Reviews and Ratings
The hotel provided a mix of positive experiences such as being located in the heart of the city and offering great vegetarian restaurant options, but it fell short with room maintenance issues and limited dining choices. The service was efficient with a professional touch, complementing the convenient location.
The hotel is in a central location, with a lively atmosphere and convenient access to the main retail area of Ballarat. The rooms are clean and well-furnished, although the torn carpet was a bit of a letdown. The breakfast, included in the price, was a tasty delight, but it's a shame you have to pay extra for table tennis. The service was impeccable, with a professional staff offering dry cleaning, laundry, and newspaper services.
The hotel had great facilities in the rooms, but there was an issue with a running toilet. The service was professional with additional services like dry cleaning, laundry, and newspaper service. The location was ideal, being in Ballarat city center, close to everything we needed over our stay. However, the dining used to be included in the rate, offering hot sandwiches.
