Guest Reviews

• Verified traveler (8/5): Awesome vibes, loud rooms - Such an interesting hotel, art deco style and history is fascinating. Comfortable beds and great check in experience. No soap in bathrooms and shower is often lukewarm. Can hear other rooms very clearly, so if another room is talking loudly or having a late night party you will hear every bit of it. The staff (Deano) were amazing and when I called to complain about another room having a party at 3am, they immediately picked up the phone and sorted it. Highly recommend staying here for the history, location, and vibe. Bring your own soap and ear plugs if you're a light sleeper.
• Peter (8/5): - The Manager did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. Wonderful environment.
• Terri (10/5): - This property was just so enchanting because of the history that surrounds it. The bed was comfortable, the shower and water was strong and hot. We enjoyed our stay, and we must say that, Deano was a very attentive host. I would recommend the Nurses Quarters to all who are thinking of staying in the area.
• Brady (4/5): - It wasn’t my ideal place was nothing like the pictures
• Linda (8/5): - Lovely large room with unique fun decor. In a quiet and beautiful setting, walking distance from town for dinner. Good value.
• Muhammad (6/5): - Stay was okay but vibes of the motel and the area around was pretty spooky as if it is haunted. Later I discovered an ancient asylum hospital few meters away which was famous for some ghost/paranormal discovery trips.
• Ken (10/5): - Very spacious room with character
• Andy (8/5): - Peaceful Harmonious Great to listen to all the cockies and other birds waking up in the morning Great Chinese restaurant in Town 11out of 10 for Deano the manager. Looks rough as guts, but bends over backwards to accommodate ALL your wants and needs
• Steve (2/5): - Worn out uncared for monastic style accomodation with no services… forget it.
• Caroline (8/5): - I chose to stay at Linaker Nurse’s Quarters because I was intrigued by how they have set this up as a motel. Motel guests definitely step back in time as they enter through to the foyer. The room was spacious with separate bathroom and living area which is modestly furnished, but this would have been reminiscent to the era. Microwave, toaster, kettle and TV are all clean and worked well. Tes/coffee/milk etc provided. Bathroom had a great shower and decor was befitting the era as well. Basic supplies were provided which was great as hubby forgot his toothbrush. The bedroom boasted a very comfortable bed which was great after a long days driving. Other than the bed, there were no modern additions to this room and the large wardrobe was sizeable enough to fit your clothes, suitcases and picnic basket if you have one. The communal lounge is photo worthy and all that was missing was that the reception staff were not dressed to reflect the former use of this site. That would have been great. For meals, it was a short stroll or even shorter drive back into town for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Overall this was affordable accommodation for anyone on a budget, it was quirky, we felt safe and had a great nights sleep.
• klaus (10/5): - It was our first time at Linaker‘s and we enjoyed very much; we will return for sure
• Peter (6/5): - Clean and quiet, but some minor things made it feel very 'budget' - no milk in fridge, some cheap plastic fittings in bathroom, etc.
• Christine (10/5): - The manager was definitely out there but he was so accommodating and couldn't do enough for us even when he had so much to do. Lovely olde world property. The only criticism I have is the car park has small spots and it seems that people from a nearby business are using it therefore sometimes the carpark was full.
• Nick (10/5): - The most important thing about this property is simply that it is based within an historic mental asylum precinct, so it's kind of fun. (I took my teenage kids). This building is art deco style and very well kept, but includes thick metal doors in The Shining-style corridors, which can still be opened and closed and bolted, and would once have been used for the protection of staff. The asylum precinct is large and various buildings have been similarly repurposed and the grounds and gardens are very beautiful and well-maintained. There are several themed activities including a ghost tour and escape room available, though not on the night we were there. This particular place didn't offer any meals but was otherwise comfortable and the reception guy had plenty of personality. Just up the hill from the incredibly preserved gold rush town of Beechworth, all amenities are available including various dining options, shopping, etc.
• Kylie (8/5): - Place was def quirky and comfortable
• Steve (8/5): - The building had character.
• Daniel (10/5): - I thought this hotel very good for the price. Not luxurious, but the price is low so I don't expect that. The one fault is that the mattress in my room was lumpy, not good at all. With a better mattress it would be ideal for the price.
• Jill (10/5): - Quiet clean but terrible mattress on bed.
• Kath (8/5): - Private, safe and pretty comfortable, spacious private bathroom , lovely grounds with beautiful trees.
• John W (10/5): - Wonderful heritage building in spacious grounds conveniently located.
• Ben (6/5): - Very basic accommodation
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Lovely owner and welcoming. A bit run down of the building. Clean laundry bags seen all in front desk. Easy access to room. Enter room and hallway of our level room floor not cleaned. Fly screen was broken and not safe for a child. Bathroom cleaned and enough of what we needed for a night. A bit disappointed for the amount we paid for.
• Janet (6/5): - Clean, comfortable but run-down.
• Susan (8/5): - The heating wasn't terribly effective but everything else was great.
• Peter (6/5): - Overall disappointing. Arrived to a less than clean, very basic room, that was freezing cold, with not even the simple electric wall heater turned on, when atleast the lowest setting, would have made entering the room more appealing from the cool/ cold hallway. No heating in the old basic bathroom. After choosing this accommodation, due to the old art deco style building, rather than an old basic styled similar priced motel room in Beechworth, we would now make the other choice. Hopefully it improves, there’s plenty of room for it. Budget option for some !
• Richard (8/5): The Shining lives. - We have stayed here before and enjoy “ The Shining” experience walking down the long passage. Everything appears as an Art Deco place. Easy to get around in the area, and a very lovely walk into town for meals. It is quiet and you get woken to the sounds of birds. The conceive is a nice friendly person and helpful. Loved the place and will be back.
• Kath (10/5): - We loved the atmosphere of the property. It was so well looked after, clean and athentic. The manager, Dean, was welcoming and couldn't do enough to help us. We will be back again, and looking forward to it. The building was a stones throw from the asylum for the evening activites which made for a great combo.
• Scott (8/5): - Clean and comfortable rooms in an interesting building. The rooms are a bit dated and do need a bit of a refresh but they have everything you need.
• Ian (8/5): - The old nursing home is a great example of art deco building and pleased to see that has been repurposed as accommodaiton for travellers. Is basic in what it offers - that said our room was clean, the beds super comfy and it is an convenient walk from town.
• Rohan (10/5): - The owners are lovely people always willing to help in any way.
• Romeo (6/5): - Very dated accomodation but clean….not worth the almost $200 to stay here though…probably because accomodation was scarce I suspect! A lot of creaking noises from the floor above made sleeping difficult, especially after the ghost tour at the lunatic asylum!
• Simon (10/5): - Was a great stay, close to Beechworth Asylum, great atmosphere
• Stephen (8/5): - Lovely open grounds surround the old nurses quarters which have a dormitory type accommodation feel. Plenty of character and history with the building, and the staff also present as interesting characters. 'Deano' was friendly and very accommodating during our overnight stay. Room was a good size, and had a spacious bathroom with large shower. Some renovations and fresh paint would improve the place, but found it good value at the price.
• Donna (8/5): - The history and design were of interest to me
• Zoe (6/5): - The property needs a bit of TLC, new blinds and new mattresses. I understand its heritage but I feel that the fixtures and furniture weren’t heritage enough and were wrong in the public areas. The service was excellent and we did enjoy our stay.
• Melissa (8/5): - Amazing customer service from Deano! Not who I’d normally expect on a concierge desk, but wow! He’s got so much personality! He knows his job and does it well. The who venue looks a little haunted which was cool with the ghost tours of the asylum nearby. The place is neat and tidy. Happy to have stayed hear.
• Lesley (6/5): Restful stop over. - Our stay for one night was good. We like buildings with history and a story. This Art Deco building is just that. The rooms & bed are comfortable. Beechworth is a lovely town with plenty of options for coffee and eats.
• John W (10/5): - Wonderful heritage building enthusiastic helpful staff.
• David (10/5): - Love it so easy..
• John W (10/5): - Great location, great (heritage) building, great rooms. Minor glitches were remedied quickly and cheerfully. However the lack of Wifi in rooms needs attention.
• Vanessa (10/5): Great stay at the Linaker! - Loved our stay! Deano was an awesome host. Very friendly & accomodating. Wonderful historical building, beautifully maintained gardens. Great location.
• Louise (10/5): - We loved everything about the building, including the authentic art deco restoration, the relaxed vibe, the beautiful grounds and the short drive from Linaker into town which each time provided a gorgeous view of the centre of town. The manager Dean was professional, helpful and thoughtful and all in all, a real treasure.
• Peter (10/5): - Great position and very pretty part of town
• Jeff (4/5): - Quite old and outdated. Heating was poor TV didn’t work
• Amanda (10/5): - Charming art deco place, spacious room and lovely surrounds. Would definitely stay there again.
• Alastair (6/5): - Evidently once quite a grand property. However, it now might be reasonably described as a faded gem, well in need of a tart up and some maintenance. The room was well appointed, of a decent size and comfortable, but the curtains were coming off their tracks, there was mildew high up in one of the windows and the whole place felt a bit last its best-by date. Sad, really; it could’ve been so much nicer.
• Michael (10/5): - The art deco style of the building was excellent, and the surrounding area was quiet and peaceful.
• John (10/5): - It is very quirky if you like art deco you will love it
• Mark (8/5): - Rooms are basic , but clean and comfortable . Bathrooms are great for people with mobility problems .
• Dave (10/5): - Perfect overnight stay.
• Joanne (8/5): - Beautiful location, easy parking, clean room and excellent bathroom. Probably best suited for quiet adult guests rather than children.
• Sally (10/5): - Was a plesent stay
• Anthony (10/5): - Dean at reception was very friendly and helpful.
• MARGARET (10/5): - Very much liked the two bedroom setup. The grounds are amazing as is the history of the site. It's walkable to the shops and lake. Staff were very friendly.
• Treacey (8/5): - Lovely peaceful property, very clean & comfortable. Definitely recommended.
• HENRY (2/5): - approx' 20 mins to check in Poor TV reception No radio No air-con No WiFi Wardrobes stuffed with old bits'pieces,bed-linen,etc Building obviously in early (very) stage of renovation
• Tristan (10/5): - Much nicer rooms than expected and at a great price for peak season!
• Megan (6/5): - The property on the outside was amazing but to charge the prices we paid it was very much a 2 standard of decor and the presentation was terrible. I found the front desk man wonderful full of character and very welcoming you just need to look at your pricing if you are not going to update the interals
