Mercure Bendigo Schaller 4.5 stars

good location, friendly staff, rooms are a little tight on space..

Late arrival was handle well, with a friendly greeting and help with getting a meal quickly. Parking out front is super convenient although only just enough, as had to park on the street Thursday night. Rooms are efficient with no surplus space and while okay for a one person business traveller may be tight for a couple. Love the decor and bed was great for a good nights sleep.

Lovely staff, lovely location, breakfast was simple and good. But.... the bedroom was far too small for this type of hotel. We were glad we had booked a double room as there would not have been any room in a single room. I am short and this is the first time my feet have dangled over the end of a bed in a hotel.

I have stayed in several of the Art Series hotels and always loved them as they never seemed to miss a beat so I was sad to see that they have been taken over by Mercure. Desperately hoping nothing much had changed from my last visit to the Schaller (as it didn’t need to), I was disappointed to see the result. While the rooms are still clean, neat, tidy and modern and the beds are comfy, there is a lot now lacking (which it wasn’t before). There was no face washers provided or soap (other than body soap). No mini bar, no 24 hour reception, only one pillow each. No disabled parking that I could see, (or perhaps the symbol is so old that it’s now worn off) meaning I had to park our car in the gravel car park and push my son in his wheelchair with all our bags across gravel and over a step - not an easy task. On the plus, the staff were very friendly, particularly in the cafe and they were very obliging when I requested a disabled access room. The food in the cafe was really nice and well priced. The location is what brings me back as it suits us for our early morning appointments at the hospital. It’s still a nice hotel, it’s just a shame that the personality these hotels used to have seems to have disappeared with the takeover of the Mercure.

Room is small but compact well built everything works and has everything you need. small balcony with 2 stools we had 2 single beds. staff very helpful and friendly. restaurant go to for breakfast and sometimes dinner. could have more vegetables and salad only critique of restaurant.

Satisfactory

Spent a night here on a business trip. Staff are very friendly, comfortable and clean rooms, shower pressure was amazing. I've now requested our company book this in for all future business trips to Bendigo. Only criticism was the chicken parma I had for dinner was way overcooked but the duck spring rolls and breakfast wrap were great.

Helpful staff, very comfortable bed, lovely room with view

Location was great as l needed to be near Bendigo Hospiral and extremely friendly staff.

My partner and I stayed at the Mecure Schellar in Bendigo during the Easter break 2021. Our room was the perfect size, small but comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was a really nice pressure! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The location is minutes away from the lake and the town center. It was very quite and great parking! We cannot complain! The cafe was also very lovely.

Very friendly staff, great food, very clean and comfy rooms. Staff went above and beyond to help us immediately when our toilet broke.

Nice clean room,nice polite staff ,decent location Overall 9 out off 10

We stayed there for one night, the beds are to short and the room was very small.

Beautiful clean hotel Amazing Professional & friendly staff . Very Comfortable.

The room was clean, tidy and nicely presented. We stayed for 2 nights and the check in/check out experience were great. The restaurant wasn't too bad, food was tasty but felt a little expensive for the portions. They should look into incorporating more vegetarian/seafood options, or even halal meat option. The hotel was fully booked and finding a place to park was extremely difficult, it would be better if the parking spots are allocated to specific rooms which will ensure that everyone has a designated parking spot. The only possible downside to our entire stay was the housekeeping. They failed to do the cleaning/change of sheets & towels even after requesting to the reception. The front desk did acknowledge the issue and the lady was nice enough to give us some new towels & plates.
