What guests think

At Bakery Hill Motel, guests highlight a central, walkable location and generally spacious, comfortable rooms balanced by dated decor, tight on-site parking with a steep driveway, mixed cleanliness standards, and occasional road noise or minor maintenance issues.

Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, and check-in is straightforward. Showers often have strong water pressure, though some bathrooms are older or use shower over bath setups that feel less convenient. Expect simple, good value motel comfort in a very handy location.

Have now stayed in multiple rooms. Beds are comfortable, shower has great pressure, check in always simple. Car park is a bit tight in larger cars when full, but manageable.

Room was lovely. Beds comfy. We were on the second floor. Steps were a little hard on mum. Bathroom spacious and modern. Big tv. Walking distance to some pubs and shopping. Close to Goldfields. Parking was a little awkward but safe.

Big room comfortable bed quiet good shower. Steep entry to carpark at top of hill which is a challenge to maneuver around. Overall a very peasant stay. Plenty of food options available nearby, but crossing the road doesn't feel safe.

Check-in was easy and friendly. Room was spacious and clean. All good. But The shower dripped ALL night, we tried several things to stop it, hence we barely slept. If you have a large car, do not stay here. Parking spaces were tiny and very awkward to get in & out of.

As we walked into the room it smelt refreshing and very clean. The shower roof was a bit mouldy though the mattress was comfortable and pillows too. Parking was. a bit small to drive in out though.

Shower was mouldy and the floor was very unsafe. Parking was a problem for a large 4 wheel drive, we couldn't pull in probably unable to get out of the front doors of our car. Room had a funny smell.

This motel is very close to restaurants and retail shops, and the room was spacious enough for four of us. My only issue is with the parking. I was unable to get into my allocated space as it's at an awkward angle and other cars blocked my way.

Overall nice even if a bit outdated. King size bed was hard as a rock but that’s probably more to personal preference. Rail in bathroom attached with those suction units fell down in the middle of the night…tried to reattach a couple of times but wouldn’t stay on. Staff are lovely, was a nice place to stay for a quick visit to town.

2 adults + 2 kids staying in a family room. Great value for money. Room decor was dated but clean so it still ticked all our boxes for a 2 night stay. Warm beds, free wifi with good signal, spacious room size, great location near Coles, awesome shower water pressure and fluffy new towels. For the priced we paid I was pleasantly surprised at quality. Customer service by front reception desk when we called to see if we could check in earlier was greatly appreciated. Happy to stay again next time we are in Ballarat !
