Reviews of Naughtons Hotel

We booked the back room at Naughtons for an end of program dinner with around 30 people, and we had an absolutely fantastic experience. The food was exceptional, the service warm and attentive (and the admin/booking process beforehand was incredibly easy and flexible to our needs), and the atmosphere was perfect for a celebratory evening. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot — highly recommend. ★★★★★

Second visit Second time here in the restaurant for a winery lunch and it was just as good as the first visit. The food was absolutely delicious. For me, the ceviche was the standout. Beautifully flavoured with some fascinating texture and pop from the finger limes. The service was superb too - particularly from Hamish and Milly who were outstanding. Top class stuff. This is a brilliant gastro pub experience. We’d happily return here anytime First visit Came here for a winery lunch. It’s good. The dining area is lovely and well appointed. The food was good but maybe not top draw. The best course was an unusual one. It was advertised as mussels with bread and we expected a bowl of mussels with some bread on the side. Instead it was mussels on the bread with lovely green touches. It was a lovely dish. The wines from Narkoojee were exceptional and the pairings were excellent. Service was variable throughout. It was spectacularly good from our prime server Grace but typically less impressive from other servers except the senior male manager who was really good. It’s a nice gastro pub, and we’d happily return anytime.

This is a lovely little hotel with only 10 rooms. There's a restaurant/pub below with excellent food. It closes before 10pm, so no real issue with noise there. I was given room 104 which was their largest room with a sitting area. It has no view which wasn't the real issue. The problem was a large compressor outside the window which went on and off all night which disturbed the sleep quality. I requested a change of room and the staff were happy to oblige, most politely with no questions asked. I was given one of the rooms facing the main road which was not particularly busy and so was essentially quieter. However the trams start at about 5.45am which woke me up early (luckily I had to wake up about then anyway to catch my international flight). There was some other noise at around 2am with a couple of guys talking loudly outside but that's another story ... The other problem I had is that I suffer from allergy and this bothered me during my 3 night stay. I suspect that the carpet was made from wool (which I'm allergic) to rather than feather pillows (which I'm also allergic to). But this would not be an issue for normal folk! Overall, I liked this place. Loved the boutique style. The food downstairs was delicious. Staff were polite. I chose this hotel because of the location close to the Uni.
