What guests think

At Cathedral Motor Inn, travellers highlight a central, walkable location near Bendigo’s key sights, very clean rooms, and welcoming staff, while some note dated decor, traffic noise in road‑facing rooms, and occasional Wi‑Fi outages.

Many describe rooms as spacious and comfortable, with effective heating and electric blankets appreciated in colder months. On-site dining feels limited, with continental breakfast noted and cooked options not consistently available or seen as pricey by some. Overall, expect a straightforward motel stay.

Nice clean room with spa. Very comfortable bed. All the basics, nothing fancy. Very nice bathroom. Only downside was the carpet was wet in the corner next to the spa when we arrived. The road which our room fronted was very noisy.

Convenient to shops and cafes. A bit of traffic noise and room was quite dated. Split system wasn’t working so was replaced with a portable heater, which was not as effective. Spacious room and comfortable bed.

As a former “hotel housekeeper” I can say my room was the cleanest I’ve ever stayed in. I always check around the “s” bend on the toilet and for dust on top of PowerPoints. Nothing😁 well done Cathedral Motel. The staff were all very friendly too.
