The hotel has an older-style charm
, but room quality appears to vary, so it’s worth confirming details before booking.
The room we were allocated had no TV, opening windows, ventilation, or air conditioning. Although there were windows, they were fixed shut as they faced into an internal conservatory. Light from the conservatory filtered through the curtains overnight, keeping the room bright and making it difficult to sleep, and the lack of airflow made the room feel airless and stuffy.
At $240 per night, this is something we would have expected to be disclosed in advance. There were also framed photos of staff in the room, which felt unusual
We spent 2 nights at the Hotel Etico. It was a special experience to us. Friendly and warm customer service. We enjoyed the dinner at the Niccolo's Restaurant in the hotel, nice food and live music. Our room didn't have a TV but it was nice and quiet. Impressed by the vision and mission of the hotel.
Wonderful evening
Great service
Beautiful food
Enjoyed sitting in a relaxed atmosphere listening to the live music
Would highly recommend to all

My friends and I went to this amazing historical place for dinner and we were entertained by a group called Antelope, who added to our enjoyment for the evening.
The food was delicious and staff friendly and helpful. A shout out to Josh who doesn’t let his disability stop him from his wonderful service. Thank you all 👏 👏👏

I spent a lovely evening as a solo traveller returning from visiting an aunt in Bathurst.
The rooms are comfortable, staff accommodating and the bonus was the ambience of the bar and restaurant.
