Bright Velo

Well equipped small room, including coffee machine. All in good condition. Disappoin**ents 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 :)

Bright Velo was perfect for our short MTB trip as a family. Great location right in town and easy ride to Mystic shuttles. Very clean with ample amenities and storage. Naomi was very welcoming on arrival and directed us to our room. Other staff on site very pleasant and helpful also. Little bit of noise from the outdoor bar area outside our 2 bed apar**ent from 4pm but it dies down really early and it didn’t really affect us at all as we were so tired from our days riding Mystic. The laundry, secure bike room and wash area were incredibly handy.

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”

Amazing place, accommodation over delivered and the food was sensational Thank you

Nice and clean rooms with all the basic need's , room was a bit noise ,but the beds are really comfortable and great bedding in the rooms .Really friendly staff, great bar experience with the nice beers from the area! A really recommend for place for stay!

This was our third stay at the Velo and just as exceptional as our previous stays. We had two rooms in the Mystic Wing which seemed to have had a recent update. The rooms were scrupulosly clean,with plenty of towels. Beds were super comforable and again super clean.Check in instructions were clear and sent well ahead of our arrival. You are but a short stroll from everything the town of Bright has to offer. Great parking. On the morning of check out we met the most delightful housekeeper who happily showed us around the newly refurbrished areas of the hotel. Attention to detail was very luxe but warm and inviting. Previously we had stayed upstairs in the main building which has been extensively renovated so we are aware as to how the Velo had previously looked. Have also stayed in a two bedroom apar**ent. Central to everything and pleasing to see the amazing upgrades and development of this quintessential Victoria hotel. Looking forward to our next stay!

The room was perfect, close to everything and clean. Staff were great with any questions..we so enjoyed our stay while riding the bike trails.They even had a room to lock up our bikes so handy
