Great place to stay
We drove up Friday for my partner to play a weekend of tennis and for me to explore the gallery. We had a wonderful time at the hotel - good wine selection - great food - attentive staff - lovely garden to sit out in for the afternoon - rooms meticulously curated and clean - with lots of attention to detail. It’s a great location to be based in. We will come up again. Next time we will catch the train from Melbourne and cross over the road to the Hotel. Whilst close to the railway line - was quiet at night.

Lovely little find. Booked small double room (cheapest) room as was only staying one night. Very adequate, comfortable bed, clean and quiet. Very good value for money. Lovely staff both at hotel reception and in restaurant. Excellent breakfast at Lola restaurant.

We had a lovely room, the only negative is that this historical building does not have a lift so if stairs are an issue then access is difficult to get to the nicer, larger rooms. Breakfast was ok but nothing special. Coffee was good.

A classy boutique hotel in the heart of Ballarat
I chose this property for an o'nite stay in Ballarat from a recommendation in the Made In: Ballarat tourism newsletter. Once you step inside the door you could be forgiven you're in Provence at first glance. The decor is a very tasteful white & French blue. The check in process was fast & friendly. The car park is easy to find, or the train station is just over the road if you decide to leave the car at home. My ground floor room was a little on the small side, but big enough for a solo traveller. It was very clean, stocked with the essentials, and everything was in good order & working condition. Cafes, bars etc, plus the Art Gallery of Ballarat are all close by. Lake Windouree is also a short drive away. I'm glad I took up the recommendation. I'd happily stay here again.

A very classy hotel with friendly helpful staff. Only down side was nearness to a rail crossing with bells ringing to close gates. This was a concern to my wife who is a light sleeper. However I still rate this hotel as excellent.

I recommend Hotel Provincial and would stay there again. My room did not have a proper window -- just some shaded glass, which let some light through. Normally, that would be a deal breaker for me but the bed and bedding were so high quality and comfortable and the shower so powerful that it was a really nice one-night stay. (For a longer stay I might opt for a more expensive room type, which probably has actual windows). As I was there just overnight, I never saw anyone associated with the hotel. Check-in was done quickly and easily via a phone call and a lock box. (It would have been helpful if they had included the "area code" 03 on the sign at reception, which I needed to dial from my US phone). The main building is historical and attractive. I wish I had been there when the restaurant was open. It looked nice. The location is great. Right next to the train station and a short walk from the main historical center. Parking overnight is easy on the streets outside, though those spaces are metered during the day. The hotel itself has a parking lot, but it was unclear to me how to open the gate or whether there was a charge. Ballarat itself is also nice and interesting and worth a longer visit than I had time for. I hope to be back.

An oddly shaped room set out where the TV was mostly blocked from view in room 15. Limited snacks in mini bar. Very clean. Very comfortable. Beautiful decor in common area and corridors. Slightly plainer in room. Odd art work in room but beautiful throughout the hotel. Breakfast was 2/5.
