3.0 / 5.0
Access to sovereign hill is just a short walk away. Relatively quiet grounds with private parking. Room itself was small and not worth the money. It's in dire need of a renovation. The furniture desperately needs replacing. The tables were scratched and the chairs were stained. Bathroom was relatively clean.

The location was perfect and the hotel is cute and quaint with everything we needed.
Would stay there again!

Basic but clean and comfortable and a very short walk to Sovereign Hill. Perfect for those also attending the winter wonderlights.

Staff very helpful and friendly. Room was comfortable and clean. Only problem was paid extra for a spa in room and it wasn’t working.

The reception staff were friendly and helpful. The Governor's room we stayed in well facilitated. Unfortunately, we ould not get the split system to work,which proved not much of an issue as the bed was worm and cosy. The overhead light fixture needing a goo dusting. I would recommend this accomodation.

My family have stayed here a few times and have always enjoyed our stay. Where our rooms where this time was completely different where we've been any other time. It was a bit of a walk to the accommodation from the car and we had to use quite a few stairs. I said on arrival this wasn't ideal as I had a disability but wasn't offered any change. The young man was kind and showed on a map where to go and said it wasn't far, wasn't too many steps etc but...it was for me. The property website wasn't available and we had to go through Wotif so keep in mind to always put you need a ground floor if you need. It made it very difficult for me.
Also, breakfast is only available on school holidays now. That was a little disappointing.

Tv antenna connection in room was broken. Everything else was perfect except for the noise from other guests, very loud and walls paper thin. Only an issue when they woke up at 6am

We were happy with our room. It was basic, nothing fancy. But it was clean and it was all we needed for one night. The shower was quite small.

This is a favourite of ours when we visit Ballarat. The hotel in lovely, using old facades with modern interiors to draw an inference to times gone by. The staff at check-in were lovely and were helpful in letting us know about local haunts and things to do. This hotel is great if you have kids, the rooms are spacious and there is a large grassed area for them to run around.

Right next to the Sovereign Hill tourist attraction. Friendly, helpful and accommodating staff. The tv reception was poor and they need to update the taps. Excellent cooked breakfast. Quiet location.

Convenience was great as we were visiting Sovereign Hills the next day. Other guests need to consider the design and age of building and be more aware of the self closing doors on entry to building and their rooms as they come and go. There is nothing to muffle the sound of self slamming doors. Staff were excellent on arrival and came to our aid when the tv did not work. Rectified immediately. Glass shelf in shower a bit dangerous with its positioning, so we took it out.

The staff were friendly. The breakfast was amazing. Loved the accessibility into Sovereign Hill itself. We did have an issue with our air con leaking first night, however staff were quick to help and issue a new room.
Wish we could have stayed longer.

5.0 / 5.0
The staff were friendly with fantastic customer service. They were really accomodating, recommended a great place to have breakfast, and organised our passes for Sovereign Hill, with a back entry keypass so we didn't have to drive around. Very convenient with 2 little kids.
The rooms were clean and comfortable.
Parking was easy and accessible.
The only negative was we could hear the people talking really loud in the room next door quite late at night, which you could get anywhere.
For the price point, this accommodation was well worth it and we look forward fo staying here again in the future.

Great location, quiet spot with a nice view overlooking sovereign hill. Price was excellent, very clean and a good overnight option for us. The bed is really comfortable, the room is well proportioned and suits a couple well. The bathroom layout was ok, with fresh clean linen, the shower was just a bit small and on an angle, very little room to move in, love to see it upsized!
