Great historic pub lovingly restored with free hidden parking in the middle of the city with your room booking. Heritage bar and restaurant excellent for dinner as were the inventively clever redesigned accommodation rooms.

The room was very nice - large, clean & modern.
The Victorian building was charming
Certainly different than the usual branded hotel
I'd definitely stay there again

Beautiful old hotel with fantastic refurb of the accommodation. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed on the night we stayed. Our room was very well appointed and very quiet. Perfect for our visit to the Art Gallery.

The building itself is lovely, the room was quite dark but that comes with old buildings.
Staff were very friendly, and room service was good. Overall it was a lovely stay.

Dear Rachel,
We are pleased to hear your overall stay was an enjoyable one. We do understand your concerns regarding lack of natural lighting in the room, this can be quite difficult to achieve with heritage buildings. We do hope you keep us in mind, should you ever find yourself in Ballarat in the future.
Kind Regards
Room was great but reception was tops. We were booked in for 3 nights but we were there just before the Victorian May Covid outbreak. At check in the woman saw we were due to stay the 3 nights but quickly suggested we book for 1 night and see what happens. Good call…..the borders were closed to Melbourne and Bendigo residents the next day. Will we go back and finish what we were going to do? You bet.
