Very smooth experience from check-in to the check-out. Conveniently located right next to the town centre and a great place to wake up with nice views. Cleanliness was well maintained. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, and I can't wait to be back in that area.

Communication prior to arrival was excellent with clear instructions for self checkin.
On arrival room was lovely & warm. Room was clean & comfortable. Not huge but all we needed . Bathroom huge & well presented. Towels soft & fluffy.
Bed was so comfortable . After. 10 hour drive it was wonderful & we slept well. Location is close to cafes & great Thai restuarant.
Only downfall are the stairs & having to carry the heavy bag for our age up them. However be aware & do not let this detract if you cna do stairs

Only one light switch!
The room didn't have a bedside table and there was only one overhead light and one light switch, by the door. So I had to get out of bed to turn off the light and return to the bed in the dark. Quite impersonal as it was self-check-in.

It was a great location with very good amenities. The only criticism is that a bedside lamp would be great for night time reading. Definitely 9 out of 10.

Awesome property, but unfortunately the restaurant (Empire Dining) that is connected is permanently closed according to Google. Other than, it was a beautiful property and very clean with easy access. Also easy walking distance to surrounding restaurants and cafe's.

Well equipped small room, including coffee machine. All in good condition.
Disappointments included comically small wash basin with no space for toothbrushes/paste and other usual bathroom items (eg: shampoo), no platform in shower enclosure for soap etc, very cheap toilet paper requiring doubling of sheets to be usable, no toaster.

The property was conveniently located, had parking and a comfy bed. However for the price the room could be made better. Little things like a bedside lamp and shelving in the bathroom would’ve made for a more comfortable and convenient, instead of having to do things like have a shower in the tiny shower then walk in and out if the bathroom to access the rest of my toiletries as there was no where in the bathroom to put anything not even a bar of soap.

We frequent Bright at least twice a yearly, usually with our camper, but sometimes we use a motel and like alternate our choice so this is our first time staying at Velo. Tim was there to assist us with direction and code pad usage etc ... what a beautiful place to stay the room was not overly big but all the room we needed and renovated with the best choose of fixtures and the bathroom was devine, those tiles are stunning, thanks Hotel Velo you will be seeing us again :)

I was there for 10 days but wasn’t told at booking stage that the hotel and restaurant were closed for that period and beyond. So no food, no Bar etc.
The Manageress, Marielle, however, was outstanding. She helped and could not be faulted. The younger staff weren’t so good.
I’ve rated the overall experience as average, but Marielle as 5 star! Thanks Marielle for “saving the day”
