The hotel itself is a very nice old building with 14ft ceiling in the upper floors rooms. The lady at the front desk was extremely polite and helpful. Making sure that we had everything we needed in the room etc. Honestly it was WELL WORTH the price. The bed was a little firmer than what I am used to, but it was comfortable.

Convenient location. Bit tired looking and the foyer was smelly, but can't really complain given the price and location.

I liked very little. Broken venetian blind meant we were woken at 6.30am by sunlight glaring into our eyes. Room very small. Cheaply appointed. Overpriced. I expected more. Disappointed.

Everything was beautifully appointed. Bath plug too small for bath so it didn’t fill, continued to drain and be noisy through a relaxing bath.

The Ansonia on Lydiard is a very lovely boutique hotel. Our room was spacious, clean and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel has plenty of charm and Cameron was extremely helpful when we checked in & out. Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back again.

The only problem we had was the lack of free parking. Very annoying with 1 hour parking during business hours. City of Ballarat should provide Ansonia patrons with an exemption code. We travel to Ballarat regularly and this is a barrier to us staying at Ansonia.

Wonderful property in central Ballarat, quiet and comfortable. Problem if you require a lift to 1st floor and difficult to get a park out front, also metered.

The thing that I liked the most was that it was safe and close to the shops, you only had to walk out the front door and about 100 meters and you were in the main shopping area and food area. The rooms were large ard clean. The only thing I didn't like was that there was no off street parking.

The property is conveniently located and parking isn't a problem provided you are out before 10am.....The parking inspectors can be a problem if you are staying a couple of days.
