    Our room was tidy and atmospheric and provided with a heater, 3 shower cubicles and a communal bathroom. The location was marvellous, a 10-15 minute walking distance from Mount Gambier Rsl War Museum. A supermarket and a grocery shop were right next door...

    Staff were incredibly nice, room was neat and quiet with toilet facilities. The hotel's location was amazing, not far from town shops and grocery shops, a museum and the nature of rooms and history in advance.

    Nothing negative to say.

    This hip new hotel offers a huge variety of charming little and reasonably large rooms. The location of the property is stunning and fantastic, facing inner courtyard. There's Bay Blue Espresso Bar at a moderate distance from the hotel, they have tea/coffee/desserts.

    I loved staying at the Old Gaol! The hosts, James & Mel, were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Sleeping in a cell was a unique experience and the place felt cleansed and well-maintained. The shared kitchen and bathroom were clean and had everything I needed, like a home away from home. I also enjoyed exploring the whole gaol and learning about its fascinating history. The exercise yard with the basketball ring was a hit with the kids. it was a memorable stay and a great option for budget travelers.

    Felt like home, no reason to complain.
