Reviews - O'Connell Hotel
Reviews summary
The O'Connell Hotel offers a mix of experiences, from delightful meals enjoyed by a warm fire in winter to gathering with friends in a lively atmosphere during the summer. While some patrons were pleased with the reasonable prices and generous portions, others felt the management let the historic venue fall into disrepair. One unfortunate visitor even reported encountering dirty facilities and unprofessional behavior from staff. However, for those seeking a charming pub meal in a picturesque setting off the beaten track, the newly renovated O'Connell Hotel may still hold its appeal with quality food, quick service, and ample outdoor seating.
Was Phil N at O'Connell Hotel a mag?
Enjoyed a family dinner at the O 'Connell Hotel when in Bathurst recently. We did have a seperate room to all sit together inn in this Covid Era. Meals were adequate but only fair quality pub food . I can believe the place would be great for weekend lunches sitting outdoors as the locals told us. The location just out of Bathurst is also great. View all feedback.
What Kym M dislikes about O'Connell Hotel:
NOT RECOMMENDED. Recently I stopped and had a meal at this establishment. I was with 2 other colleagues and we were scouting for stops for their upcoming motorcycle tours. When we ordered our meals we were not told how long they would take to prepare. We assumed that it would be a reasonable amount of time. After an hour I asked a young male server how much longer we would have to wait and his reply was ‘I don’ know’... View all feedback.

Lovely hotel. We were there on a Saturday afternoon and the place was packed. Once we ordered lunch for a large group the service was fast and furious and was impressed that basically everyone 's lunch turned up within a few minutes so we got to eat together. The salads, burgers, fish and chips all went down a treat and the only and this is a personal opinion that didn 't was the pizza was not much fun. It was more a 'melt ' with too much sauce and cheese and difficult to eat made worse by only having a single sheet of paper serviette to clean up with. For the record that was the only thing I faulted and why I couldn 't give five stars....I give you 4.75 stars. Go visit you won 't be sorry Noteworthy details: Lots of History Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Kid-friendly, Great value

When we ordered our meals we were not told how long they would take to prepare. We assumed that it would be a reasonable amount of time. After an hour I asked a young male server how much longer we would have to wait and his reply was ‘I don’ know’ and he then walked off. What he should have said is ‘just a minute and I’ll find out’. Over 1 ¼ hours later our meals arrived. When we ordered the young lady would have known how long our meals would take to prepare and she should have informed us. As for the young man’s response, well what can I say about that.
Forgot to bring my order with tables other meals. Hastily reheated a meal which was terrible with cold and lumpy watered down mashed potato. Will never return
We booked a table for 1pm, we arrived at 1;20 PM we had a todler with us, when we arrived there was no table set aside for us and all the tables were full, we were told to wait and find one ourselves by the owner herself. We found one after a while and ordered, the kitchen closed at 2pm and by this time it was 1:40 so we ordered easy meals nachos, chips, chicken nuggets and chips ect it took over an hour for our todler to get his chicken nuggets and chips, by this time the pub was empty and we were confused, it took an hour and half for us to get the Nachos and when the nachos came out they were so burnt, and covered in cheese and sweet chilli sauce with no meat, we returned this and they said they would make it again. The waiter then came out with a dish we did not even order, they had not even started the other meals. We then waited for another 20 minutes and the chips came out, the chips were covered in cheese and the bacon and avo was just thrown on there, we decided to just ask for our money back and we would be leaving, we were happy to pay for the chicken nuggets and chips as they had come out and eaten by our todler. When we asked the owner for our money back as we were just going to go somewhere else to eat, the owner was incredibly rude and said she would only be reimbursing us a fraction of our meal cost as we were 20 minutes late to when we said we would be there... We ended up just leaving very disappointed, I feel this experience was horrible for us. We wont be back, and i dont reccommend anybody else go there for this experience.

The customer service was very badly felt like everything we demanded was also Gravy Salt for our meal was a great demand for a drink that made us feel like they were kindly heard by him. felt very unwillingly hastened. will not be back in a hurry
