The room was clean and had everything we needed, albeit on the smaller size, but no great issue for us in that regards. However, we weren’t all that happy with the number of steps, in particular at the entry to our room and into the bathroom. These presented as tripping hazards for us and required constant alertness.

The Provincial is a wonderful choice for an overnight stay in Ballarat. The hotel is beautifully presented, with clean, comfortable rooms and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel relaxed as soon as you arrive. The location is ideal—central and convenient, yet still quiet enough for a great night’s sleep. Staff were friendly and attentive, and everything from check-in to check-out was seamless. A perfect blend of comfort, charm, and convenience. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Ballarat for a short stay.

The Reception Lady was very professional in her greeting and service. The first room allocated was quite small and we requested a change which was arranged very quickly, this is what good client is built on and suited us. On entering the room we were very impressed, clean and impressive. We were there only overnight and impressed that next time in Ballarat we will stay there.

Decor is beautiful, our room was very clean, spacious and very quiet, location of hotel is perfect, parking is great and breakfast was very good. On the negative side there is only instant coffee in the room (yuck), only one towel per person and the room servicing carts were parked outside our room all evening and were still there next morning… not a “luxury” experience.

Room was clean, 2 bedroom unit was lovely. Front door squeaked and we had to get someone to fix it. Power point in main bathroom did not seem to work. Coffee machine leaked water. For a room that is meant to be accessible having chairs lines up all the way to the door of the unit does not make it accessible. They need to update information sheets in room, the info sheet states you can call reception, room service etc by using the phone in the room. There is no such phone. Would be nice if they could replace dead plants, it is not a great look. Meals at Lola were lovely. Desserts were amazing!
