National Hotel Complex Bendigo

Stayed here many times and never disappoints, Good bar and bistro, close to town centre without being too close. Pool always clean and gardens neat.

It was a little too cold for the pool, but the SPA hit the spot for the kids and they loved it, visited it 3 nights in a row. Nice and central location close to everything and just a walk across the road to the Central Deborah Gold Mine which is a must. Staff extremely friendly and head of house has a very good sense of humour and makes you feel welcome. 10 out of 10.

The place was very clean and hotel staff was super friendly and accomidating. The pool wasn't kept up very well with leaves and bugs,dirt and such. The hot tub was also out of order which was one of the reasons we wanted to stay there was to enjoy the soak after a long day of being out.

Great apartment with double garage.Good location. Nice pool although could do with a paint. Food was good in the bistro. Would definitely stay again.

Plus - Good Bistro meal was delivered to our 'Apartment on High' unit (nextdoor to the hotel). Minus - Only disappointment was that our 2 bedroom upstairs apartment was over a garage that we didn't have access to & our parking was in the general hotel carpark away from our unit.

The staff were really lovely and friendly. The room was great. Getting up the stairs with two really heavy suitcases was a little difficult but we coped. Having the bistro right next door was super convenient. Also having access to a laundry was just brilliant as we had already been away from home for well over a week and really needed to do some washing. The gentleman behind the desk was really helpful, even changing some notes into coins so we could use the machines. Would stay again but if we had big suitcases we would ask for a downstairs unit now that we know that there are stairs.

Comfortable, well-appointed room. Restaurant and bar on site, easy walk to breakfast option

Clean rooms and comfortable bed. Off-street parking and a short distance to CBD in Bendigo.

Fantastic location. The room was a great size. The check in and out procedure was easy. The free parking was great.

The National motel was nice looking with modern bathroom and some updates to bedroom, but the bed was hard!! Checked out the mattress and it was one of those commercial mattresses with no comfort layer on it all. This made it very uncomfortable. We tried the pool and that wasn’t heated, but as it was a hot day, that was refreshing. However, the spa was closed and from reading the sign, had been out of action for a while. Would have been nice to be told of this when booking or even checking in as would have stayed elsewhere as we were looking forward to a relaxing spa. On check in, I was asked did I want some milk for a cuppa? Why wasn’t it already in the room? And a sign in the room saying that due to COVID, they no longer service rooms daily. Boy, if we were staying longer than the nigh, I would have wanted the room serviced for the price. But the worst was the TV which had constant pixelation and made it impossible to use. As it wasn’t a smart TV, that made it unusable. I honestly would have to look elsewhere to stay next time from this experience.

We stayed for 3 nights, the room was nice however there was no room service at all, no top up of tea coffee tissues etc. no emptying of bins. They supplied kettle, toaster, microwave, crockery and cutlery however nothing to wash them and as we didn't know that there would be no room service we couldn't wash them properly. We were out all day and got back late at night and reception was closed. In the room service book it said that service was every second day so we assumed on the second day that the room would be serviced. Our suggestion is to advise people on arrival that there is no room service and to supply dishwashing liquid if service is not daily.

Staff, clean room

Thr property has obviously been renovated at some stage. There were marks on walls and water damage to the bathroom door. The room was clean. It was attached to the hotel and also provided room service. We did find the motel a little noisy. The neighbours were very noisy to late at night and also early in the morning. It would also have been great to have the room serviced.

No breakfast and no service unless requested. There for three nights so the room was a little tacky when we lest. The motel is connected to the National Hotel so it was handy for dinner.

My family had a truly wonderful stay. The pool was clean, bathroom was spotless. Great shower pressure and super comfy pillows and mattress.

Room 14, when it rains water drips into the room and onto the carpet through the screws holding up the window curtain. And supplied hair dryer in bathroom failed to work. Apart from that ,was a great stay. Looking forward to coming back again.

Entire property seemed to be spotlessly clean. Staff are extremely good and catered for our special needs without any problems. We stay there every year when we are in Bendigo and will continue to do so. Highly recommended .

Walls were very grubby

It would be nice if they serviced the room. Stayed three nights and nothing.

Very clean, large room, some many areas to relax in would stay here again and there food is amazing

Comfortable room, lacking in power points near bedsides for electronic devices but great strength wifi. Connected to popular bistro. Stay was only ruined by group staying in neighbouring roomed that partied until 1:00 am.

The room was lovely, but the beds were too hard.

The studio room that we rented is slightly outside the main building. Unfortunately, wi-fi did not reach so far and there was no extender, so we could not use it in the flat. Pity! Also, the picture of the studio seems to indicate that there is a balcony, which there is not. Finally, the kitchenette does not include a cooking facility, except the micro-wave. The swimming pool area is nice (not big, but nice).

The apartment was modern and well equipped. The motel is in a great location opposite the gold mine and talking tram terminus. The only issues were first that the bedroom was very dark. The only "windows" are skylights, which had closed blinds with no way to open them. Second, the apartment is the lower floor of a townhouse and the noise insulation from the upper floor is poor. We hear loud clomping noises as the guests in the other apartment walked around.

If you're only staying for a night or two this place is great. The rooms were clean and good quality. The staff are nice and it's close to everything you could need. However, I wouldn't recommend for longer stays as it's not at all sound proof. You'll hear every flush of every toilet in the rooms above and next to you, same with every door opening and tap being turned on. You'll hear every conversation of your neighbours and anyone out in the common areas. Your sleep will be minimal.

Plenty of room, everything you could need in your apartment. Enjoyed our stay.

Great position for walking into the cbd for dining options. Apartment new and clean with good washer dryer. Bistro meals good. Bed was terrible felt like sleeping on a rock. If you are in a downstairs apartment the noise from the apartments upstairs is nearly unbearable, every step or movement above is heard below. Cleaners were so noisy smashing the vacuum cleaner and banging up and down the stairs, cleaning started in empty apartments from just after 8am. Double check small print as one bedroom apartment only has a microwave, kettle and toaster and states that cooking is not permitted even though it says Kitchenette, therefore you are more likely to use bistro. No BBQ facilities either. Not a restful stay at all!

The apartment was clean and spacious. Check-in was fine and the parking ample. Unfortunately we discovered we were situated directly on the very noisy main road and the apartment was dark. The family above us sounded like a herd of elephants a lot of the time. We were grateful for the washing machine and the bathroom was fine. The bed was very hard and I woke many times each night when my shoulder became painful. The lounge area was adequate. The kitchen had two plates, bowls, glasses and two items of each piece of cutlery. I felt like I spent the entire time at the sink. I had to use a decorative bowl to serve the salad. The freezer didn't work at all. Wouldn't even freeze ice. Our 1L ice cream leaked all over the freezer and we had no ice cream and then I spent half an hour cleaning up the spill. There was no small knife for serving cheese and biscuits, so I used a butter knife. There were no tongs, no scissors and no serving ware. The glad wrap supplied was a nice touch but was un-useable because the last guests ripped it up. Lucky I brought my pocket knife! I thought I was all prepared for no stove, but it was harder than I thought. I'll be glad to return to my own bed and get a good sleep. The location is great, but make sure you don't have the front apartment on the road. The cleaner was weird when we left - seemed to have entered our room while we were packing the car and then asked for the keys when I was carrying heavy items to the car park with a child in tow.

Wifi was terrible. Stopped working totally.

Room was very noisy, traffic noise all night

The people that worked there could not do enough a big shout out to keegan who was a rippa bloke in the bar that went over and above to help us we will never stay anywhere else Great please with great people

All the above and more. Hosts are so welcoming, like old friends. Have to thank Michael for a seamless booking. Late night arrival, absolute breeze, directives clear and concise. Did not need to second guess or have any concern. Spa after a long 6.5hr drive, was the best wind down. So glad we booked a RM with a spa. The recommendations for touristy stuff, very good and so knowledged. We felt rather excited and looking forward to experiencing everything Bendigo has to offer. We are very keen to return sooner than later.

The manager was beyond helpful. Definitely went the extra mile. Room was lovely, everything I could have needed or wanted. Price was very reasonable. I'll definitely stay with them again next time I'm in Bendigo.

Greeting at reception friendly. Hotel was perfect for what we needed for the weekend. Price was good. Room was very clean

Reception man was friendly and courteous on arrival. Room was clean with a balcony

We only stayed a night enroute to our final destination with a late night check in. Heaters were on when arrived, modern and clean. Staff were very helpful (thanks Michael) and place was spotless, beds comfortable. Perfect for our needs.

Spa closed with a note about poor behavior of prior guests. Quite ridiculous to be made to pay for other mistakes Also using rooms service was hard work. Missed drink off order when delivered the staff were no help when I rang they didn’t know what I was talking about. Rooms not like what was advertised

Very good customer service

Reception staff could be a bit happier or at least smile

Everything was great and staff were very friendly.

This property is very well presented. It very close to the Central Deboral tourist mine and the Bendigo Tram, so very convenient. Easy to take the tram during the day see a lot of the tourist sites and shopping, instead of trying to find parking. The unit itself was very comfortable, great kitchenette and lounge, dining area, comfortable bed and clean spacious bathroom. Very nice. The staff were uber friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend, an would stay again.

Clean room, close to everywhere.

Opposite the gold mine and the talking tram was very convenient and walking distance to Woolworths and take away food stores

Older style motel which was outdated and dark. Attached to a restaurant which served nice food. Close enough to walk into central Bendigo.

Location is good, close to Bendigo city centre, tourist tram & Deborah gold mine tours.

Great location and easily walkable into the CBD.

Large apartment was well priced. Location next to hotel was very convenient, where the pub meal was excellent quality. Close to center of town and Central Deborah Gold Mine tour.

Central Location was a bonus and the facilities were of first class order for Bendigo area -we also enjoyed the Friday night band -Night Movers -a great mix of 60s-70s songs and well done !

We have stayed at this Hotel numerous times and always have excellent time. Bistro is top notch, highly recommended. Hotel is only minutes from CBD, so handy.

Room was very noisy, traffic noise all night

We were just in town for two nights for a wedding and this property suited our needs and was good value. It was clean and the room was a decent size. The parking was easy and it wasn't too far from shops and cafes etc. The only downsides were they didn’t serve breakfast, the other guests were talking and slamming doors until after midnight, and the reception staff weren’t very friendly.

What a lovely place to stay, and so close to the heart of Bendigo. Room was clean, comfortable and everything it was advertised to be. The adjoining restaurant was amazing for the service and food. We would absolutely stay here again!

The food in room or in the bar/dining room is beautiful. The salt and pepper calamari and sticky date pudding are fabulous

Food is way above the standard fare we usually get

The things that let this property down for me were the uncomfortable lumpy mattress and food from the bistro which left me feeling ill for all the oil used. I wouldn’t recommend eating on site. We travelled with a pre-schooler so a room with a bath would have been a better fit for us. A very clean property.

No breakfast and no service unless requested. There for three nights so the room was a little tacky when we lest. The motel is connected to the National Hotel so it was handy for dinner.

Room was clean and had everything I needed. Staff were lovely. Food from the bistro was really good and catered very well to my dietary requirements. Will definitely stay again.
