The room was clean and comfortable, styled in the older colonial style, which is a lovely touch. The room was quiet, and you could not hear the other guests coming or going. The toiletries that are supplied are nice and smelt wonderful. Breakfast is a good option in the morning, it's kind of a buffet you can get your own toast, pastries and friut, but they ask if you want a hot meal which you get a choice of scrabbled or fried eggs. Entry to sovereign Hill is not included in your stay, but you can purchase entry at the hotel and enter the park via the hotel, which is handy.

The shower is very pokie.

The hotel is located next to Sovereign Hill park. It has a separate entrance and provides separate entry cards for all its visitors. The hotel complements the park. So, all the buildings are made in the same style as colonial Australia. The hotel is located near the bus stop. Therefore travellers without a car can easily get to it from the station to the hotel and from the hotel to the city.

The room, unfortunately, was not clean. There were some brown spots on the bedding, and every time someone in the hotel drained the water, we heard the water flowing through the pipes along the entire room.

Stayed here July 2023. The room was great. Huge comfy bed with crisp white linen and the was room was warm when we arrived - bonus in Ballarat! Loved the old and new aspect of the rooms. Regal carpet, Old doors and old basin but modern amenities. An amazing sunrise greeted us in the morning and being probably at the highest point in Ballarat a great view too. Shower caps and big fluffy towels. Staff friendly and welcoming. In all though value for money and a lovely location. Saw previous reviews and was uncertain about booking but what a delight and so glad I decided to choose this place to stay in Ballarat.

Curtains needed to be blockout as the curtains on the window directly in front of our bed did not go all the way down and curtains were on them and others in the room did not block out the sunlight. It was an amazing sunrise though. Remove the cobwebs and better clean of shower.

Lovely room, good, clean facilities and reasonable price. Great location for accessing Sovereign Hill. Staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. Check in and out was simple. Staff recommended the Red Lion for tea and this was a great choice really enjoyed the meal!

Bunk bed not so comfy for older child. Breakfast quite pricy, so we ate elsewhere. Some decorations or furniture to make it feel more nostalgic - like part of Sovereign Hill would be better. It just felt a bit too modern for a "Sovereign Hill" hotel.

Easy check in. Very clean. Room.in great condition. Family room was perfect for us. Nice big bathroom. Good view. Not clinical like the big chain hotels. Great location, bordering Sovereign Hill.

An easily accessible outdoor area would be great, but it's an easy walk to a big area for the kids to run around. On site dinner would have been good, but food delivery options are plentiful and they found the place easily (we waited by reception). There's also lots of restaurant/pub options a few minutes drive away.

A room that worked perfectly for our stay. We needed the separate beds. The location is excellent. The breakfast was massive, one plate could feed two people. It has that eerie feeling of a heritage building which adds to the atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally helpful when I left personal belongings behind, contacting me before I had even realised. The security guard was also lovely and helpful when a key didn't work.

Not a fan of bunk beds but it still met our needs and was advertised as such..

You can access to Main Street with a swipe card from reception desk if you've had a ticket to Sovereign Hill on the day, thanks to the reception! Location is superb for families with young children to visit Winter lightshow in Sovereign Hill, no one can bit! Breakfast was great with bacon, sausages, baked beans, and delicious mushrooms and tomatoes! If there is a coffee machine, breakfast will be delightful (Coffee was prepared in a big jar, it was not tasty for me. If you mixed it with milk, it was not warm enough when we choose sitting in @9:00am.).

Very convenient backing on to Sovereign Hill. Staff on check in (I didn't get her name), wonderful service & a few great recommendations 👍 Aging facilities, but clean. Bed & pillows were very comfortable!

The toilet seat & lid were barely hanging on, moved while you were on it. The toilet paper fell off the holder every time you went to the toilet as the stopper had fallen off & the holder is way too close to the toilet.

Fantastic Location for Sovereign Hill Museum. Lovely grounds and great parking Direct access to the museum The staff were execptionally friendly and helpful We went to the evening Aura show and the landtrain dropped up back at the gate to the hotel which was a great touch. Highly recommended if visiting the museum Lovely big room

As it's an older building the sound proofing between the rooms wasn't great so you could hear your next door neighbour. The toilet cystern in our room screeched every time it was flushed (sorry next door neighbour!)

Reception was locked when we arrived at 5pm. Sign on door indicated someone would return soon. We waited a while then tried messaging through Booking.com and rang the reception number but got no response. We and other guests) waited 75 minutes in cold weather before the receptionist returned. She had been making up rooms. Would be better if either (1) keys were left in a code box for pickup or (2) the staff member could be alerted to people waiting outside.
