Craig's Royal Hotel

Ballarat Central|0.63km from city center
The hotel has a long history, and you can feel the special cultural atmosphere as soon as you enter it. The elevator door still needs to be opened and closed manually, like some shooting scenes in the movie. The night of the stay, the front desk brother was warm, the service was thoughtful, the explanation was very patient and detailed, and said that the design of our passports was cool, from the color of the cover to the design of the first page. The dinner was eaten at the restaurant on the first floor that night, and they recommended red curry fish, which tasted very good. The hotel room is clean and tidy, the single bed room is booked, the heating is comfortable, the bathroom has a hot towel rack, which is very comfortable.

Lake Wendouree Luxury Apartments

Lake Wendouree|1.35km from city center
Cons ...I chose this accommodation due to the pictures and facilities that were offered. I am most disappointed with not having a properly working gas heater in the apartment. I was expecting a log gas heater as stipulated but instead an old gas heater that has a fault in the filter and turns off. The other heater/cooler is not big enough for the floor space and took up to 3 hours to heat the room. As for the tiny heaters in the bedrooms that don't heat up anything. The bathroom lights/heat thing has one glob not working. The fan/light in the living room doesn't work. We tried as stated in the rules to turn it on. And yes we turned it on at the wall and tried the remote it came with. Motor needs repairing. As for complementary toiletries, four adults have to share one tiny shampoo and conditioner bottle and two small soaps for 3 nights. Lucky I took my own soap. One a 1/4 roll of loo paper as well. Not a big deal but for the amount paid, I should not have to bring my own loo paper. It took me so long to find cups, plates ect. That were spead out in diffrent cupboards. Put coffee cups in the cupboard above the kettle or even Maybe have them altogether to make it easier to find. I have stayed in some lovely places and unfortunately was very disappointed in this one for the price. This is a very expensive place to stay for very little. Coming from a warm climate to Ballarat and not being able to get warm is the most disappointing thing of all. No Netflix as stated, but a very old Austar set up. Lots of things on the facility page that definitely were not included. Perhaps state which apartment has what in your advertisement to help people make a choice. I thought they would all have the same amenities. At least the basics anyway. Paying almost $1000 for 3 nights I could have been in Palm cove for a week at Peppers Beach club. I might suggest to maybe put usb outlets in so travellers don't have to bring their own plugs. Pros... The only real positive thing was the main bed. Very comfortable and large. Was quite clean except the sheet wasn't on properly and wasn't folded under mattress as you would expect.

Eureka Stockade Holiday Park
4.1/580 Reviews

Eureka Stockade Holiday Park

Ballarat East|1.48km from city center
We were welcomed into the park and made our way to the cabin, first impressions certainly last. The holiday park is not like the pictures first up, so do your research before confirming a visit to see if it is something you are happy with. There was bits of our stairs missing and rubbish on the verandah (half a dozen open sugar packets and a toy of some sort) - also, an ashtray. For a family unit, a non smoking one, who has ashtrays anymore? It was dirty too, something to keep the toddler away from. Upon entry the cabin was suitable, neat, clean and tidy and suitable for our needs. The room with two bunks in it was VERY small. If there really was FOUR children in there, they would kill each other after a night or two. Upon further inspection, the cleaners really ignored a significant portion of the property. There were multiple lolly wrappers throughout, a pegged up chip packet in the wardrobe, empty chocolate milk bottle under the couch. NOTE: upon exit, we informed the staff and they said next time to tell them straight away and they will send the cleaners back, point taken, however it should never be in that state in the first place. TOILET: Missing a button and the pressure was terrible, it didnt flush everything down all the time.. (kinda ew). THE PARK: **The Park was smaller than first thought, felt a little old and dated and quite cramped but did the job for a few days. **Access to the swim centre next door was easy enough, just a quick walk and a show of your cabin key to enter (not sure what you would do if you had a site?) **The games room - as many people have said, a lot was broken and didnt work. The kids still had fun playing pretend however. **No coffee machine, - everywhere advertised the coffee machine for use in the camp kitchen. This was $3 but displayed an error message on the screen. DEVESTATING. (well for me anyway). SUMMARY Ok for a few nights, check the room (if you have a cabin) is clean and provide feedback ASAP if you are not happy, staff seem happy to help. 3 Stars

Mercure Ballarat - Hotel & Convention Centre

Golden Point|0.61km from city center
It's two or three kilometers away from the city center. It's like a resort. There is a reception at the entrance. It takes three to five minutes to walk in. The cottage, the first-floor bungalows in the townhouse, and free parking next to it. It was enough for three people. It was not so crowded. The door was open outdoors. It was not the same as staying in a hotel. It was good. You could sit at the door and watch the stars. It felt quieter than the hotel and no neighbors disturbed. Close to Shufenshan Gold Mine Town. If you want to go out for dinner, you have to go outside the yard to find it. On the walk, you do n’t have to go out.

Ballarat Premier Apartments

Ballarat Central|0.12km from city center
We stayed in the Grand Room (No 1). The room was very big and had an inviting fire going when we arrived. We did arrive a little earlier than the check in time of 2.00pm and found parking was a bit of an issue. The car parks out the back were full (I assume with cleaning staff) and there were no staff on site. There was no parking out the front - a very busy church or school across the road. We had to park out on the main street and walk our bags around. We made a call on a mobile phone number we had and they organised a key quickly for us which allowed us into our room early. We went out and grabbed lunch and got back around 2.00pm and the car parks were starting to empty out by then and we were able to snag a car park straight out the front. Room was beautiful and full of character. Was very well appointed. If you have problems with stairs I would make sure I book a ground floor room. I couldn't see a lift and there were no staff on site to assist with bags.
Sovereign Hill Hotel
4.1/5100 Reviews

Sovereign Hill Hotel

Golden Point|0.5km from city center
The overall feeling is quite clean and simple, and the basics of living here are foreigners. The hotel has a private entrance to the gold rush park, you only need to brush the hotel room card can be very convenient, and there is no need to line up, a few steps away. However, the price is expensive. Fortunately, if you are tired, you can go back to the hotel at noon and take a break in the afternoon. There are not many types of breakfast available in the hotel, but you can have enough to eat. Watching the sound and light show at night, there will be a car to the private entrance back to the hotel. If you want to be cost-effective, it is convenient to drive to the nearest mecure hotel if you drive or walk for a while. A lot of hotels on the road for a long time.

The hotel is next to the town's Stuart Street, about a ten minute walk from the train station. The suite is large, the room is large, the air conditioner is also powerful, the room is equipped with a refrigerator, a microwave oven, a washing machine and a dryer. The large dining table is really powerful and can be filled with things. There is no breakfast at the hotel, but you can check out the food at the Golden City Hotel at the intersection.
Bakery Hill Motel

Bakery Hill Motel

Bakery Hill|0.01km from city center
This motel is on the edge of the city centre and close to restaurants, supermarkets and other amenities. The bed was very comfortable and a real large bed (not two single mattresses stuck together as many places seem to offer). Our room had a sofa, table and 2 chairs, small fridge, kettle, toaster, and tea/coffee making facilities. TV only offers free--to-air but that was not a problem for us. Very clean and easy check-in check-out. Off-street parking, good value all round.

Lake Inn - Ballarat

Ballarat Central|1.03km from city center
Stayed here for 3 nights in early November. Checked in and greeted by a lovely lady on reception who was very helpful and nice. Was in room number 1 (spa room.) The room was very clean and modern and although the room was close to the road, inside the room was very quiet and couldn’t hear cars or other guests and made for a relaxing stay. Only a 5 minute walk to the lake and a quick drive Into town. Had dinner at the adjoining hotel which was a very nice meal Would definitely recommend staying here and I would definitely stay here again when I’m next in Ballarat Thank you

I could not rate this hotel highly enough. My partner and I had booked this place to stay only months out from the Summer Salt Festival on the weekend just gone and struggling to find somewhere to stay with also the swap meet on, Melbourne Storm family pre-season game on at Mars Stadium and another event on we managed to stay here rather than the Ambassador down the road (due to being booked out) we had our friend who has a disability come along too and the staff were absolutely accommodating and even upgraded our room for us. The facilities were great (although we didn’t get to use them, most definitely will next time) through to the staff were nothing short of exceptional. Highly recommend, and the quality of rooms were great as well.

Sovereign Park Motor Inn

Golden Point|0.59km from city center
So many positive things to say about Sovereign Park but the 2 memorable standouts which will have us returning would have to be, the SERVICE and INDOOR HEATED POOL & SPA! The booking & check-in process were both so easy. Jen served us throughout our stay, she was immediately warm and welcoming. After checking out and having mentioned we were going to explore the Wildlife Park nearby, we had a call from Jen about some precious plush toys our daughter had left behind. She knew how important it was to get it back to us so she wasted no time in contacting us before we made our way back home. The family room was comfy & cosy, clean and included all the amenities needed. The kids had the best time in the pool, spa & sauna. Mummy even got some time to spend in the gym, nothing flashy but complete & practical. Thanks so much & keep up the great service. Location: Under 10 mins to Kryal Castle 4 mins to Ballarat Wildlife Park 2 mins to Coles/Baker's Delight 0 mins to Red Lion Hotel with kids playground (adjacent to Sovereign Park reception)

Seymours on Lydiard

Soldiers Hill|0.63km from city center
Stayed 4 nights in a superior suite. The room is 39sq m which is reasonably spacious given it has two double beds, a sofa, a small kitchen table with 4 chairs and a writing bench along one wall. It comes with the usual kitchen appliances, microwave, small cook top with oven and fridge. Tea and coffee sachets are provided. If self catering the food preparation area is quite limited as the appliances take up all the kitchen bench. There is a wall heater and an air conditioner. The beds were reasonably comfortable. There is no safe in the room. The room is comfortable enough although there is no balcony or windows that can be fully opened so unless the door is kept open fresh air is limited. The place is very convenient to downtown and the station. A stroll to downtown is around 10 minutes. One issue was the noise on the Friday night - whether it was noisy people in the next door pub or noisy Friday night guests away for the weekend I don't know but there were some rowdy types disturbing the peace. I'd stay here again but probably only during the week.

Comfort Inn & Suites City Views

Bakery Hill|0.15km from city center
So we stayed here for one night. We were wanting seperate rooms for kids and us, wanted a pool and/or spa bath. It has all. We had a family room. The staff were really friendly when booking, checking in, checking out and needing assistance. As soon as we checked it we wanted to jump in the pool (indoor heated pool) and saw it was covered up. We called to see if it was closed, and they said no they just like to limit it to one family at a time so he opened it up for us. It wasn't deep, appx 1.35m. It was warm clean. It had a few chairs and tables inside to leave your stuff. We were able to get pool towels from reception. It would have been good have a toilet in there, instead of having to go back to room (we were on top level). The room was clean and neat. TVs worked, air con worked which was great. Beds comfy. Had a desk, couch and dining table. Had a kettle, toaster and microwave with a mini bar fridge. Unfortunately no bowels, big plates or Cutlery. So it made things a little difficult. Didn't have a bench where you could do all that, just a cupboard where the kettle and all that were kept. We have a special needs child and her meals are very particular so having some space to make these would have been good. The bathroom was clean and big. The spa bath was big and comfortable. It was nice to relax in there. Maybe a small side table next to it would have been good. Overall it was a nice place to stay for a very reasonable price. I would stay here again.

Barkly Motorlodge

Bakery Hill|0.2km from city center
I can highly recommend Barkly Motorlodge in terms of the facilities they have for wheelchair access in Unit 17. It is well set up. Shower and toilet facilities are good. The room itself with the bathroom between the double bed and the single bed is ideal for carer/client. The noise of traffic at night from traffic was a little loud but that was my choice as I do not like sleeping in aircon preferring to open a window or two. Highly recommend the motel for its closeness to the main areas of the City and for its disabled facilities.

Avenue Motel

Alfredton|0.7km from city center
We booked two nights in this motel and I should have followed my gut on my initial encounter on reception. The Asian gentleman was not engaging and abrupt- it seemed we were an inconvenience to him. I was given the drill ie where to go for continental breakfast, put out sign for house keeping services and only one electronic pass key. According to my daughter, the expression on my face was priceless, as I entered the door and saw the room- it was an old room and not at all what I had expected. The beds were comfortable and linen clean. Electric blankets on bed and an extra blanket and pillow in the cupboard. So beds got a tick. It was obvious an attempt had been made to refurbish the room and bring it up to par- new toilet, hand basin, fridge, white goods (ie toaster, jug- Kmart), microwave and fridge, TV Aldi) fresh coat of paint and new lighting but no accessible light switches from the bed. Floor covering appeared new although it was obviously cheap. Even the laminated bench near the fridge was poor- the chip board was exposed and whoever installed needs to have a lesson in finishing things off properly. The shower head was supported- now listen to this one- pieces of bark in the hole in the wall. I had to stop and think was I in Ballarat or an outback motel in the NT? Next came the dining experience- quaintly referred to as continental breakfast. Rows of plastic containers with various cereals, all labled, the 3 'el cheapo' toasters and one electric jug on the bench and all connected to a power board that floated midway up the wall- OHS error there!!! Various juices in the fridge- expiry dates needed to be checked, and of course the old bread in the freezer trick. My 25yr old daughter just laughed and said 'Mum I am back in a school camp'- there was no tv in the area, just tables and chairs with artificial flowers placed in coffee mugs and some prints on the wall and signs saying cctv and ' Don't take any foodstuffs or kitchen wares to your room” {Motels owners words not mine}. Why have a toaster in your room if you can't grab some bread and little packets of jam and butter?? {Crockery and cutlery, all plastic was in the room- doesn't make sense to me} Piece of resistance was housekeeping- I dutifully put out my sign and 'lo and behold' on returning to room later in the day, sign was off door and I thought Oh that is good they have done the room- well they had sort of- fresh towels, some rubbish removed and get this- the king bed straightened up and no attempt to do the single bed. No attempt to wash used cups and glasses or clean out shower, hand basis etc. The shower base was not clean and there was grime and accumulated dust on the skirting boards and around all architraves, the paint job was so poor you could see the brush strokes and where he/she had completely missed areas, the grout was filthy. We paid $292 for two nights at this establishment and it was money poorly spent. The owners need to lift their game- doing things on the

Lake Wendouree|2.77km from HomeCo. Ballarat
Cons ...I chose this accommodation due to the pictures and facilities that were offered. I am most disappointed with not having a properly working gas heater in the apartment. I was expecting a log gas heater as stipulated but instead an old gas heater that has a fault in the filter and turns off. The other heater/cooler is not big enough for the floor space and took up to 3 hours to heat the room. As for the tiny heaters in the bedrooms that don't heat up anything. The bathroom lights/heat thing has one glob not working. The fan/light in the living room doesn't work. We tried as stated in the rules to turn it on. And yes we turned it on at the wall and tried the remote it came with. Motor needs repairing. As for complementary toiletries, four adults have to share one tiny shampoo and conditioner bottle and two small soaps for 3 nights. Lucky I took my own soap. One a 1/4 roll of loo paper as well. Not a big deal but for the amount paid, I should not have to bring my own loo paper. It took me so long to find cups, plates ect. That were spead out in diffrent cupboards. Put coffee cups in the cupboard above the kettle or even Maybe have them altogether to make it easier to find. I have stayed in some lovely places and unfortunately was very disappointed in this one for the price. This is a very expensive place to stay for very little. Coming from a warm climate to Ballarat and not being able to get warm is the most disappointing thing of all. No Netflix as stated, but a very old Austar set up. Lots of things on the facility page that definitely were not included. Perhaps state which apartment has what in your advertisement to help people make a choice. I thought they would all have the same amenities. At least the basics anyway. Paying almost $1000 for 3 nights I could have been in Palm cove for a week at Peppers Beach club. I might suggest to maybe put usb outlets in so travellers don't have to bring their own plugs. Pros... The only real positive thing was the main bed. Very comfortable and large. Was quite clean except the sheet wasn't on properly and wasn't folded under mattress as you would expect.

Lake Inn - Ballarat

Ballarat Central|3.02km from HomeCo. Ballarat
Stayed here for 3 nights in early November. Checked in and greeted by a lovely lady on reception who was very helpful and nice. Was in room number 1 (spa room.) The room was very clean and modern and although the room was close to the road, inside the room was very quiet and couldn’t hear cars or other guests and made for a relaxing stay. Only a 5 minute walk to the lake and a quick drive Into town. Had dinner at the adjoining hotel which was a very nice meal Would definitely recommend staying here and I would definitely stay here again when I’m next in Ballarat Thank you

My sister and I enjoyed a visit to Ballarat and Castlemaine staying at the Goldfields both nights. It was finally great to get out of Melbourne after our never ending lockdown. The staff (COVID ‘tester’ and Reception) were very genuine in their welcome and made us feel right at home. The double room was fantastic with a great bathroom. The view of the golf course was exceptional. We enjoyed our travels during the two days and had a lovely meal one night in the restaurant. Breakfast both mornings was really good. The resort is wonderful and the staff amazing. Well done!!

The facilities were great (although we didn’t get to use them, most definitely will next time) through to the staff were nothing short of exceptional. Highly recommend, and the quality of rooms were great as well.

Avenue Motel

Alfredton|8.02km from Full Flight Birds of Prey Centre
We booked two nights in this motel and I should have followed my gut on my initial encounter on reception. The Asian gentleman was not engaging and abrupt- it seemed we were an inconvenience to him. I was given the drill ie where to go for continental breakfast, put out sign for house keeping services and only one electronic pass key. According to my daughter, the expression on my face was priceless, as I entered the door and saw the room- it was an old room and not at all what I had expected. The beds were comfortable and linen clean. Electric blankets on bed and an extra blanket and pillow in the cupboard. So beds got a tick. It was obvious an attempt had been made to refurbish the room and bring it up to par- new toilet, hand basin, fridge, white goods (ie toaster, jug- Kmart), microwave and fridge, TV Aldi) fresh coat of paint and new lighting but no accessible light switches from the bed. Floor covering appeared new although it was obviously cheap. Even the laminated bench near the fridge was poor- the chip board was exposed and whoever installed needs to have a lesson in finishing things off properly. The shower head was supported- now listen to this one- pieces of bark in the hole in the wall. I had to stop and think was I in Ballarat or an outback motel in the NT? Next came the dining experience- quaintly referred to as continental breakfast. Rows of plastic containers with various cereals, all labled, the 3 'el cheapo' toasters and one electric jug on the bench and all connected to a power board that floated midway up the wall- OHS error there!!! Various juices in the fridge- expiry dates needed to be checked, and of course the old bread in the freezer trick. My 25yr old daughter just laughed and said 'Mum I am back in a school camp'- there was no tv in the area, just tables and chairs with artificial flowers placed in coffee mugs and some prints on the wall and signs saying cctv and ' Don't take any foodstuffs or kitchen wares to your room” {Motels owners words not mine}. Why have a toaster in your room if you can't grab some bread and little packets of jam and butter?? {Crockery and cutlery, all plastic was in the room- doesn't make sense to me} Piece of resistance was housekeeping- I dutifully put out my sign and 'lo and behold' on returning to room later in the day, sign was off door and I thought Oh that is good they have done the room- well they had sort of- fresh towels, some rubbish removed and get this- the king bed straightened up and no attempt to do the single bed. No attempt to wash used cups and glasses or clean out shower, hand basis etc. The shower base was not clean and there was grime and accumulated dust on the skirting boards and around all architraves, the paint job was so poor you could see the brush strokes and where he/she had completely missed areas, the grout was filthy. We paid $292 for two nights at this establishment and it was money poorly spent. The owners need to lift their game- doing things on the
