The Denman Hotel in Thredbo

I can only rate our 2-night stay as average. There were pluses and minuses. Parking is listed on TA as an amenity of the hotel. Not so. There is no parking available on-site or next to the hotel (most lodges have at least a few spots), so we had to unload the car on the street, then drive to one of the public carparks several hundred metres away, then walk back. Our room was comfortable, with a queen-sized bed. But ..... outside our one and only window an unknown piece of equipment was running ALL NIGHT, so we had to sleep with the window closed, and with no air-con. The fan in the bathroom came on every time you turned the light on, which is fine if it didn't sound like a freight train running past. Bottom line: not a good sleep. There was also a sign warning guests we are liable to a $1500 are brigade turn up fee if we did not close the bathroom sliding door and turn the fan on when having a shower as the smoke detector is "sensitive". This was an interesting threat. If the fire brigade ever does show up, hopefully they will notice the complete absence of any fire evacuation maps for guests in case of an actual emergency. A final comment is that the hotel could do with a MAJOR reno/upgrade. For example, worn and threadbare carpet is a tad unsightly if not a trip hazard.

The room was very small, window didn’t have a fly screen so we couldn’t leave it open at night. The fridge had been turned off and it took a while until it was generally cold in there. ( that’s inconvenient when you bring items that need refrigeration )At breakfast there was juice ( apple and orange )that was off. Both bottles have been opened before and when pointed out it was not thrown away but put back in the basket. I had to ask for cut up fruit and juice as the basket was empty. The breakfast staff was not very attentive! There was no parking in front of Hotel. The restaurant was closed and only pub food was available. Generally the Hotel looked a bit outdated. The staff was friendly and the room was clean.

breakfast was excellent, heart of thredbo. but the music venue wasnt too organised in bar area. said I could not put stool near the bar, but someone did it as soon as I turned around.

I so enjoyed my stay at the Denman. Judy on reception, is laid back, friendly and efficient. All the servers and housekeeping staff were friendly, efficient and kind. The single room I booked was bigger than I thought it would be, and was perfect for me. There was everything I needed, hair dryer, kettle, proper size fridge. The wifi is really good. Check out my YouTube, I'll do a bit of a review, No Second Season. There is no parking on site, but I found a good spot in one of the many long stay, free parking areas in the village. The restaurant food is excellent, and not ridiculously pricey. I was sorry to leave and hope to be back.

Location is great in terms of accessibility to the main town centre, ski lifts, public car parks.

Great food and hospitality. Will be back.

Excellent location right in the centre of the village.

Wonderful staff, at the restaurant. Food was great.

The Denman hotel is a lovely old building, nice and central. My room was clean and tidy with a renovated bathroom. Great stay.
