We liked the old style pub hotel feel.
I think for the price and staying over Easter it provided everything we needed as we were in the area for the Stawell Easter gift race.
5.0 / 5.0
Its a pub! It did what it said on the box, clean and tidy rooms with 3 large shared bathrooms for the floor.
We all loved the period charm and the friendly staff. I loved the free breakfast (choose what ever you want - I had the bid breakfast - Yum) - Dinner downstairs was also excellent.
No aircon in the bedrooms from memory, maybe a bit hot in summer??
Didn't bother us.

Great location, very comfortable room & bed. Nice looking bar downstairs.
One of the reason why I chose this place was because it offered what looked to be a great breakfast. Arrived only to find the breakfast started at 8:30 and as I was travelling for work this was too late.

Our stay was wonderful, the rooms are spacious and comfortable and the shared bathroom facilities are fantastic, exceeded expectations - outstanding shower water pressure and only a short walk from all rooms.
As the chef was away the owner insisted on reimbursing us for breakfast.

The location was convenient and the staff very friendly. The decor of the room was nice. The convenience of having a bar and restaurant was a positive factor, as well as being able to park out the front.
It was not clear on the website that the rooms did not have an ensuite- only shared bathroom facilities were available. There was only one PowerPoint in the room with many leads attached. There was a glass panel above the door which let in light every time someone used the bathroom or toilet opposite the room, so we were woken frequently throughout the night.

4.0 / 5.0
Great location on the Main Street. For me it was to break up the travel distance from Melbourne to Adelaide to get a head start. very friendly staff and ideal with a classy intimate Bar and dining options downstairs so you don’t have to go anywhere else.
to be picky I found the bed a bit soft. Shared bathrooms / toilets were very adequate, clean and served the purpose well.

Good
Coat hangers in the wardrobe would have been handy
More information needed regarding wifi password breakfast times delay in getting hot water to the showers
Perhaps a simple handout brochure on arrival would have covered these issues

This is a friendly, great value hotel to stay at right in the main Street of Ararat. Clean, well presented room with convenient access. Bistro menu offered a good selection and breakfasts were freshly cooked to order. we enjoyed talking to the friendly staff and plenty of locals enjoying the Barkly.

Bistro was great and staff really good.
Shared facilities but it was ok as it was budget accommodation and there was limited accommodation available. An event had booked out most places.

Rather have own bathroom. But I knew they were shared. I survived:)

Rob was a great host, he was both interested and interesting to have a chat with. He came across as very unflappable.
The hotel bar, room and facilities were all very clean.
