Haven’t been to Northcote for 11 years & came away disappointed. Advised before arrival to park in car park at rear- not the welcome expected….”greeted” by an automated intercom then having to cart luggage over mud & stones! Room not ready so had a drink in bar. Sandwich not great, overpowering mayonnaise with not much ham & ginger biscuits with coffee were stale & had obviously been stored for a while. Building looking tired & dated. Bedroom needs attention, chipped furniture, broken appliances & curtains need attention. Given courtesy glass of bubbles to then find charge on bill when checking out! Bed very comfortable & room clean. Bathroom well stocked & very large with bath & shower. Meal at night part of Obsession. Good food but service very chaotic & felt like some staff brought in for night & hadn’t worked in a restaurant before. Some staff described the dish to us while on 2 occasions it was dumped in front of us with”there you go, enjoy” Breakfast was excellent. Waiter fantastic, very professional (George) & so much better than service at dinner. Cheese soufflé did not disappoint. Overall a disappointment and feels like Northcote has been left behind the times. The building has lost its beauty & character & food is just good with chaotic service.
