“Awsome...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

Have read some of the recent reviews and was really surprised. We had an absolutely awsome couple of days at The Port Lincoln hotel. We found the staff brilliant & found their advice of what to do in Port Lincoln great - particually Troy...thankyou SO much for recommending the seafood platter at Delacolline Winery...best meal EVER....we nearly missed our plane we were enjoying the platter plus too much wine :) so much.
The Ocean view spa suite was amazing & Sarin's was great. Oh yeah...and how comfy are the beds!!!!!Couldn't fault our stay & we will be back :)...thankyou!!!!

Thank you Candece for your review and comments regarding your recent stay with us here at the Port Lincoln Hotel. We are delighted you had such an enjoyable trip to the Eyre Peninsula.

We all remember you enjoying the seafood tasting platter both in Sarin's and then at Delacolline Estate Wines, so thank you for sharing your feedback. So glad you liked the 'cloud topper' in our deluxe suite. These are in all rooms for everyone to enjoy a good night sleep!

We are always striving to improve our service where required, but greatly appreciate the positive feedback you have provided so we can pass it on to our staff.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the Port Lincoln Hotel again soon,
Best wishes,
The team at the Port Lincoln Hotel

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

Well where do I start, if you like waiting for your breakfast for 30 min and ask three times for two eggs yeah definitely your place to stay. The staff there is inexperienced very young and always seems like they do not want to be there well I don't blame them. Its the biggest hotel in Port Lincoln there fore everyone thinks it has to be the best well I guess its not I m quiet sure there is much better places to stay around the area. Had few other problems such as ordering a coffee which took 20 min it was a flat white still came out cold and half filled with milk foam. Food menu was pretty average thought it was sea food restaurant but in saying that the sea food platter for two was very nice. This takes me to say little bit more about the pub downstairs good lay up, service once again average, and management pretty poor, with one of my friends being cut of form drinking fair enough good call, responsible service was the but I think they need a refresher on that course since the manager cut off the whole table even few girls which weren't even drinking at the time and then the manager refused to serve anyone food in the restaurant, I don't thinks that is responsible service at all.

Overall Port Lincoln very nice place a lot to offer with their sight seeing as well as some of the amazing beaches. I would not recommend this hotel to any of my friends.

Dear Simon,

Thank you for taking the time to write your review regarding your latest visit to Port Lincoln, staying with friends here at the Port Lincoln Hotel. We always strive to improve our service and will use some of your comments to do this for future guests.

We were disappointed not to have received your feedback on check out. We always provide guests the opportunity to do this, so we can investigate and correct any issues immediately.

After receiving your feedback, we have provided more training to the "inexperienced" and "young" staff who were working during the breakfast period. We apologise for the experience you had, but glad you enjoyed our signature dish of the seafood platter.

The duty manager working during your stay conducted herself in a professional manner, in line with our in-house policy and Liquor Licencing laws. We did provide food to your group, despite being outside the kitchen opening hours. We practice responsible service of alcohol across the entire hotel and strive to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for all hotel guests at all times according to these laws.

Thank you for your comments, we do hope you return to the Eyre Peninsula in the future.
Best wishes,

“Nice place in town”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

Nice place to stay in Port Lincoln, probably one of the best in town. Nice rooms, beautiful views and a comfy bed. The staff are lovely and always ready to help. Bar was nice and chilled, was also open late. If you are young or a real go getter there is a small night club next door (adjoining) which is also a bit of fun. Walking distance from other places to eat and shops.

Room Tip: Everyone loves a room with a view

“Great for a long weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

We stayed in an ocean view room which was very nice. Lovely view of the bay and almost in the water. It is well located to everything, walking distance for the shops and a stroll along the foreshore. We had just stayed in the Hilton in Adelaide in an executive room and thought that the Port Lincoln Hotel was nicer.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was a bit poor to start with - no eggs, ordered a tea and it didn't come and dirty plates everywhere but once I pointed these things out - the staff very quickly and cheerfully addressed the problems. I was very happy with the service and the breakfast.
We would happily stay there again.

“3.5 Stars, it was better than Average but not Very Good”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

The staff ranged from ok to very good.
The rooms were clean, well appointed and maintained.
The public areas were well maintained and clean.
The bars and eateries were well serviced. The menu was very limited but the serves were plentiful. We did have a problem with one course that was empasised to the staff when ordered, but still came back wrong and late.
Some of the scores may appear low, as there is a huge gap between average and very good. There needs to be another rating of "good".

Room Tip: If you don't stay in a room with a view of Boston Bay, then don't bother staying here.
