I stayed in a standard queen room (one queen, one single) overnight only. The building doesn't have a lift and I was very grateful for the assistance of the check-in staff who carried my heavy case upstairs for me. Size-wise my room was very cosy: the single bed made the room seem overcrowded and the bathroom was tiny. The bathroom... More

We stayed three nights to access the Huter Valley wineries. Our soom was spacious and clean. We had dinner in the motel restaurant on two nights and found the food to be of outstanding quality with food and service. The old world charm is being restored with more modern amenities. The staff were only to pleased to help in making... More

We stayed at the Monte Pio for a couple of nights in January 2011. The hotel is under new management and so an upgrade is imminent. Unfortunately it hadn't quite happened when we were there and the pool needed a good clean and the decor needs a serious upgrade. However this place has great potential. The rooms are a good... More

Did the spa room package with dinner breakfast and spa suite with champaigne and chocolates on arrival. Was a nice experience and nice to spoil my lady on her birthday without breaking the budget. If you're looking for somewhere modern, its not the place for you. It's also a long way from the wineries if that is what you are... More

Stayed for 5 days at the hotel after scoring a great deal on Wotif. Hotel doesn't have an elevator so our room on the top floor was a bit of a hike with luggage. Room was lovely, although we didn't have a telephone and tthe toilet seat was very loose, (these were both remedied as soon as we commented). Laundry... More

We recently stayed here and found a warm welcome and a comfortable place to stay for the night.The Grand old Lady that sits on the Hill at Maitland is indeed in need of moderrnisation, She is looking is Looking very 1980! at the moment, But the Grand old Building is siting there waiting for her next re-incarnation. The Staff were... More

Very welcoming, friendly accommodation. Although the rooms are old fashioned, the restaurant, bar and pool more than make up for it. Service was fantastic, will definitley be staying there again next year. More

I stayed at the Monte Pio recently with business colleagues, as part of cost cutting measures preventing us from staying at more opulent lodgings in the Hunter Valley. This was my first stay here, the staff were friendly and the room was comfortable, but the room decor was very "80s dated". The hotel was not busy during our stay but... More
