Hotel O'Dowds Hotel/Motel Rockhampton

100 William Street, 4700 Rockhampton, Australia –

Rocky is not a big town, O'Dowds is close to everything anyone would need it's a backpacker hotel with share and private rooms Inc fridge and TV and there's a pub downstairs. Staff were very nice and friendly and worked hard and seemed to like being there!

Mark, Australia

We had made a mistake with our booking and put ourselves into a shared bathroom unit. The staff took one look at us (we are old), took pity and bumped us up into an ensuite room. We didn't ask for that, and they didn't have to do it, but that is an example of the type of quality service one experiences mostly in Japan and sometimes in Australia. Very well done. The pub was great and the food was even better.

David, Australia

Everyone was very nice, the food was excellent and it was quiet during the night.

Kimlouise06, Australia

The great staff on the night they were cheerful and friendly and the buffalo wings are the bomb.

Di, Australia

The room served it's purpose to simply stop in and rest for the night. The food was very good and atmosphere though it's not my scene was alive and exciting. The Staff we're all very lovely and welcoming. The bathroom was acceptable.

Jarred, Australia

The staff were very friendly and helpful,they could not do enough to help us. The management were also very helpful,we would stay there again and would recommend it our friends

John, Australia

The room was clean, the staff were friendly, and the location perfect for our needs. However, I would have expected to be contacted if the room we booked was no longer available after booking and I really wasn’t impressed being told this after our arrival because it shouldn’t have happened. I do understand about the long term resident and wanting to accommodate them, but I don’t expect a booking made months ago to no longer be available upon arrival - some sort of notification should have been given. They did do their best to try to accommodate with the options they had available

Renee, Australia

The staff were great and very friendly.All the facilities were great. The meals were as good as I expected. I will be back.

Patrick, Australia

The staff was so nice and helpful. Loved the pub.

Susan, Denmark

The fact that it was attached to an Irish pub was a bonus. Room was clean and old but reasonably priced. Ate at the pub which was great.

The units are a bit old and could do with a makeover but, I don't care about that. It was clean, and I had my eyes shut for most of the time anyway.

“Pub stay 😬”

I stayed 3 nights, I booked online a single room with what I thought had a bathroom of its own. And it said had its own balcony. I got none of this, what I got was a bunk room small just fitted two lots of bunks. No windows a door that opened up in front of the shared kitchen. And a bar fridge and kettle probably the best part of room. One towle for whole stay, keeps price low for room according to the notes on the wall. It smelled yuk. I'm cliatropvobic and this room has to be the worst I've ever stayed in! I wouldn't want to spend more than $10 a night for this. The pub was way to cold, I went down to complain about my room but it was freezing and they were serving drinks so couldn't wait around because of the cold. Spent time outside on the roadside because it was warmer than inside. They don't cater for gluten free meals unless you want a salad. The shared bathroom was grotty and falling apart. The taps were very hard to turn on and off so that they wouldn't keep running water. I couldn't turn on the hot taps at all. I will not recommended it as a pub nor a place to stay unless your drunk and need a bed for the night.
I hated this place from the second I walked in the door! The girl serving drinks must have been new, she didn't know where the keys were for the rooms. She didn't know about the food. She did go and ask for me which I appreciated thankyou to her. When I was shown briefly where the bathroom was and my room I was very disappointed. I had to ring the owner as I was leaving to ask where to leave the key for the room. As being a Sunday pub was locked up. The bar is dead early did not seem like a place people go to much. But it is handy to other pubs and nightlife, So that was handy. I'm told this pub used to be great but it looks grubby now and nothing like it used to be like. Shame it has great potential to be a great place just seems to be let go and poor management in my eyes.

“Take on board constructive reviews and please replace those beds. At least the frames.”

- • Stayed 1 night

The beds we're terrible! One of the 2 beds was quite uncomfortable to lay on while the other was a fraction better. The better of the 2 beds had the squeakiest frame in existence! I do hope in future renovations these beds are replaced with comfort over budget in mind. *Review based on room 2 upstairs.
The room served it's purpose to simply stop in and rest for the night. The food was very good and atmosphere though it's not my scene was alive and exciting. The Staff we're all very lovely and welcoming. The bathroom was acceptable.

I don’t normally give poor reviews, however we booked this months ago and specifically because of the location but also because they had a disabled room. Upon arrival, they tell us that since the booking a permanent resident has moved back into the disabled room, therefore it was no longer available. Not very happy as I should have been notified so I could have sought alternative accommodation. The staff, even being told the disabled access room was no longer available, where however trying their best to fix the problem. They did put us in an alternative room that was manageable, and even provided us with a shower chair. Athen also did offered to find us something else in another motel. But, we picked this spot particularly because of the location. Luckily, they did have one ground floor room that they could move us into, and as I mentioned it was manageable, however if it were for someone else that wasn’t able to manage without a specific disabled accessible bathroom, they would have have been other problems
The room was clean, the staff were friendly, and the location perfect for our needs. However, I would have expected to be contacted if the room we booked was no longer available after booking and I really wasn’t impressed being told this after our arrival because it shouldn’t have happened.

Staff treated the place like a night club, at 1am the music was still unbelievably loud. When i complained they just argued with me saying they are licensed till 2am. The staff were clearly drinking and were more staff than customers drinking and partying at that point.
