Bairnsdale Town Central Motel

What guests think

Bairnsdale Town Central Motel is a budget, older-style property noted for a convenient town-centre setting that is generally quiet, while reviews also highlight dated rooms that tend to suit overnight stops more than extended visits.

Many guests found the rooms clean and comfortable for a budget stay, with basic amenities and good value. Service is widely described as friendly and helpful, though a few experienced closed reception or slow, confusing check-in when managers were away. Other recurring drawbacks include some small rooms, weak hot water or shower pressure, and occasional noise from neighbours. Expect a simple, affordable stopover rather than a polished, long-stay base.

Apparently, the Owners/Management, were away. Their ‘Neighbour’ checked us in; slow service, and we had difficulty communicating in English, with them. Loud neighbours, on both sides of our Room. Zero spare toilet roll, and zero box of tissues (even as a back up to the toilet roll). Reception was not ‘open’ all weekend. Potted plants outside the rooms, are dead. We will not be staying at this property, again.

Although an older style motel it was clean & tidy. The grounds where well maintained. The young manager was friendly.

Wir wurden freundlich begrüßt und haben das Zimmer 1 bekommen. Dieses Zimmer liegt in einer vorderen Ecke des Motels. Vor unserem Zimmer wurden in der Ecke Kinderfahrräder und Spielzeuge geparkt, daher war es immer recht laut. Durch die Ecklage schien wenig Tageslicht ins Zimmer. Die Betten hatten Heizmatratzen, das war sehr schön. Allerdings waren auf einer Fernbedienung und am angrenzenden Nachttisch viele rote Spritzer. Könnte Rotwein gewesen sein und wurde nicht gesäubert. Das Bad war ok, allerdings war der Boden der Dusche stark verkalkt. Die Betten waren bequem und es gab einen Kühlschrank und eine Mikrowelle. Für eine Nacht auf der Durchreise kann man da übernachten, länger würde ich dort nicht bleiben.

If you just want somewhere to sleep for the night that is no fuss, comfortable enough, clean and a budget price, this motel fits the bill. Nothing to write home about but is one street back from the main road, in walking distance to the pub and cafe’s, it hit the mark for our overnight stay.
