A quiet area, bird life beautiful staff great, views wonderful, gorgeous sunset, and although the lovely lady that greeted us said i would love the sunrise and she went out of her way to give us a room with a view of the sunset it was a cloudy day but we did see a little sneak view of some of the sunrise so grateful for the opportunity. we would happily stay there again.

Sovereign Hill Hotel is super convenient when visiting Sovereign Hill. Only a few minutes from Ballarat town centre, everything is close. There is on site parking, and rooms are a short walk from the car. Our family room had been clearly refurbished for the buildings age. Everything was clean and the room had plenty of space. Beds could do with updating, but still comfortable. Great affordable accommodation.

Stayed here for 3 nights with my husband and 2 teenagers. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Our King size bed was comfortable but there were bunks for our kids that weren’t so comfortable, maybe I should have asked for 2 single beds. Found the location great with access to Sovereign hill via a separate entrance, so can come and go during the day you visit Sovereign Hill. There is an option to book a Continental breakfast which we had every morning that we were very impressed with. We stayed in the colonial room .

We had a fantastic 2 night stay. The staff were very helpful and kind. To the security guard that checked us in after hours, to the receptionists (dealt with 3), to the breakfast staff and chef! We have dietary requirements and they went above and beyond for us. Very appreciative. The room was very very comfortable. Loved it! Will return!
