Midland Hotel, Castlemaine

The Midland Hotel offers a perfect weekend escape from Melbourne. We hopped on the V/line at Footscray and an hour later walked across the road from Castlemaine Station to the beautifully restored Hotel Midland. Anne met us and gave us a thorough tour of the hotel before showing us to our upstairs room. The attention to detail and the quality of the furnishings is quite something. Needless to say we felt we were in a rather sumptuous home away from home for our stay. Mauro runs the Maurocco Bar with good humour, grace and precision- his cocktails are not to be missed. In the morning Mauro serves up a very generous and delicious breakfast. His selection of morning music soothes. That Bar Midland is part of the hotel, although a separate business, just lifts the experience to another level. Don’t miss it. You’re going to stay for the weekend, so don’t miss Wild either for friendliness, food and great drinks. Castlemaine has a fabulous art gallery and history museum and the people are friendly. A tremendously restorative weekend. Thank you Anne and Mauro.

The Midland Hotel is from another time another place. The owners Mauro and Ann make you feel like family. The art deco influenced interiors are straight out of Paris. Mauro and Ann have restored the hotel to its former glory. Our suite and the "drawing room" were absolutely magnificent. Service beyond expectations. Highly recommend this hotel for a unique experience.

Absolutely stunning old school hotel with classic corner Victorian facade and immaculate Art Deco interior. Feels like stepping back in time. Great rooms, delicious and attentive breakfast, very nice people running it

The Midland has kept the charm of yesteryear. The lounge room is truly spectacular and a great place to unwind. Mauro was a great host and nothing was too troublesome for him. The location is great as its across the road from the train station and nearby to pubs, restaurants and shops. See you again Mauro.

Thank you Mauro for a lovely stay at the Midland on Saturday night. You were a wonderful host, our room was great, the bed was very comfortable, bathroom clean and everything was thought of. Breakfast was great as well. Hope to be back soon.

We had a wonderful stay at the Midland Hotel. Thankfully, Mauro has kept much of the design elements of the original hotel. The result is a unique accommodation with a delightful character. Not a tv in sight, hooray!

So cozy on an sneaky autumn weekend away. Pre-war style with a large relaxing reception room and a cocktail bar where you feel as though you might have wandered into the movie Casablanca. Our bedroom was so quiet and restful with a renovated bathroom but they made the clever decision to keep the old shower system! Continental breakfast kept us going into the afternoon. Pot of tea was spot on. Loved the experience! Thank you Mauro and Anne

We blundered into the world of Mauro's Maurocco Bar and found a world of gentle hospitality hosted in a tribute to style design icons. Its a must visit for the Castlemaine region. The Japanese Slippers were perfect! Thankyou Mauro, we will be back.

Didn't stay here but found this wonderful hotel while visiting Castlemaine. Very friendly staff, Art Deco everywhere...I'm bowled over.
Just drinks this time but would recommend hospitality. Castlemaine galleries and museums are wonderful.

Amazing place to stay, great location, Mauro was so humble , warmly .The place was very clean and fully of Historical. Breakfast was lots choose and delicious. Looking forward to go back !

Very warm, comfortable bed and excellent breakfast. This is just a gorgeous hotel with rich interiors and packed with heritage.

Macro & Ann took me under their wing one visit when I was at a low point. You couldn't get that kind of care & consideration anywhere but The Midland Hotel. I'll never forget that.

A wonderful stay, Mauro even went to the effort to cater for a gluten free diet.
The hotel is a gem that takes you back in time

Great experience. Very comfortable and not your typical modern cookie cutter hotel. We can't wait to go back.

Simply lovely. Old world, warm, comfy, great open fire, and gentleman host

Old worldly. Beautiful rooms and garden. Great hospitality. We love this place.

Friendly, cosy and comfortable, quirky; can't wait to come again!

The room was so peaceful as I am looking for. Timely service.

Wonderful place to stay, great place for a drink
