Craig's Royal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very unique building and rooms, rooms with character. Beautiful building and very convenient location"

Ballarat Colonial Motor Inn & Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Lack of information for the pool usage. We were told it was open to 8 o'clock but all the lights are off and the cover was on yet the door is open."

Begonia City Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"The accommodation was good for the price the only complaint was the hot water was only warm for both the shower and spa bath, you could only stay in the spa for 15 minutes as the was cold after that time"

Central City Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Location"

The Provincial Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was decorated beautifully. The staff were friendly. The dining room was also decorated beautifully and the food was delicious. I would stay there again and recommend this hotel to other guests."

NRMA Ballarat Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"Great budget cabin in a well equipped park Friendly staff and a good location - definitely would return"

Ballarat Suites

8/10 Good

"Had a great stay. Will stay again. I chose a room with a bath and was delighted to see it was one of those tubs with a couple of steps inside to be able to sit, lay and stretch out. Sadly, my 'do not disturb' sign was missing, so I was woken earlier than I'd have liked on a Sunday - but in the scheme of things that is a small gripe in an otherwise lovely stay."

Mid City Ballarat

10/10 Excellent

"I lost my swipe card that opens my door and it was easily replaced at reception i just had to show my photo id"
