Beautifully preserved and maintained, with exception to the carpet in the lift, which has seen some rough days with lughgage. Our room felt like a bit of a dud, way at the back of the hotel with a brick wall and roof view. Incredibly comfortable room and bed though. Could do with plugs easier to find, rather than behind bed at skirting level, but historic hotel so allowances made. Wonderful welcoming staff. A gorgeous place to stay. ##### Roz Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate 4 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room was clean and bathroom too ##### Kate Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debbie 17 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel was beautifully renovated with many original fittings. It is in a great location for shopping and dining, with all the major stores within walking distance. The staff were very nice and replied promptly to some questions I had before check in. I was only there overnight and didn't get up in time for breakfast but the menu looked great. My only very minor negative comment would be that the bed was very creaky. I would definitely stay there again next time I visit Ballarat. ##### Debbie Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angelique 5 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice room that suited my needs ##### Angelique Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Phil 19 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Warm, quiet rooms, friendly staff! ##### Phil Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### GREG 16 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lovely place to stay. Although I didn't eat there, the areas looked clean and inviting. Room was clean and sheets sharp and clean. Everything for a sales rep would want for a good nights accommodation. ##### GREG Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Chen 31 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Good hygiene for this old historical building. Very convinient location. Tv remote control can only channel down not up. Other than cups and glasses, cannot find anything else, called reception, no one bothered to answer the call. ##### Chen Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine Grace 2 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A wonderful old hotel, retaining the atmosphere of its glory days, but with modern amenities and a good restaurant. ##### Catherine Grace Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Helen 8 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location / ambiance / township/ restaurant ##### Helen Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicholas 1 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Historical and renovated tastefully. ##### Nicholas Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Margaret 14 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Single bed creaked and the room was too warm.

A bit tired in some areas. House keeping staff were very helpful and friendly. Assistant manager was excellent. Very professional and friendly, thank you Linc. Great location in central Ballarat. We walked everywhere. Breakfast was most enjoyable, nice dining room. Prompt friendly service from the waitress. Some rooms are very small, so be aware of this when booking. ![Lounge bar.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0f64eabd-eeb3-4b46-be5c-9df5b244a117-1761208906166.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Many stairs, but there is a great old elevator.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/21a4ba86-d103-4aec-8bb7-338db78f1b42-1761208906142.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Raewyn Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen 2 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean and comfortable, convenient to the city centre, interesting history nicely preserved ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Donna 4 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautifully decorated in old world style.

Beautiful old building with an old style lift! I think the hotel was lovely. It could do with a few updates like thread bare carpet on stairs and more accessible plugs bedside. Note that there are attached pokies which kind of change the heritage vibe. Staff are nice and friendly. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ace60a1a-7c5d-4b70-80b3-83766bb4445b-1756537768905.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c5e04d20-d8c8-4943-b6aa-ac5f8fea0889-1756537770031.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Briana Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Rubi 30 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great place and added bonus we got a free room upgrade! ##### Rubi Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Bronte-an absolute beachfront property- recently upgraded](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Bronte-An-Absolute-Beachfront-Property.h22823711.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels near Branksome Chine Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Branksome-Chine-Beach-Hotels.0-l553248635978573333-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Melbourne City Apartment Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Adina-Apartment-Hotel-West-Melbourne.h49245786.Hotel-Information) > - [Nomads St Kilda Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Base-Backpackers-Melbourne-Hostel.h1690276.Hotel-Information) > - [The Sebel Melbourne Docklands Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-The-Sebel-Melbourne-Docklands.h6819425.Hotel-Information) > - [Veriu Queen Victoria Market](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Veriu-Queen-Victoria-Market.h88838086.Hotel-Information) > - [Aussie Escape Apartments - Skyline Collins Tower](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Urban-Modern-Apartments.h18340801.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Chadstone Melbourne MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Hotel-Chadstone-Melbourne.h33764279.Hotel-Information) > - [VOI Marsa Siclà Essentia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scicli-Hotels-VOI-Marsa-Sicla-Resort.h3748979.Hotel-Information) > - [Thotalagala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haputale-Hotels-Thotalagala.h35771158.Hotel-Information) > - [Lancemore Crossley St Melbourne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Lancemore-Crossley-St.h45716692.Hotel-Information) > - [Crown Promenade Melbourne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Crown-Promenade.h2858735.Hotel-Information) > - [Dorsett Melbourne ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Dorsett-Melbourne.h89699120.Hotel-Information) > - [St Kilda Accommodation - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-St-Kilda-Accommodation.h43007149.Hotel-Information) > - [Comfort Apartments Royal Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Royal-Gardens.h425401.Hotel-Information) > - [Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lyndhurst-Hotels-Forest-Lodge.h116027.Hotel-Information) > - [The Motley Hotel Richmond, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-The-Motley-Hotel-Richmond.h89155523.Hotel-Information) > - [Adelphi Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Adelphi-Hotel.h43731.Hotel-Information) > - [Park Inn By Radisson Melbourne Carlton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Carlton-Hotel.h40162080.Hotel-Information) > - [Lanson Place Parliament Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Lanson-Place-Parliament-Gardens.h103799356.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels near Adelphi Theatre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Adelphi-Theatre-Hotels.0-l553248621532493791-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > - [Flights from London (LON-All Airports) to Sarajevo (SJJ-Sarajevo Intl.)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lon/sjj/london-to-sarajevo) > - [Flights from Mumbai (BOM) to Marmagao (GOI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bom/goi/mumbai-to-goa) ### Packages ### General > - [Visit Hainault](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hainault.dx553248623140437119) > - [Visit Toledo City Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Toledo-Toledo-City-Center.dx553248633937781395) ---
