Next door to Sovereign hill. So convenient if you are visiting Sovereign hill and AURA night show.

Bed was sagging and not the best. Cleanliness is ok but can be better.

Just next to Sovereign Hill. Very clean room and comfortable beds. Friendly staff. Definitely recommended and will surely go again.

Didn't have a microwave which would be good.

"Backpacker / School Camp vibes. Incredibly disappointed for the price. Would not recommend."

1.0

- Literally the only positive is the direct access to Sovereign Hill and having somewhere to go back to during the day if you have small kids or a baby that needs a break. In saying that though, there are so many other motels within a 5min drive.

- Double bed was lumpy and dimped significantly on one side. The mattess was absolutely not fit for use. - The bunk beds were so squeaky and the kids could hardly breath without a loud squeaking noise. - The acoustics were truly terrible with absolutely no sound proofing between the rooms. The constant banging of doors from other rooms was so loud and disruptive. - The TV didn't work properly and kept glitching/cutting out. This may have been tolerable for backpacker prices but at over $275 per night in Ballarat, this was completely unacceptable. Do not book this hotel if you actually want to be able to get a nights sleep. Potentially suitable for those having a big night out in Ballarat and not really sleeping. There are so many motels in Ballarat (which we have happily stayed at before), I would never stay here or recommend to others.

Staff were very welcoming. Beds were comfortable

There was a lot of black mould in the shower and generally the room set off our allergies, so I think it was very dusty.

"Never stay here again"

1.0

Close sovereign Hill park and that we could get a room at the last minute.

That we could not park in front of our room. As we have mobility issues and walking to our room with luggage. No breakfast or dinner for guest only school kids 😡
