Mercure Bendigo Schaller

This hotel has some great advantages. It is right next door to the hospital (great for family visiting, patient recuperation, etc), and is a short (driving) distance to the town centre and restaurants and bars. Not walking distance. The hotel is filled with funky artwork from resident artist Marke Shaller. It will not be to everyones taste, but we thought it added interest and good talking points. Some will interpret it as an ego trip for Mark Shaller who treats the hotel as his own gallery and every artwork is for sale. Be not mistaken - lots of reviews have mentioned this - the rooms ARE QUITE SMALL. If you are looking for space and plenty of lounging spots, these rooms are not for you. If you are comfortable walking sideways up against the wall on one side of the bed, then go for it. Good for a single person working in town for a couple of days. Staff were very helpful and attentive. Food in the restaurant was quite good and staff were attentive. They need to look at better ventilation in the lounge/lobby/ reception area, as the smell of cooking pervades the area - right up to the lifts. Beds were quite comfortable.

Great place just walking distance to the city. Visited Bendigo for a short holiday and stayed in this lovely place with comfortable rooms. Clean and comfortable rooms with a quiet atmosphere, even though it’s closer to a main road. Had some nice breakfast from the hotel itself. Lovely!

Well appointed rooms very comfy bed.. good at pantry Cafe downstairs is bloody awesome.. staff in Cafe staff brilliant guy with hat seem to do everything

Was able to check in early after M. organised it as I was having an online meeting. Excellent appreciation for my needs and I can't thank enough as it was a critical meeting. Thank you for your professionalism and personal service.

The room was smaller than expected, however, very clean and had everything we needed. The cafe at the reception areas was cozy. The location was very convenient with and with parking spaces. Overall, a very good place to stay and good value of money.

Cozy, clean and stylish rooms. Perfect for one person, maybe a little squishy for 2. The concierge staff are super lovely and the cafe has nice coffee.

The room even though a little small was lovely and clean. The staff were extremely helpful. Our breakfast was delicious and affordable. As regular visitors to Bendigo we will definitely be staying there again.

Have stayed here several times and always find it pleasurable. Location is great for walking into town for a meal or going for a run along the many pathways or around the lake. Staff are always very friendly and the coffee and food is pretty good and reasonably priced.
