Fantastic, clean motel with a good family friendly atmosphere with plenty of parking! Was greeted with a wonderful, friendly receptionist and the wonderful hospitality continued with manager Jack who was able to assist and rectify a bathroom issue immediately. Housekeeping staff were exceptional, could not fault the cleanliness of our family room including the mini kitchenette facilities. Bathroom was free from mould and mildew and was amazingly clean - a rarity in many hotels/motels! Also used the included laundry facilities which was needed for a 5 night stay. Aside from the motel cleanliness, this motel is in a fantastic location with walking distance to the breathtaking Cathedral, and the centre of High Street only a few minutes away. Very close proximity to amenities such as Coles and Woolworths, Shopping mall, petrol stations and dining. Motel was also really quiet and although we stayed over the new year period, the motel guests/rooms were soundproof and was very quiet! Can only hear a bit of road noise which did not bother us at all.

There isn’t much to fault about this property! Only downsides we experienced were our family room was located at room 24 and had two outdoor bunker lights on each side of the window which let a lot of light in at night around the kitchen blind and the main bed was a queen not a king - we slept seperate during our stay to ensure comfort as Queen size was a bit squishy for the two of us.

Cathedral Motor Inn is a larger complex than expected - has three sets of upper and ground level units. So, if mobility is an issue need to advise at booking that stairs are a problem. Lots of resident parking and next to a small park that overlooks the Cathedral. My rooms - I stayed twice during my trip to Bendigo, were spacious, clean and had all the essentials. Bed and bedding were great, plus had electric blanket if needed. Aircon, kettle, toaster, cutlery, crockery. Microwave, small fridge, ironing board, hairdryer, and toiletries. The location is great for accessing dining options - Beechworth bakery within 5mins walking - open from 7.30am every day - although I learned from taxi driver that Gilles pies are the local brand. Walking distance to restaurants like Malayan Orchid, Oya's for Turkish, Borchelli for Italian. Lots of other options to explore. Information centre within easy walking distance. Located on a main road, but very quiet in room 9 and 25. Depending on how much luggage you have, buses run from Railway station, and Vline coach drop-off, otherwise taxi takes around 5-7 mins. Staff at reception were friendly and efficient. Held my luggage after checkout and offered umbrella when it rained. Thank you.

It was a busy public holiday weekend so understandably options for late checkout were very limited. Awkward if your pickup for an event is mid afternoon.

The staff were incredibly friendly! Top notch customer service! It is a very laid back and quiet vibe there. The rooms were clean and fresh & the bathrooms updated. The only issue we ran into was there was not enough parking and had to park elsewhere when we came back in the evening. I do suspect that it was due to a basketball tournament + school holidays and there were many rooms that had multiple cars per room. (I do not believe that this would be an issue normally as there was loads of parking spaces) Overall, I would stay there again if I was to go to Bendigo again.

Fantastic location, room was spacious and perfect for our needs. Staff were so friendly and helpful.

The property was exceptionally clean. The family room was a great layout with queen bed in one room and 3 singles in the second room, all fitted with the comforts of electric blankets, split systems in both rooms and tv’s in both rooms. The water pressure was amazing! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Location is so good that we could walk to dinner and explore the city.

Parking can be a little tricky depending what time you arrive. There are enough carparks for every room but depending on where other larger cars park can make getting into some parks near impossible.

Prperty was chosen based on the facilities on offer and location. Location for access to attractions was good. However, it proved to be on a very busy road. Our choice of room, with a spa bath, was road facing, so inevitably, that meant traffic noise until late at night and from early morning, which wasn't ideal. Facilities were good, but we felt that they were a little tired and in need of a facelift.

There were plenty of flying bugs around, which was off-putting. Thankfully, a bug spray was to be found in the wardrobe. It certainly got plenty of use! Some of the furnishings had seen better days, and lighting was poor.

I love this hotel. It looks like it was built around the late 1960's or early 1970's. It is a particularly fine example of Australian country hotels of the era. I love the rooms, which are eminently spacious and elegant in a rustic way; the staff are particularly friendly and competent; and the location, across the road from the cathedral and a short walk from the centre of town in one direction and the Central Deborah Mine in the other, is ideal. It is a 20 minute walk via peaceful streets to the station too. Everything else about it is fine too.

The location was very good, we were able to walk into town which is a real advantage. I have become fond of this motel style accommodation. It is great to be able to pull up just outside the room and unload your luggage. The important things we like to see when staying over are a comfortable bed and a good hot water service and we were pleased that these were both present. The towels were great and I even appreciated the generous size of the coffee cups. It worked out well for us.

The internet wasn’t working however this was something that the staff had only discovered that morning. Fortunately it’s not such a big issue these days as we were able to use our hot spots.

Rooms have been tastefully updated and are spotlessly clean.

How close it is to the shops, food places and station, its a nice space, the two rooms is helpful for our family because we can have our separate spaces if needed. The two TV's is really cool and helpful, the bathroom is nice to use and the staff are so nice, friendly, understanding and helpful. The view is really nice of the church and my kids were very happy to think it was a castle. Definitely will be staying here anytime we visit from now on.

There wasn't really anything we didn't like, the kitchen facilities were a little difficult to deal with trying to find things to cook in the microwave for the kids but we worked past it.
