We went to have lunch at the Shamrock and it was terrible. We were looked upon like lepers when we asked for mustard with our steaks from the menu and we were told that they don't have mustard of any sort They forgot a meal out of four people The service was terrible - took a long time to get...

The Shamrock Hotel in Bendigo rests very much on its historical laurels. It had a renovation some years back. However, the rooms are still small and without double glazing so the rooms can be noisy. It is decidely still old style with couches and chairs in the corridors and open areas. There are however interesting photographs. The heating does not... More

Travelling by train to Bendigo the hotel is handy to the Station and close to the Gallery and of course the shops. I didn't realise there were so few rooms - about 28 I think - as it looks from the outside to have so many more. I too enjoyed the old photos around the hotel. I was also in... More

We came here as a party of five to attend the Grace Kelly exhibition. The hotel is a grand Victorian style on the exterior with a wide lacework iron verandah, high ceilings, tessellated tiles on the entrance and grand ceilings throughout. As the only couple within the party, our room (212) looked onto the fire escape so no great view... More

Apart from the setting and view from the verandah where they serve the hight tea there was nothing to recommend this experience. We went the first WE in April after visiting the Grace Kelly Exhibition at the Art Gallery and the Shamrock service was laughable, the waiter supercilious in the extreme. The selection was mixed quality but meagre in quantity... More

Old world rooms but with all modern comforts. Very clean. Excellent food in both dining areas with great prices. Thank you all but one suggestion receptionists should smile. We will be back. More

Had a great stay here recently. Nicely appointed rooms, delicious food and friendly staff within a building of great character right in the heart of elegant Bendigo. More

We had an excellent very large room - clean,good view+ double glazed windows.But cooked breakfasts were far too big and a waste of produce + therefore- profit! Perhaps if more than half of the serves didn't go into a rubbish bin, the cost saving could be put to better use by keeping the fresh fruit platter topped up for the... More

Stepped in for breakfast on a bleak morning and my wife and I both looked forward to the pancakes option on the menu, so we were disappointed when we were each served with a single pancake - for $12.50 per pancake! Advising the waiter that the menu stated "pancakes" (plural) only elicited an "oh". We left still hungry. Next morning,... More
