Bathurst Royal Hotel at 108 William Street is the heritage-listed Royal Hotel building, a former hotel that now operates as apartment-style accommodation in Bathurst. The building has Victorian Filigree architecture and is part of the city’s commercial heritage, with a long hotel history before its later apartment use.

The accommodation is self-contained rather than a standard full-service hotel room. Rooms include a sitting area with a flat-screen TV and DVD player, and some units include a dining area or a balcony. The kitchen setup includes an oven, microwave and toaster, while each unit has a private bathroom with a shower, bathrobes, towels and bed linen.

The stay works well for travelers who want to arrive by car because free private parking is available on site. Free Wi-Fi is also part of the stay, and Bathurst Royal Hotel includes a terrace, giving the building more than just a room-only setup.

The property has been renovated within the historic building, so the appeal is tied to the old Royal Hotel structure as much as to the apartment facilities. A past guest room detail noted a top-floor apartment overlooking William Street and the city centre, with a large bedroom and a large sitting and dining room.

The main limit is that there is no reception facility at the hotel, so the stay must be pre-booked. That makes Bathurst Royal Hotel better suited to guests who are comfortable with an arranged arrival rather than a walk-in hotel front desk.
