Sovereign Hill Hotel, hotel in Ballarat

Sovereign Hill Hotel is set in the heart of a historical 25-acre mining site featuring theater show and gold mining tours. Guests enjoy free Wi-Fi and BBQ facilities.

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.

    Ballarat is terrific.

    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.

    The room was amazing, bed super comfortable and bathroom clean and large, the location close to many shops. I was unable to stay the full booking due to unforeseen events back in Mel and had to leave early, the hotel were very understanding and refunded the day I wouldn't be in Ballarat, they even posted a charger I left in the room back to me. Excellent Service! will recommend the hotel to others and stay when I go back to Ballarat.

    The check in process was easy with clear and regular communication from the Hotel team, even though we arrived late into the evening. Extra special that we had after hours access to the grounds, on top of the admission to the theme park when it opened the following day. That was worth the room rate alone! Room was spacious, with plenty of bench space and storage and a fridge is always a bonus.

    Newly built, spacious and great location! Opposite is a fantastic restaurant which makes it easy for dinner option. Lovely Hampton’s style decor with modern appliances. The bathroom was a luxury escape, the heat lamp helped with warming the floor tiles on a cold night. Great air-conditioner/heater. Netflix in the room was a bonus.

    Lovely and thoughtfully updated heritage hotel in the centre of Ballarat, so close to the food/drink laneways, art gallery, shops. I arrived at the railway station and it was a very quick walk to the George. Elegantly presented and comfortable. Very helpful staff who willingly found me peppermint teabags late at night.

    It was my first time I brought my family from overseas to stay in Ballarat. I’m glad I did a great decision to stay here because my family enjoyed it! The house is so big and tidy! We were extra grateful for the washing machine and dryer that the host provided! 😉 Really recommended for other people to stay here! 👍

    The staff were amazingly accommodating and friendly especially the concierge at the time. The downside was the fan wasn’t working well, which needs improvement. Overall, we had a great time in the hotel. Will definitely comeback and recommend it to my family and friends!
