Mercure Bendigo Schaller

Thoroughly enjoyed my recent stay here. Loved the art work around, happy, relaxed vibe got as soon as I entered. Enjoyed seeing the morning rush of hospital staff etc coming in each morning for their coffees etc felt like a very happy, upbeat hotel. Nice having the reception in with the Cafe/restaurant area. Then in the evening it was very calm and relaxed atmosphere. Restaurant seated area used for eating or lounging in all day,with areas divided up for privacy, good design. I had medical appointments and found this location convenient, easy to find and in walking distance of the main city centre/parks (10-15min)and even closer to the Hospital and Lake. My Mum and I stayed in a room with two single beds and balcony, although the rooms are quite small they utilise the space well and were quiet at night. Had everything we needed,inc fridge, microwave, jug. Also found out can hire bikes for no extra charge. Staff were all friendly and attentive. Would definitely come back again.

Small room but very neat and tidy and has everything you need for a stay.

Very noisy place. Woken at 6am with 30+ mins of thumping and banging from floor above. Then trucks reversing and unloading directly below my window. Then having a coffee in the cafe downstairs and a staff member starts vacuuming the floor near the table! Had to check out early just get some peace and quiet.

If you like your hotel room to be smaller than a prison cell, then you've come to the right place. When booking it suggested a room + balcony - I thought great! Automatically assuming that a balcony meant something. The room was on the grd floor - balcony fits 1 person on it, and has a view of the dirt carpark. The room is functional, but not for 2 people. If you were travelling as 1 there's room to take 2 strides but that's about it. Recently stayed in Melb CBD for less than the cost of this - and it was larger, higher up, and better / more quality furnishings. I can't recommend this Mercure, will never stay here again. Oh, and coming in after a show at 1030pm, had to park a fair walk away which just added to the poor experience. On checkout, reception didn't ask us about where we'd parked at all - so we got to boom gate to exit, had to turn around and go back inside to get the pass out. Unimpressed all round!

A decent stay, a lot happening in the reception area, cool to see all the art work. Very small bathroom (especially the shower) and a smaller room then what i would’ve expected but all together a nice stay, staff were nice we were only there for 1 night. Nice and clean. Parking was insane but was full in the front and the back and then people were just parking anywhere they liked.

Mecure meets Ibis Styles/Budget. Carpark hard to deal with. Traffic noise all night. No fly screen door to balcony. We took biggest room ,, thank god, bathroom for one person at a time. No room service, hard being disabled. Overall good presentation, friendly staff, clean modern room. Remember it's small.

A lovely place to stay. Clean throughout, great staff, fun vibe. #smokers be aware. This property is on hospital grounds so if you have that filthy habit, as I do, it can be a stretch. Other than that, I absolutely recommend a stay here

The hotel is really comfortable, with a beautiful interior design that feels warm and inviting. The service on-site was friendly and helpful, and overall the stay was pleasant. The only downside was the difficulty reaching them by phone, I tried calling multiple times with no answer. It would be great if communication could be improved, but once we arrived, everything else was smooth and enjoyable.
