Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
While the property was clean, the surrounds were under construction. Despite images depicting access to a television, there wasn't any in the room. They did offer WIFI which was at a decent speed.
A beautiful quirky old building. Love the common area. Never saw our hosts. Would be great if there was secure / dry bike parking. Bathrooms are quite dated and could do with hooks / shelf within them for cloths.
My home away from home! I try and visit 2 - 3 times a year. Either solo or with my partner, I wouldn't stay anywhere else. The best location in town, yet just off the main drag and quiet. The Priory is a historic gem and a comfortable, friendly and generous place to stay.
The shared facilities are kept immaculate and are so numerous that you will feel like they are your own private bathrooms most of the time. The family and staff are wonderful and should be congratulated and thanked for maintaining this treasure of Beechworth!

this is backpacker
Nun's habits should have been issued
Room was tiny hot and full of bees and wasps!
A bed was squeezed in with little else
A rip off and not recommended.
Very disappointed
Firstly, on arrival I was given an envelope with 2 keys for 2 different rooms (3 and 4) when in fact as a solo traveler I only requested one room.Reported immediately to the manager who apologised and told me to stay in Room 3.
Secondly, checked my Mastercard and found 2 equal charges of $89.77. First one by Expedia and the second by Hotels.combined a few days later???.
Looks like I’ve been double charged for the same transaction.
Thirdly, I hope to get a feed back from Hotels.combined soon with a solution as I have already informed Westpac Mastercard about disputing that transaction.
Looking forward to to hearing from you

Nothing in particular. From past experience vowed never to stay in a tent now never to stay in priory. Didn't see a member of staff whole time

Liked: Cleanliness
Very basic accommodation. Our room was tiny, without cupboard space, but okay for a single night stay. Shared bathrooms are clean and spacious, but would be frightfully cold in winter. The building, formerly a nun's convent and boarding school, has many curious features from a bygone era.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Beautiful old building, host was lovely. Make sure you book a room with en-suite as the shared facilities are just… breakfast room could be lovely but it felt like a dark dungeon or a school camp kitchen. Should be listed as hostel style accommodation. Great location and cheap so if all you need is a bed it’s a great.
The Priory was pretty much as expected. A little run down but nothing too bad. There are no check-in/reception staff - but everything is left ready for you. The bathrooms and room were clean but I would have benefitted from a mirror in the room so I wasn't hogging the bathroom doing my hair etc. however there didn't seem to be anyone waiting for a bathroom at any time.
