Federal Hotel

Nice sized rooms, and lovely building

Was very noisy every night we stayed for the 7 days we were there. Had to move rooms due to being bitten by hives multiple times, both myself and partner suffered badly. Very disruptive neighbours in the room next door. Cockroaches in the bathrooms.

Nice large hotel with great fit out and victorian architecture with various theme nights and internal bars.. The food price seemed ok but we didn't eat there. The rooms were spacious and bed wasn't that bad good value for money for single travellers or couple but wouldn't recommend families.

Check in process was lacking, delayed (waited over 30 minutes) and invasion of privacy.. they compulsory scan a copy of your passport or drivers licence and keep it on their file permanently for no reason at all (potential identity theft) with no privacy forms or guidelines. I understand for foreign residence but should not apply for Australian residents. The power was out after check in and had to wait 1 hour before electricity was stable in room only. Internet was weak and lacking. The bathrooms and kitchen aren't modern and lacking.
