Hotel Eyre - WHYALLA PLAYFORD

There is not a great eating selection in Whyalla, but the Eyre Hotel having been re novated and run by one of the oldest hotel families in SA seemed a logical choice. Yes it is pub food, but good quality pub food We had fish and a porterhouse steak. Everyone enjoyed and said they would go back. The eating area is pleasant, the staff answered any questions and the food was delivered on time. Also a reasonable drinks list.

Tried to have dinner as a solo diner at only to be told all tables were reserved even though there was not a person in sight. I asked what time the tables were booked and was told pm and it was suggested l...eat outside or in the sports bar. It was so didn’t want to do this. Both bar staff were extremely rude so decided to give it a miss and take my business elsewhere. The worst customer service l have experienced ever.

A good variety of food choices on the menu and some nice wines to choose from. Bowls options were good based with options to add meat, tofu,... Service was good, atmosphere: modern pub!

Tender beef schnitzel with nice crumb (huge), well dressed salad chips and a nicely battered single serve fish with chips salad (same as schnitzel). Friendly staff food delivered promptly. Thank you Hotel Eyre for a very pleasant Sunday lunch.

We stayed for two nights but wouldn't stay there again. The pub is good, with excellent meals and a nice atmosphere. The rooms are quite small, which wasn't surprising for but are reasonably comfortable. The main problem was the dirty bathroom. The shower especially...was filthy. When the room was made up after the first night, no new towels were provided, yet the dirty floor mat was put on top of the old towels to dry. The cleaners don't seem to have much concept of cleanliness! To get fresh towels, since there was nobody at the front desk, involved foraging for them in a storage area...
