Hotel Cecil

Hotel Cecil is a quiet, relaxing hotel in Zeehan. Offers a cosy room (very quiet and warm) and a restaurant with Asian influenced meals. Try the prawns with ginger and shallots. Also turn up Jimi Hendrix on the jukebox with all along the watchtower, and play a game of pool. Good fun.

Quality food, good service. Sunday seems a little understaffed and thus a bit slow. The chicken burger was worth the wait.

Booked months in advance. What ever you do don't pay in advance and go elsewhere. I have reported the place. We turned up only to find out there was no accommodation, but we weren't the only people they had done it to that weekend. We ran into a group of bikers that had to travel to another town because they were in the same boat and had no accommodation and when we were having breakfast the next morning at the place where we found accommodation a group came in asking if they could get accommodation later that night because Cecil had no accommodation for them that they had booked. They didn't even have the decency to let us know that day. So besides the reports that have gone in about this place I ain't got a nice word to say about the place. I was given an excuse when we turned up and when I phoned I was given another excuse. Upon entry via the main Rd the place was derilict and you could have robbed the place as there was no one in sight. Food people had looked atrocious and I'm sure the only people to give it more than one star haven't been anywhere else. Make sure you have a back up plan.

Wonderful staff, great food, friendly locals and fabulous night out at the beautiful Gaiety Theatre. Thank you Hotel Cecil and Zeehan.

T is a run down old pub, comfortable beds, excellent food.
If the interior and exterior of the pub matched the hospitality and service of the owner and staff it would be a 6* establishment

Fantastic food with top notch service. May be an unusual menu, but it offers all the classics alongside an fantastic asian inspired menu. Highly recommend the thai beef salad!

Great atmosphere, I met some cool homeless dudes around the corner who offered me some crack. It was great

We ordered our food and despite being short staffed and it taking it a little while to get our food the lady's worked really hard to get all the orders out and I can honestly say it was the best chicken burger I've ever had I'd gladly go back

Zeehan is a struggling ghost town, yet people have found comfort here. We chose to eat at Hotel Cecil rather than the Oasis down the road.

We'd rather support a locally managed pub than a hotel chain, which preys on the poor through integrated gambling - surrounded by EGM's and Keno in a bistro style dining area.

The Oasis chain of hotels or Federal Group has lobbied the government to achieve govt.gambling policy in their favour, sucking the life out of towns like Zeehan and posting huge profits away from the township and into the concentrated family of the mega wealthy (who do not even live in Tasmania).

Hotel Cecil, on the other hand is owned and managed by a local migrant family, originally from the Philippines.

The food is great value and accommodating. The entrees and sauces are 100% home made - the best curry puffs and spring rolls we have had!

The chicken satay sauce was delicious and an easy win on the home-made front.

Not typical Aussie-country pub food, however pleasantly surprised, impressed and much, MUCH better than the usual serving of pub grub.

The service was very friendly and fast efficient food was great:) and felt very comfortable and the atmosphere was great only good place in Zeehan to get food

No complaints. Room very basic but clean and cheap. Shared bathroom big clean but nice hot strong shower. Friendly obliging staff. Pub grub ok.

Cheap room for a stopover, only serves bottle or can beer, but the food was great. Staff where happy to help in anyway.

Compassionate and caring staff.
Excellent food.
Clean facilities.
Would give 8 stars but I hate having nothing to complain about and this room is nicer than my place in Hawthorn VIC

The hotel is old but nice. It is clean and tidy. Rooms are clean tidy but basic. But heres the thing food really good, people really good. Small town helpfulness 10/10. Price I payed for room $60 night for one. I recommend chilli beef 7/10 hot as very pleasing to the palette.

Great service, atmosphere and food. There is magic happening in that kitchen. Open from sparrows fart till way past birdy bedtime. Doing good things here, and affordable rates!

I had no overnight stay there and the interior of the restaurant looks quite old fashioned, but the Asian food was very fantastic.

Fantastic Parmas and schnitzels, well priced. Friendly staff. Room was clean and warm, $60 a double $70 with ensuite.

Friendly staff; quiet, family friendly atmosphere; and fantastic food in variety, quality, and price. We will be back!
