Ballarat Marathon Festival Weekend

Great location close to Ballarat CBD, train station and restaurants. We were in Ballarat attending the marathon festival - location central and close to start/finish line.

Great place, Art Nouveau style but done up recently. Currently no liquor license so can't sell you alcohol with the meal but that didn't bother us. Nice restaurant that's part of the hotel. Our room (the double suite) is a bit noisy due to train line nearby but they provide earplugs. Very comfortable stay and we were made to feel very welcome. That was our third stay and we will stay again!

Beautiful presentation room had everything that I love in a hotel room. Clean, tea coffee and biscuits. Fridge with wine and beer available for purchase. Iron and ironing board double shower. Room very quiet even though it is very near the rail station. I would recommend this to anyone.

Noisy trains ALL NIGHT!

Though this hotel is lovely to look at, I wouldn’t stay if you intend to sleep! My room was directly across from a railway station that doesn’t stop all night. Freight trains, passengers trains, trains blowing their horn, boom gates sounding ALL NIGHT!!! And no double glazed windows, so you might as well be sleeping on the tracks! Such a disappointment as the property is lovely, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend due to its location
