Staff are so lovely. We had a very noisy neighbour and the bed was uncomfortable. The manager kindly moved us to a new and very comfortable room! Bed was so comfortable 🙏 I stay here frequently and always have a lovely time. Ohhh and not to mention the cheeseboard & the restaurants cuisine is spot ...

Mercure Ballarat Hotel and Convention Centre
The restaruant area and food , staff and quality of service was excellent but the room, although clean, and quiet and quite roomy was "very tired" and is certainly in need of a refresh. The bathroon area certainly is in need of a real update.
