5 star accommodation Bendigo CBD
Pros:

We were warmly welcomed back by David when we arrived as we have stayed before. Check in was effortless & David kindly helped us to our beautiful room which was much appreciated.
There is nothing to fault about staying here - the bed, the linen, the towels, the art, the products available to purchase are all wonderful.
Unfortunately we didn't have time to enjoy the spa but it looked very inviting!

Cons:

Classic, stylish, comfortable and well appointed.
Pros:

Hotel Ernest was fabulous, great location, walkable to shops and restaurants. The location is right next to a huge park and the hotel was very quiet despite the busy location. The beds were very very comfortable and the bathroom amenities were well considered. We will be staying here on Bendigo visits in future.

Definitely stay again
Pros:

Magnificent small hotel in the centre of Bendigo. Beautiful, comfortable rooms with a small bar and top shelf restaurant in the same building. Off street parking and a choice of small coffee spots within a 200m just adds further shine. Definitely stay again.

Cons:

Lovely accommodation in a great location.
Pros:

Beautifully appointed suites. Extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean.

Cons:

No lift in the building could be an issue, but we found the staff very accommodating, they carried our luggage from the car to our room on arrival and departure.
