What Magnus Schaefer doesn't like about The Historian Hotel:
Came here for afterwork drinks. The interior decor and atmosphere reminds me of an old fashioned pub. Honestly it wasn't the most comfortable setup. There were a lot of poles and pillars and whatnot in the way so it was a bit difficult to find a good spot to stand and chat as a group. My colleague highly recommends their pie floater, so maybe next time I visit I'll give their food menu a go. View all feedback. What Emily Pirie likes about The Historian Hotel:
We used the function room upstairs for a lunch celebration after a registry wedding and it was perfect! Staff were friendly and helpful and the upstairs space is an amazing venue for a private function. I would recommend working out your food options beforehand as a couple of the meals were on the dry side. View all feedback.
