If you are travelling in Herberton area drop into the Historic Royal Hotel, it's currently being renovated by new owner and offering entertainment at weekends. Classic old timber hotel, great photo op for historic cars out the front I reckon. We didn't stay but had a drink, it's currently being renovated and will look great when it's finished.

We walked in looking forward to a good old fashioned pub lunch and it was all downhill from there. Ordered hot roast meat rolls which was the pick of the bunch from tiny menu, other punters given table numbers we were told we didn’t need one so an hour later when our meal came out the poor waiter didn’t know where any order was going. The gravy in the rolls was old and had set hard and was the worst I’ve ever had. The table was filthy and the whole place needs a good clean and tidy up, we won’t be back. PS. Spoke to some locals who said they never eat there as the food is terrible, much better options nearby in Millaa Millaa.

This is a charming old wooden pub dating back to the early pioneer days on the frontier. It should be a major attraction with tourists. Unfortunately, when we visited there were only a couple of locals at the bar. Tempted by a 'ginger beer on tap' sign, we ordered a couple of them. The price was $8 and they were loaded with ice, even though I asked for a little. I wasn't impressed with the business strategy.

Bed covers stained and dirty and no door on toilet exposing you to whoever else is in your room. Driveway and parking area over grown with long grass. Would not stay again. Town is ok if your only there to see the historical village then keep going to the next town.

The meals where great in size and very quick even though the pub was busy. We had Pork chops with chips and salad. Crumbed steak chips and salad. And crumbed fish with chips and salad. Great prices also! We will be back.

Booked online with booking.com and when we came to the hotel after dawn & a long day, they said they never received a booking: „we don’t check booking.com or our emails“. The lady then just left and we where surprised and upset without knowing what to do. Luckily some guests in the pub were listening and helped us to organise a different place to stay. So the only good thing at this place where the friendly guests - for sure not the rude and unhelpful staff or the poor organisation skills

If you want an experience with real friendly locals in a 100 plus year old pub - this is the place! Best value accommodation and the biggest meals in NQ! The rooms and bathrooms were clean and freshly painted and the continental breakfast supplied had a great selection. Exceptional place to base yourself to see the tablelands.

Wow! Great little pub. American guy behind the bar was awesome. Beer was cold. Lunch was bloody awesome - huge meal at a great price. Best pub meal we've had for ages. Nice country pub atmosphere. Well done.

Decided on a whim to stay the night here with my wife and small child. Arrived about 2 hours after check-in and our room had not been made/prepared. Female staff member was very apologetic and accommodating though. We were placed in another room. Our new room needed more pillows and another towel. Was told by same staff member that another staff member would fix the issue asap. After checking several times I was told that I should just go and take what I need from other rooms. Didn't seem quite right. Definitely had the impression that there was some communication problems among the staff. To her credit, the female staff member did everything in her power to help us while she was busy with the front bar. The room was in in desperate need of repairs. The door knob didn't work. Could only close and lock it with the separate lock. Carpets were dirty. Beds appeared shabbily made with old, stained bedding. The towels were also very old and stained. The old window was a glass louver with a full panel missing letting in the cold night air and bugs. The single bed was missing a leg and was propped up with old motel bibles. This bed also desperately needed replacing as all the innersprings were collapsed. An old closed-up door in the room was also not sealed up properly letting in light and cold air. There was an old pedestal fan covered in black dust with a broken base. I put this in the wardrobe as it kept falling down. The shared bathroom had lots of spider webs (with spiders) covering the light and wall fittings. There was a dirty, soaked floor mat that appeared at least 5 years old. Water pressure and temperature in shower was fine. The entire level with the rooms was generally unclean. There was a shared kitchenette that had a small fridge and a mix of foods I assume were left by previous patrons. Despite the signs warning patrons that smoking was prohibited, I saw many cigarette butts lying around the veranda. We had dinner here.as every other business in town was closed. Meals were acceptable. When I checked out in the morning there were zero staff to be seen anywhere. This place definitely has old world character, and I like that stuff, however management really need to lift their standards. Again, credit to the female staff member that did her best despite the circumstances. I would only consider returning if they made BIG improvements.

Just found out that the Royal Hotel has pizzas every Friday evening, in addition to their regular dinner menu. We tried the Thai chicken and the Hawaiian pizzas. Excellent value at $17 each and very filling - more than one person could eat at a single sitting For those who don't like a lot of cheese, I suggest they indicate their preference when placing the order. While they are available either to eat there or take-away, I recommend eating there while still hot and fresh along with any of the wide range of drinks available.
