Great place to stay in the middle of beautiful Ballarat, rooms very nice, but what a disapointment with the night club music being heard to 4am...we were told about the night club on arrival, but didn't think it was going to be so loud...Breakfast far to expensive
went to resturant Nibble and natter had a great breakfast for $12....

We stayed one night and found the queen bed awful - sagging and totally uncomfortable for a single person let alone two. My partner moved to the single bed at about 2 am with a sore back. I also hate the use of synthetic blankets that feel like foam rubber. They make you feel so hot and sweaty. Can't believe a four star place in Ballarat would not be into pure wool blankets. Puts me off ever using this hotel again.

We decided to take a spontaneous trip to Ballarat and find accomodation when we got there. By absolute fluke this was the first place we phoned and they had availabilty so we stayed there. They have recently renovated and it looks very classy. The rooms are very elegant, and comfortable and are plush without being over-the-top. Even in the standard rooms, they seem to have thought of every detail and the service was fantastic. We would definitely stay here again and happily recommend it to others.

Its in great proximity to cinemas and restaurants and is in a beautiful street of heritage buildings.

Anywhere else and this hotel would shine! It's great, the building is superb, the renovation is top class, the rooms are large, clean and fitted as well as anywhere we've seen. The parking, although a bit of adventure to find is almost as close to your rooms as a motel and very well set up - other than our door keys not opening the gate and constantly having to press the intercom bell instead to gain access.

There were only a couple of things that let this place down in my esteem.

1) The queen bed was not supportive enough and I found that I had to sleep near the edge to stop rolling into the centre.
2) The George is 2 doors up and the nightclub was clearly to be heard doof-doofing from 1am until 4:30am (funnily enough we didn't hear it before 1am?)
3) The breakfast is overly expensive. For 2 adults and 1 child for what we consider a fairly normal breakfast was going to set us back $60...it did smell really good as I walked past a platter being delivered as we headed out to find something cheaper...but $15 is my limit and it has to be a sit-down in a restaurant affair for that money. Usually when you pay over $200 a night for a room - the breakfast is usually included I find.

But I must say, the staff here are number one. You wont find better.
