Comfortable accommodation with great hosts. Great place to kick back with a nice wine or coffee amidst cycling memoirs. More

Great value accommodation. Very warm & friendly hosts Susan & Wayne made our stay memorable. Lovely cafe with log stove filled with cycling memorabilia with great coffee & homemade fare. Also excellent Indian restaurant next door. Our 4 night stay provided an excellent base for day rides. More

Thanks Wayne and Susan for your very warm and welcoming personalities. My husband and I had spent our honeymoon at the Oriental 43 years ago! This month we had the opportunity to visit Bright again to see all the beautiful autumn leaves. We only had one night and stayed in a motel unit, although dated we were comfortable. What you... More

Been coming to Bright for many years. This was the our third stay at Bright Oriental Hotel/Cycle Inn. The previous hosts were not good but Wayne and Susan have turned this great accommodation place around. We were upgraded to the Heritage 4 room when we arrived and it was excellent. The room was great with good heating and very clean.... More

We were greeted by a nice woman who made us feel Welcome. The hotel is nice, but a far cry from a "boutique" hotel. The room itself is very outdated. Now I know there going for the oriental and antique look but to me and my partner it felt like the room hadn't been touched for 60 years. The heater... More

Hello Amy, We're sad to hear you didn't enjoy your stay with us. We wish you had given us the opportunity to help improve things while you were here. We agree that the "BOUTIQUE HOTEL" tag is a misnomer and are endeavouring to change this label via TripAdvisor as we correspond. Over the next few months we will be making... More

We spend 2 nights at Bright Oriental which has a strategic location within the town. While I was fully aware of the 'small' room label, it still came as a surprise to us as to how minute the room is. There is no fridge or chair -- so sit on the bed. Be prepared to put all your luggages on... More

Thanks for your feedback on Daisy's room. We appreciate it. Some people like to be able to stay in the old guest house and don't seem to mind the small room. Buit I take your point and we'll put the room on our Agenda for a meeting we're having next week. Thank you also for not blowing us out of... More

We stayed here At the Bright Oriental Hotel for two nights in April 2012. We were absolutely thrilled with the location and it got even better when we walked inside and were greeted by the friendliest staff we've come across in a very long time. We have travelled around the world and it's rare to find accomodation that offers a... More

Three of us had a very pleasant stay at The Bright Oriental Hotel over Easter. The hosts and staff were very pleasant, helpful and friendly. Our rooms were in the historical old hotel and were decorated in tune with the times (except that we had lovely and very functional ensuites which I am sure the Victorians would have enjoyed immensely)....

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. Also, glad you enjoyed Cafe Velo and breakfast. Over the next few months we'll be making some improvements to what's on offer in the old guest house and hope that next time you'll enjoy it even more. Warm regards, Susan & Wayne Hosts More

Early this week we rode from Beechworth to Bright to celebrate a milestone birthday for my husband. In all there were 25 extended family members, of various ages. Our final stop found us in Bright's little bit of heaven, the Oriental Hotel. The accommodation we enjoyed here was perfect for the occasion...the units and rooms that were allocated to our... More
