The bed was amazing like sleeping on clouds. Room was mostly quiet except for the sound of guests exiting and slamming doors.
Will visit again.

Quaint but very dated
It’s quaint, but very overpriced for the state of the hotel — it’s in serious need of a facelift.

Daylesford is a lovely place to visit with plenty of dining and other options. However, Hotel Frangos was disappointing due solely to the standard of the room we occupied. It was very tired and badly in need of refurbishment. Even the TV in our room was substandard in that there were only two channels. A staff member said there was an outage in the town but this was not correct when we inquired elsewhere.
