If you’re interested in a “bed to sleep in” Seymours on Lydiard will fulfil the brief; however, if you’re looking for a clean and inviting room, you’ll be disappointed. The room I stayed in was very dirty, with finger prints present on numerous walls, stains on the carpet, fluff and dirt where furniture had not been moved to vacuum, copious amounts of dust, food crumbs in cupboards and food stuck on kitchen cupboard handles, food stuck on surfaces behind the rubbish bin and should I wish to have cleaned myself, a dirty and used kitchen sponge (which you’d expect to have been changed for each customer). In the bathroom, there was rotten and mouldy crevices in the shower, which also leaked onto the floor and appeared to have been siliconed, rather than replaced, multiple times. The purpose for my stay was to recover from a medical procedure and this is not the environment I would have stayed in, knowing what I know now. As a local Ballarat resident, this is a disappointing venue for visitors to our city. When raising concerns, staff neglected to respond or address these matters.

Was lovely, clean and quiet. Will stay there again.

Stayed before so stayed again!

Cute little room, bed was amazing, internet non existence, spa was also fantastic

The room was terrible and needs to be completely refurbished and renovated. It was the absolute low point of some regional travel we made in April 2024. 1. The place was generally quite dirty and dusty. 2. The shower door did not close properly and was very dirty at the bottom of the door/shower. And it leaked along the back wall. The water disappeared into the floor and there is water damage showing on the roof of the car port below. 3. The spa door is held shut with black tape. 4. Inadequate cutlery is supplied e.g. one teaspoon and the draw is dirty. 5. The blind on the window between the bedroom and the bathroom is broken. 6. Curtin cords are hanging together with a thread. 7. The microwave does not have all its legs and is sitting on a piece of dirty foam. 8. There was a plastic blue cover on the couch and cushion which made the place feel like a crime scene. It was absolutely horrible. 9. The WiFi just did not work. 10. There are no power points near the desk or table. 11. The table had a horrible brown mark on it. 12. The bedside table was all marked making it look dirty and there is only one bedside table. 13. There was a lot of noise from the hotel on Saturday night making it difficult to sleep. 14. And even the Don't Not Disturb sign was held together with sticky tape. Hotel management did not respond to concerns made directly to them. Do yourself a favour a stay somewhere else.

Room was spacious and comfortable, all requirements were met, hotel in walking distance, right by entrance, with seating available outside, had a nice drink and meals available.

Management was informative and friendly and the property quiet with easy parking.

Room was clean and comfortable . Location was good and having the North Star Hotel on site was very convenient for dining

I have stayed at Seymours on multiple occasions. The personnel are wonderful to deal with, very helpful and obliging. The rooms are very spacious, extremely clean and well resourced. The room I routinely stay in has a spa and which is splendid. There are full cooking facilities in the room(s) that I have stayed in, parking on site and sleep quality is really good given that the location of Seymours is quiet. The property is close to transport, eateries, shopping and all else that Ballarat has to offer. I will happily return to Seymours when I am next in Ballarat. dee

Everything you could expect from accommodation that would normally cost twice as much, rooms designed for customer ease and comfort, with spotless cleanliness. I cannot find a single issue with Seymours on Lydiard and they can put us on there regular guest list now. Steve and Ellen.

The couch was very uncomfortable and the second night was very noisy , several times after 12 o’clock glass emptied into bins , very loud talking in car parking area.Asit was not cheap we were disappointed.

Simple check in process. Friendly staff. Clean room with parking. Close to cbd.

Was a comfortable stay.

Needs a serious cleanup

Good size room, large spa but upstairs Good help from reception Close to a pub open Wed-Sun no noise Walking distance to train to Melbourne

The apartment was very spacious and comfortable, the room looked as if it was recently refurbished with the latest modern cons, A nicely finished bathroom with a lovley two person spa. Great family space, we will return.

Spacious, well appointed room but just getting tired & with a refurbishment could be excellent.

Thank you for your help with my luggage.

Excellent accomodation and central to all areas of Ballarat

Comfortable and spacious. Did not like external stairs out in the rain to reach front door. Risk of slipping on wet stairs.

Great location and amenities

Great communication, friendly service, clean and tidy.

Avoid Seymours on Lydiard! Absolute waste of money and poorly run establishment. We left the 5 bedroom house after one night, even though we booked for a longer stay. Not sure what was worse - the property (being in a very poor condition), or the service (being dismissive and nonchalant, even admitting to several faults pointed out - clearly knowing the issues but did not fix them). 1. Property condition - Photos displayed are from years past, showing a much better condition (the manager admitted "these photos were from a few years ago, but everything you see in the pictures are still there". Technically true, but the same could be said of Pompeii). 2. Noise - Everything in the house creaks and squeaks when used. The floorboards, door hinges, door knobs, bunk bed. Every step upstairs can be heard in each bedroom. (I was told "it's you yourselves who's making the noise by walking around." My bad, I didn't realise we were meant to not walk!) Being on a main road, the noise from the roads was bad too (someone was racing and doing burnouts the night we were there so safety was a concern too). 3. Broken parts - Blinds don't extend all the way down, downstairs bedroom sliding doors don't slide (I was told "one side works", as if I should be grateful for this.) Spoke early the next morning to the reception/manager who offered to oil the hinges and "we fix what we can, but you're not living in your house here... You can move out if you want". Enough said, we did just that.

Close to the main hub of Ballarat

Easy check-in and parking. Hotel management friendly and accommodating. Thankyou

Love the stay at Seymour's. The accommodation is close to two great cafes, walkable into the town centre, but it is far enougj to avoid the noise of the traffic. The room is spotless and has all the comforts of home. The room is also fairly spacious. The check in and check out is made so simple. The host are lovely. Definitely will stay there again when i head to Ballarat next.

All good, friendly reception.

Walking distance to downtown Ballarat, easy parking

A great room with kitchen, very clean and comfortable, free on site parking available, perfect for a few nights stay. Would definitely choose to stay here again.

Great location, clean rooms. Just the bed was a little uncomfortable.

Clean, enough space, comfy bed.

The unit I was in was spacious, very clean, neat and tidy. It had a wonderful spa bath. There were very ample cooking facilities, a comfy sofa and dining area and very comfortable double bed. Like most places it could do with new inclusions however the COVID crisis has negated this for most places, I would imagine. The biggest asset for the place is the lovely lady who was on reception (? the owner or manager). Very helpful, polite and accommodating. Thank you.
