Very small and private, close to everything
Very comfortable and well decorated. Very interesting artworks and building. Split system, exhaust fan and under bath vanity was dusty and not maintained which wasn’t very nice considering it’s such a small space. Service was good but no desire to converse or upsell or tell us about the hotel or localities, very minimal which isn’t good enough for a boutique hotel in the bustling Ballarat. Restaurant had excellent service and decor, food was exceptional apart from the pistachio crumb was burnt on the pannacotta.

It was okay. Room was much smaller than expected and furnishings were showing quite a bit of wear and tear and the shower seals didn’t keep the water in. Wasn’t expecting the Ritz, but it wasn’t cheap and had expected more based on reputation. It was a place to sleep, that’s it.

Quiet little boutique hotel which suited our needs perfectly. A special touch by the owners with our heater left on in our room to give us a really cosy warm welcome on arrival on what was a very chilly Ballarat winters day

Very interesting heritage building. Our room was extremely small, only one side of the bed was accessible. The use of vintage finds in the decor were appreciated and added character but the general condition of paintwork and carpet where poor.
