Location: proximity to Sovereign Hill is excellent. Room 6: our initial room and bed-lamps for both beds. Room 6 to 5: staff provided assistance moving to another room that had a working tv + given a bottle of wine for the inconvenience of having to relocate to another room. Room 5: room we transferred to had 2 separate bedrooms which was an upgrade for us.
Décor: old world feel created with dark furniture and warm lighting which created a welcoming ambience. Bathroom: low level light over vanity is welcomed, as most lights are blinding during the night + mirror height positioned to be suitable for tall and short people. Carport: Great to have the car under cover especially in winter. On site restaurant: Azzuri is excellent. Great food. Great ambience with wood fire going. I would definitely stay here again. We were there in winter so didn’t use the pool or gym. Very quiet. Great to have the car under cover and not have to scrape ice off in the morning.
Located within a beautiful heritage listed building, just steps from Ballarat train station, the property provides rooms with cable TV, free WiFi and heating. Free parking is available on site.

It was my Mother's Day weekend. Both, my daughter and I are very happy. It was clean, comfortable, the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and we were close to everything. Thank you.

Ballarat is terrific. Full of history, culture and shopping. Lake Wendouree and the Botanic gardens are always a delight. Lunch at Craigs Hotel Atrium was very special and a good price. The Gallery always has something new to see as the exhibits change often. Eureka Stockade museum is a really good exhibition and tells the story of the Rebellion. The King Bakery on Sturt street has THE BEST vanilla slices and meat pies. Yellow Espresso next door does a great coffee too. Op shops are well situated. Messer & Opie is a really nice Men's & Women's clothing shop in the Bridge street Mall. Although Ballarat is more hilly than you'd think walking around the area is still easy.

I would have liked to have walked in the downtown area but I didn't know how to pay for parking.
The main purpose of being in Ballarat was to visit Sovereign Hill which we could have spent so much more time at. This was better than we had expected.
Friendly staff, great performances and there was a feeling of going back to different times in history.

Ballarat is a historical gem, it reeks of history everywhere you go and is easy to get around. The restaurants, cafes, pubs and people we met were all great. We have been several times now and we will go back as the region has plenty to offer . If you go in winter, rug up.

I was thrilled that the begonias in the botanic gardens were still in full bloom ( mid April) . I was moved by the exhibit on the Eureka Stockage. I was impressed with the large number of elegant historic buildings in the city.
Perfectly situated right in the middle of Ballarat.
Two well set up rooms, both with nice en-suite.
Upstairs kitchen/living room was well appointed and lovely furniture. Was too hot to go outside on upper balcony and we had to keep the blinds down during the day. But it was really hot (for Ballarat!)
Garage couldn’t take my work van but would fit normal compact or SUV fine.
Pretty much faultless, and great value for money for two work colleagues when compared to a hotel.
We mostly stay in this hotel when staying in Ballarat, if not booked out, as it's modern, always spotless & king bed. ( Stay on left hand side of building as you drive in, as newer,) but otherwise was of the same standard when we stayed on right hand side. New managers were trying out, couple of weeks ago, but don't expect standards to change, as probably same cleaning ladies. Don't order breakfast, as take our own, as like a sleep in.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, the location has a great view and it's pretty cool to be able to stay in a castle! Even though the castle was closed when we visited we were allowed to look around and visit the friendly sheep and goat for pats. The cost to stay here was cheap and a great option as something a bit different from a hotel. The room was very comfortable and had everything you need for a short stay.
The property was very private but easily accessible, it was close to everything nearby. The house itself was immaculately clean and had a very homely feeling. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had all the essentials you need. The staff were very contactable and friendly. Would 10/10 recommend and will definitely be staying here when i go to ballarat next.
The location is excellent, central, close to the Ballarat Art Gallery, and a short walk from Ballarat train station. The staff were friendly and helpful. I had breakfast at the hotel restaurant and I definitely recommend it. The Wi-Fi was very good and reliable. All in all, I had a very comfortable stay.
The hotel was in the quiet part of Ballarat but not very far from cafes, restaurants and places of interest. Room was clean and cozy. Did not use the spa but it was there. No contact check-in and check-out but everything was well organised. Got my SMS with instructions on the day of check in promptly.
Great feel to the hotel the room was spotless - the man at the reception desk was welcoming and lovely too (I wish I could recall his name)
private parking onsite was secure and easy to access coming in and out.
A very old hotel, clean and comfortable, It was fine for 1 night, it was cheap so I didn’t expect a lot. There was loud music and patrons downstairs but by the time I got back from a night out it was all over.
We always stay here when in Ballarat. We have family there so we have stayed in many of the hotel in the area. The Menzies is always consistently clean, a fair price and check in and check out are easy.
The house is spacious and well appointed. It’s in a great location with a great cafe, charming pub and wood fired pizza joint within a block and the Ballarat station and CBD an easy 12-15 minute walk.
The day of the booking reception called and asked if we wanted a free upgrade to the guest house. I was with my family so it was perfect. Gave an AirBnB vibe. Lovely town house for no extra cost.
