Criterion Hotel Sale

“Fantastic Dining”

We dined as a group of 16 at The Criterion with a last minute booking and Chad was wonderful accommodating us. Julie provided exceptional service and the food was outstanding. Everyone enjoyed the meal and the setting. Thank you to all the staff for a great night.

Arrived last minute on a Friday winter's night as was driving to Melbourne and fatigue stopped me at Sale. While considering whether to continue I saw The Criterion, all lit up and looking inviting. I booked a room and had dinner. The meal was something else: looked and tasted delicious. The room was clean and modern with a big TV. Staff were pleasant, helpful and professional. The experience was so much more than expected. Only suggestion is that I would have booked directly rather than through a booking service if the price was comparable. The cost through the booking service was $54 per night less than booking directly with The Criterion. As a woman travelling alone I really appreciated the standard of both the facilities and the service and recommend highly.

“Great Country Hotel”

I really wish more hotels would follow what the Criterion in Sale has done. Most motels are old and tired and many country pubs are barely habitable, the Criterion is a masterclass in how to provide excellent accommodation in a country setting.

I really wish more hotels would follow what the Criterion in Sale has done. Most motels are old and tired and many country pubs are barely habitable, the Criterion is a masterclass in how to provide excellent accommodation in a country setting. It's a joy to see an old hotel revived in all areas to such a high standard. The room, although on the smaller side, was modern, clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom very clean. The restaurant is also beautifully decorated and the food and service was good. The Criterion's is perfectly situated in the middle of Sale's CBD. I highly recommend the Criterion, on comfort, service, location, style and price.

“Hotel OK, bar/restaurant need to train staff.”

Good location, free parking on site. Receptionist was very friendly and professional. Rooms are just the right size for 2, well renovated. We went into the bar/restaurant around 4.30 pm to see what's on the menu and ask until when the kitchen was open. The cook (?) told us the kitchen closes at 5.3… Mais

Good location, free parking on site. Receptionist was very friendly and professional. Rooms are just the right size for 2, well renovated. We went into the bar/restaurant around 4.30 pm to see what's on the menu and ask until when the kitchen was open. The cook (?) told us the kitchen closes at 5.30 pm in an non-inviting tone. When we returned to the hotel around 8 pm after dinner in another restaurant, we saw through the window people sitting at a big table in their restaurant. Maybe we did not respect the dressing code (jeans and T-shirt, our holiday outfit) or did the cook (?) did not want to get overworked? So far for the professionalism of the kitchen/bar staff. As ex-hospitality staff we found this very rude. Do your job or quit it.
