Beautiful Hotel

Truly beautiful hotel. From the moment I arrived, the friendly staff welcomed me, check in was very easy and quick, then as this was my first visit the staff gave me a tour of the hotel ( originally a bank ) with a very interesting overview of the history of the bank and the hotel. Once in my room, it was beautifully set out with everything I needed and quality bedding, toiletries and facilities. Looking forward to my next visit to stay in this beautiful hotel.

Fabulous hotel

Fabulous hotel, and very comfortable. We were in appt 1 which is on the ground floor. My only criticism is that the reverse air conditioner was very noisy and the bathroom needed some kind of heating. Other than that it was a lovely hotel with a very nice obliging concierge.

Cold comfort

Overnight stop in chilly Bendigo. Unfortunately the heat pump stopped working. It was being fixed as we left. I love the location and colours of the room but a warning - our room required 36 steps to reach it on the top floor. There is no lift. The Ernest is head and shoulders above other accommodation in Bendigo

Very Ernest

Lovely to have a top of the range hotel in Bendigo that is so convenient to the city centre. Just a thought for anyone who struggles with stairs. There’s no lift to the upstairs rooms
