Loved the Princess Suite which was spacious and furnished to match its unique character. It was great having a separate lounge and bedroom, both air conditioned. I would definitely stay again

The accommodation is "old world" and is both charming and comfortable. We stayed in the "flat" and found it suited us nicely for the Leyburn and winery trips. Also Morgan Park is close , if you enjoy racing cars!

my rating is base on the fact that A: the hotel is quite an old building so so modern facilities are limited or non existent
B: in regards to noise this is a pub in the centre of the Warwick CBD so noise is to be expected. The room was bare but the bed was comfortable and the pub central to everything (well almost everything). The staff were friendly at check in. I enjoyed my stay and would be happy to book again.

Criterion certainly has that country charm, the staff were exceptionally good and friendly and very helpful. The staff make the Criterion great all over. Some of the patrons shod probably seek counselling or check into rehab. The staff deserve a 10/10 for all the crap they put up with. Thank you, we enjoyed our stay there.

We stayed in "the Apartment" at the hotel. Beautiful spacious room/lounge/kitchen and best of all airconditoned.
Be aware is says 1 queen 1 single in the advert. Single is a mattress on the floor.
Food from the bistro was amazing even with it being a very busy night. Steak cooked to perferction and Parmys to die for.
Will be back.

Rooms are average and could do with a make over. Water out of taps is brown and wouldn't be recommend to use. Up side meal's are well priced and delicious and made up for the advantage rooms. Probably wouldn’t stay again for the price but would go there for meals

We stopped for an overnight stay, very noisy has we were told there was a function on being a Saturday night. But the noise continued for most of the night with people running up and down the hallway (which was timber in the section we were in) and standing in the hallway talking. We had no blind or curtain covering our window (our room faced the center of the building), so lots of lights were shining in. We had a shared bathroom which was very clean. In our room we had a basin, when we turned on the cold-water tap (only one that worked) the water was brown.

We stayed in the "Princess" room at the Criterion which has its own bathroom. It is an old hotel but the room has been refurbished and is great value for money. Very spacious and lots of old world charm. There is a pub downstairs so a bit of noise from that but convenient for dinner. We stayed during the week so wasn't that noisy.

It is central to other towns, convenient, easy parking, no cleaners on weekend and as a result, bins in toilet & bathrooms are over flowing. Buckets on hallways for water leaks. Lack of ventilation. I recommend it for stop over of a couple of days. Good for adult travels and work for its convenience but not with children.

Don't look at the photos. One very small room , no hanging space , tea and coffee making in communal room with no cutlery , no fridge in room but in communal room. Woule like health check on tea and coffee making "table". Heritage listed but could do far better.
