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.

The excellent restoration of this magnificent Victorian building shows how clever and considerate are the owners.

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.

    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.

    this is a perfect B & B for a small family with a large Queen in one room and single beds in the other - Small but efficient kitchen with everything you could want. Brekky provisions included quality bread, bacon & eggs. Mary Anne and Richard made us both very welcome. Stunning old home in a leafy street with shaded parking. The unit is at the front of the private house at the back. Ridiculously cheap tariff for this place - I couldn't believe the value for money.

    I cannot fault this place. We’ve been on the road for almost a month and stayed in a number of places. This has been our favourite! The house is beautiful, comfortable and very clean. It’s in an excellent location. They went above and beyond by having a well stocked panty with the basics, plus milk in the fridge and a coffee machine. Excellent communication from the owner. If we come back to Ballarat we will absolutely stay here!

    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 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 hotel is part of a complex on the Western Highway coming into Ballarat from Melbourne. It's an older style hotel with some refurbishments. The bed was comfy and it was good to have a restaurant next door. We ended up eating dinner in town and it only took us 5 mins to get there.
