Top Gold Museum Hotel Reviews

The Provincial Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was decorated beautifully. The staff were friendly. The dining room was also decorated beautifully and the food was delicious. I would stay there again and recommend this hotel to other guests."

Craig's Royal Hotel

8/10 Good

"An excellent venue in the heart of the town. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended."

NRMA Ballarat Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"Great budget cabin in a well equipped park Friendly staff and a good location - definitely would return"

Central City Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"Good place to stay and helpful staff. Also, one thing to note is that the key drop box was not locked and keys can be stolen. Pool was not working and could be due to maintenance. Room was good and needs a good steam clean so that it stays fresh. Moisture can be a hurdle at times."

Ballarat Suites

8/10 Good

"Had a great stay. Will stay again. I chose a room with a bath and was delighted to see it was one of those tubs with a couple of steps inside to be able to sit, lay and stretch out. Sadly, my 'do not disturb' sign was missing, so I was woken earlier than I'd have liked on a Sunday - but in the scheme of things that is a small gripe in an otherwise lovely stay."

Mid City Ballarat

10/10 Excellent

"I lost my swipe card that opens my door and it was easily replaced at reception i just had to show my photo id"

Quest Ballarat Station

10/10 Excellent

"A very nice new hotel in a good location. Rooms are spacious & clean. A big balcony for sitting outside. Individual split system in every room."

Quest Ballarat

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay everything was perfect"

Mercure Ballarat Hotel and Convention Centre

8/10 Good

"Nice quiet spot, room and furnishings ready for a refurb "
