owners.|Please ,please people ,be warned , do get seduced by the price ,there are plenty of other options and never never go near this place ,did I say never ?|Beautiful building but in the wrong hands ,stay away and leave them to their fantasy.

Had dinner and a few drinks. Salmon portion ok but came with an only a couple of snap peas. Left very hungry. Daughter had chicken party which was a good size. Friendly staff and a nice old pub.

We had 3 entrees between us & all 3 were great. We were served by Seb & he was very professional & friendly. Happy to explain how they make the bread. The bar staff were very friendly also. Overall a great dining experience.

Our rooms where very clean and you smell the freshness as soon as you opened the door. Our room was just what we needed for 4-5people. Has dining options down stairs and it was very busy and can get a little noisy whilst dining. We were really impressed with this place very central to everything. Coming back again next year.👍

We didn't stay here, but visited for our evening meal. I ordered the half rotisserie chicken meal. They were kind enough to give me the two veggie options for sides rather than chips or mash as one. My husband ordered the porchetta meal. They were fine, but we weren't blown away by the flavors. The salads tasted like they had no dressing on it, the rotisserie veggies had two small pieces of cauliflower (which were delicious) and the mini potatoes. The chicken was good and plentiful, but not a wow dish. The porchetta was fatty, but it was made with pork belly, so that's to be expected. Still, the flavor wasn't over the top delicious. Everyone was nice and the ambiance in the restaurant section was less loud than the bar area.

Nice busy bistro. No wonder when you taste the meals. Eye filet Mignon was excellent, cooked to medium. I wouldn't be able cook myself that well (that's an option too). If I had another day in Orange I would try the wood fire pizza.

Got a steak which was clearly undersized and returned it, got my second steak after waiting a long time and it was well done when I asked for medium rare, fair enough it happens when I returned it again the management refused to admit it was over cooked and was very rude, overall my food was shit and the service was worse. For the price you pay here you expect more

Great bistro here. Kids servings generous. My Woodfired peking duck pizza was the best pizza ive had. Definetly recommend. Venue is very well presented and clean. As far as pub/hotel meals and bistros go this is at the top of my list... with kids or with friends.

I have been here many times as I like to give a place the benefit of the doubt i've never had worse service or meals in my life then from this place
