Great location within easy walking distance from shops and cafes and good value for money. Loved the extra large towels. Easy check in with great instructions. Parking facilities on site which was good. Impressed with the tea/coffee sachets in the room which kept us going for our 4 night stay. Felt strange having self check in and not seeing anyone when we checked in or out (although we did bump into the housekeeper towards the end of our stay, who was very friendly and asked if there was anything we needed). Maybe this is the way of the future?

Room felt cramped. Not much room to put your clothes into other than a hanging space type wardrobe. However I appreciate that they were trying to make the most of the space there was and they did. The only sink in the place was in the bathroom and it was very tiny. Difficult to fill kettle. Bathroom toiletries high up on window ledge which a short person wouldn’t be able to reach (such as myself). I did mention this on leaving and the housekeeper said they were thinking of putting in shower caddies to hold the toiletries.

PROXIMITY - It was at the city centre of Bright. Everything is within close proximity - restaurants, grocery stores and other shops! Furthermore, it was just a walking distance to where the shuttle pick up going to Mt. Hotham was so it was super convenient for us. THE ROOM - The room was fairly clean when we arrived. There's just a bit of lingering smell maybe from people that was in the room previously. The heater was already on when we went in so it feels cozy coming from the chilly outside feels. The toilet was clean too. Other than that, everything is clean so shout out to the hotel cleaner - good job! FURNITURES - The bed was great and comfy which has a heated function so it adds to our comfort during this winter weather including the microwave which was normally dirty with other hotels that we stayed in. During this stay, we used the microwave often as it's been raining a lot so we decided to take away and eat-in. STAFF - Staff were amazing! They can easily be communicated through text messaging. They initiate self check in and it was a breeze! Coffee, tea, toilet rolls stocks were ample for our 2-night stay. On our last day, I requested to check out a little later than usual so we can have a slow and easy breakfast in town without rushing and they were very nice to allow us to stay an hour longer. Thank you so much, Bright Velo Team!

SOFA - The sofa could be better if it's a leather so that it can be wiped out clean rather than fabric which is stain prone and looked dirty from the outside. TOILET - Just a downside that the toilet floor are floorboards so it's a bit run down with all the water splashes instead of tiles and the sink is too small to wash dishes.

The close proximity to town.

The bathroom was really small and you could feel the cold air under the flooring. The pillows were uncomfortable and I forgot to bring my own.

We had a beautiful Queen room on the top floor with juliette balcony overlooking the street. It's a very special room, cleverly renovated, and we really enjoyed it. The twin vanity, double shower, were particularly stunning and I was very happy to have my own personal vanity to spread out on, do makeup, beauty routine, while my husband had his own vanity for shaving. It was a nice touch to this lovely, relaxing space. Despite having street frontage, we didn't find the street noise invasive. The location, if you enjoy centre of town stays, was fantastic. At 6am can be across the street in a jiffy to grab coffee and cookie from Beechworth Bakery and there's a cafe next to it called Wild Thyme that does the best healthy breakfasts! The best fish and chips down the road at Roksalt. Everything we could wish for is within reach of Velo, including easy walks to the river. There is untimed parking in the carpark opposite Velo and 2 hr timed parking in front for unloading/loading luggage. We would definitely stay here again.

It's all self check in and out and other than a lovely lady who took our room number when we arrived, things felt impersonal and clinical. I expect that from airbnb when the host isn't on site, but I guess I hadn't realised Velo was that kind of accommodation. We know now and are prepared for it next time. Didn't bother us, but for those who struggle with stairs, there are two flights of stairs to the top floor rooms and the stairwells are steep. Lighting in the bathroom is very dim and on the second night, during early evening, we went for showers and had no hot water for quite some time. The bed was too firm for us, but that's not a negative because a lot of people like firm beds. These are all minor things that haven't put us off another short stay in the future.

Location . Clean . Easy access

Everything was very nice and comfortable but we needed an extra blanket as we were cold . No electric blankets . Ended up putting the towels on the bed for extra warmth

This hotel is exceptional. Check-in was simple, the room is beyond stunning and absolutely silent even though it faced the road, the location is excellent and having the bar and restaurant attached meant not having to face the cold winter nights when we wanted dinner or drinks. The shower in the room (room 1) rates its own mention. It’s spectacular!

Nothing really - we just weren’t smart enough to figure out how to stream to the TV when my husband wanted to watch the football. We kept getting sound but no visuals. That’s user error though.

Review Absolutely loved our stay at Bright Velo! The host was amazing — they couldn’t have done more for us and even gave us a free upgrade to the VIP suite. The suite was beautifully renovated with modern amenities, luxurious bedding, and high-quality linen — super comfortable and stylish. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Bright, and within walking distance to all the best restaurants and shops. Highly recommend!

Location

Bright Velo is located in the heart of Bright where cafes and river are just a short walk away and the bike track is right next door. You would think that it would be noisy, but it really wasn't. We didn't hear a thing from any other guests or people in Bright for the entire length of our stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the room (family room) was much bigger than we expected and the bike storage was easy and secure. We were surprised to find that that complimentary toiletries were of an unusually high standard. The staff are warm and welcoming and check in was too easy. From now on, this will be the place where we will stay when we are in Bright.

We liked everything about it.

I highly recommend this accomodation; central location and lovely decor. The highlight was super friendly Naomi, who made our room spotless and gave my husband and I some great sightseeing tips.

we stayed therefor 2 nights and we love the accomodation except for some guest ( indian background) so noisy while heating up their food at 10-11pm… they closed the microwave door so loud and talked so loud to the point that they are disturbing our sleep. they do not care of other people sleeping already.

Location.

Room too small for us. I'll book a room with more space. Also please..more hooks on the walls to hang jackets etc.. On the website you advertise a photo of a room with a fire place for chilling out and relaxing.. I couldn't find this room and no one seemed to know about. We visited Bright to go hiking and were looking forward to using this facility to relax before dinner.
