Even though it was December, the weather was extremely cold and wet. The room had no heating. The old air conditioner worked only for cooling. Furthermore, Reception was ALWAYS closed! The reception hours featured on the notices and on the website, did not apply. The 3-digit emergency number was never answered! The security guard let us in upon arrival, then he too disappeared.

The excellent restoration of this magnificent Victorian building shows how clever and considerate are the owners. They have incorporated luxury comfort without losing the features of the building, and the modern extension to the property blends seamlessly. Throughout the place are cosy reading nooks and a marvellous and eclectic selection of fabulous books, art and memorabilia, placed always to enhance the sense of design. The owners are warm and friendly and add to the overall sense of welcome and serenity. The weekend continental breakfast was excellent. Overall we felt a sense of calm in this lovely place.

The location is fantastic and an easy walk into town or any of the many restaurants/pubs.
Very quiet room and very clean and larger than you would think.

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.
Excellent location in the heart of Ballarat, only a few minutes walk from the train station and surrounded by many great choices for delicious meals. The Ballarat Art Gallery is just across the street from the hotel. The hotel room was warm, comfortable, and clean, and the hot water pressure in the shower was very good. The reception staff were friendly and welcoming.
I had to come to Ballarat to care for a very very sick family member, and the staff have fallen over themselves to help me in any way they can. And if you’re up here for a holiday, the location is epic - right across the road from Soverign Hill. The spa baths are the biggest I have come across in a hotel bathroom 👌🏼great place - highly recommend.
Sovereign Park Motor Inn Beautiful hotel with excellent accommodation, also very clean, its entertainment areas are very good for children and adults. It has a restaurant where all its dishes are delicious.
At the same time Hector was very kind to my entire family and made us feel at home. Thanks Hector
The room is so big, feel relaxed and comfortable, nice and quiet. Strongly recommended. The staff, man and woman are very nice and friendly. If I go Ballarat again I’ll book that place again. The best experience ever of staying in hotel. Feel better than hotel i stayed in middle of Sydney
Quirky historical hotel in the middle of Ballarat. Bed was reasonable comfortable and you could open the doors to get some air! Parking was available either on the street or around the back. Place is like a rabbit Warren with an interesting history.
Large family accomodation, Quite location, warm rooms, comfortable bedding, great kitchen, loads of free activities for the whole family. Great family destination close to Ballarat central and Sovereign Hills. Friendly and helpful staff.
We liked the size of the apartment for our family. The heating was excellent. Plenty of blankets for everyone. The tea/coffee provisions were generous. The included breakfast provisions were handy for the kids too.
Great location. Great service and a very warm and welcoming person at the front desk. This was the best hotel we stayed in on our road trip around Victoria. We will stay here again next time we visit Ballarat.
Beautifully renovated and tastefully decorated. Warm, inviting and cozy. Perfect for our little family to refresh ourselves. A home away from home. Perfectly located only a short stroll from Ballarat cbd.
The owner was so thoughtful in setting up the home for a family with young kids. With toys and icy pops in the freezer as an extra treat, it was a wonderful home for my family to stay at.
Location excellent. All staff were friendly & helpful! Food at restaurant was excellent! Ambience of hotel was excellent. We would definitely stay at Oscars next time we come to Ballarat.
