Panania Hotel - Panania, New South Wales

Annette Dittmar

We worked in the area so decided to stop by for dinner. The place is very welcoming and perfectly located next to Panania Station. Also parking available on the street. As it was a Wednesday itl was Schnitzel Night with dishes starting at $16 plus extra for various toppings. There was also a specials menu which had great options and of course a very extensive pub grub menu. Dining area is large and friendly and has access to a playing area for kids. The playing area is CCTV monitored so parents can see where and what the kids are up to which is very clever.
Steven - the manager- was walking the floor and greeted us and explained all the menu options we had. He is very friendly and made us feel welcome. Bar staff also very lovely. We all opted for the Schnitzel and some sides. Portions were generous and good value for money. Unfortunately we were so hungry that I forgot to take any pictures of the meals! But I am sure we'll be back when we are in the area against will follow up on this.

The food and drinks are well priced and good.
The staff are courteous and friendly. There was a range of disappointing issues with the accommodation which we raised by email after an early morning departure. We received a call from Tammy almost immediately after the email was sent. Tammy handled our complaint with professionalism and understanding. She is a credit to the establishment and I hope the owners listen to her when she passes on our concerns. One of the issues was 'no hot water ' and I see this mentioned repeatedly in reviews here and on Booking.com.
It's poor form to know an issue exists and then continue to accept bookings without rectifying the problem.
A hot shower in a clean bathroom is a basic requirement of any guest. PH failed on these issues and by the looks of things, repeatedly. Poor form.

Highly recommend for any function!

Padam the head chef & Tammy the function coordinator both came in on their day off to make sure my event ran smoothly.

Food was delicious!!!

Huge indoor play area and a face painter - kept all the children entertained.

The room & bathrooms in the hotel were good. Clean and comfortable. staff are decent. However during my stay, there was an alleged robbery that occurred causing me to wait outside in the cold until 4:30am. I only got 5 hours of sleep the night before and had a long exhausting day so the situation was extremely frustrating. I was visiting Sydney from Melbourne meaning I had no where else to go, not even the cops were allowed to go get my stuff for me upstairs while the place was being searched down stairs. Worst part is no one told me when it was safe to go back inside & so I just had to assume it was okay after the last police car left. Even more frustrating, I got woken up by staff the next morning because they still expected me to check out at 10/11am? I should have at least been allowed to check out later due to the ordeal, 6 hours sleep after having a long day and a stressful night is not good enough. I know it’s not any of the staff, or anyone’s fault directly that this happened but it was handled extremely poorly

One of the worst hotels I've had the privilege of staying at. Large room with the creakiest bed I've ever been in.
The TV on the walls with cables draped over it didn't work.
The shower pressure was non existent, just a sad trickle of ice cold water to wash in (great for whim hoff fans)
Lovely interaction with the hourly train schedule as the room rattles like hell
Redeemed only by the somewhat reasonable price

A good local pub. Good menu with plenty options to choose from, friendly staff. Plenty seating options. Good food and generous servings.

What happened to the Chicken Bocconcini Pizza & Beef Brisket Nachos? I ordered those like 75% of the times. They were absolutely delicious & for whatever weird reason, it's been done away with. Disappointed

Steaks here are great, and actually cooked how you ask. Very good food.
