The Riversleigh, Bairnsdale

The hotel is located close to a variety of dining options and shops, offering a serene atmosphere with picturesque Victorian tea room vibes. The rooms, while small and slightly stuffy, come with a cozy bed, necessary toiletries, a dressing gown, and a selection of tea and coffee. The service is attentive and accommodating, with helpful staff going above and beyond, although there were occasional moments of rudeness. Dining was described as delicious and satisfying, especially the continental breakfast served in a charming dining room overlooking lovely gardens. The location provides easy access to nearby eateries and a pleasant atmosphere reminiscent of a Victorian tea room.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with lovely linen and towels but could benefit from more lighting. The beds are extremely comfortable with showers boasting amazing water pressure. The service is very accommodating, welcoming, and helpful, meeting requests promptly. The location overlooks beautiful gardens and is walkable to nearby amenities. The dining experience, while pleasant in the dining room, lacks variety in options. Overall, a large and comfortable stay with a few minor improvements.
