Ballarat B&Bs

Cons ...I chose this accommodation due to the pictures and facilities that were offered. I am most disappointed with not having a properly working gas heater in the apartment. I was expecting a log gas heater as stipulated but instead an old gas heater that has a fault in the filter and turns off. The other heater/cooler is not big enough for the floor space and took up to 3 hours to heat the room. As for the tiny heaters in the bedrooms that don't heat up anything. The bathroom lights/heat thing has one glob not working. The fan/light in the living room doesn't work. We tried as stated in the rules to turn it on. And yes we turned it on at the wall and tried the remote it came with. Motor needs repairing. As for complementary toiletries, four adults have to share one tiny shampoo and conditioner bottle and two small soaps for 3 nights. Lucky I took my own soap. One a 1/4 roll of loo paper as well. Not a big deal but for the amount paid, I should not have to bring my own loo paper. It took me so long to find cups, plates ect. That were spead out in diffrent cupboards. Put coffee cups in the cupboard above the kettle or even Maybe have them altogether to make it easier to find. I have stayed in some lovely places and unfortunately was very disappointed in this one for the price. This is a very expensive place to stay for very little. Coming from a warm climate to Ballarat and not being able to get warm is the most disappointing thing of all. No Netflix as stated, but a very old Austar set up. Lots of things on the facility page that definitely were not included. Perhaps state which apartment has what in your advertisement to help people make a choice. I thought they would all have the same amenities. At least the basics anyway. Paying almost $1000 for 3 nights I could have been in Palm cove for a week at Peppers Beach club. I might suggest to maybe put usb outlets in so travellers don't have to bring their own plugs. Pros... The only real positive thing was the main bed. Very comfortable and large. Was quite clean except the sheet wasn't on properly and wasn't folded under mattress as you would expect.

We were welcomed into the park and made our way to the cabin, first impressions certainly last. The holiday park is not like the pictures first up, so do your research before confirming a visit to see if it is something you are happy with. There was bits of our stairs missing and rubbish on the verandah (half a dozen open sugar packets and a toy of some sort) - also, an ashtray. For a family unit, a non smoking one, who has ashtrays anymore? It was dirty too, something to keep the toddler away from. Upon entry the cabin was suitable, neat, clean and tidy and suitable for our needs. The room with two bunks in it was VERY small. If there really was FOUR children in there, they would kill each other after a night or two. Upon further inspection, the cleaners really ignored a significant portion of the property. There were multiple lolly wrappers throughout, a pegged up chip packet in the wardrobe, empty chocolate milk bottle under the couch. NOTE: upon exit, we informed the staff and they said next time to tell them straight away and they will send the cleaners back, point taken, however it should never be in that state in the first place. TOILET: Missing a button and the pressure was terrible, it didnt flush everything down all the time.. (kinda ew). THE PARK: **The Park was smaller than first thought, felt a little old and dated and quite cramped but did the job for a few days. **Access to the swim centre next door was easy enough, just a quick walk and a show of your cabin key to enter (not sure what you would do if you had a site?) **The games room - as many people have said, a lot was broken and didnt work. The kids still had fun playing pretend however. **No coffee machine, - everywhere advertised the coffee machine for use in the camp kitchen. This was $3 but displayed an error message on the screen. DEVESTATING. (well for me anyway). SUMMARY Ok for a few nights, check the room (if you have a cabin) is clean and provide feedback ASAP if you are not happy, staff seem happy to help. 3 Stars

It's two or three kilometers away from the city center. It's like a resort. There is a reception at the entrance. It takes three to five minutes to walk in. The cottage, the first-floor bungalows in the townhouse, and free parking next to it. It was enough for three people. It was not so crowded. The door was open outdoors. It was not the same as staying in a hotel. It was good. You could sit at the door and watch the stars. It felt quieter than the hotel and no neighbors disturbed. Close to Shufenshan Gold Mine Town. If you want to go out for dinner, you have to go outside the yard to find it. On the walk, you do n’t have to go out.

It's a motel. The location is relatively good, in the center of the city, it is quite convenient to eat and travel around. Hotel facilities are average and sanitary conditions are average. There is parking lot. The breakfast was good.

We stayed in the Grand Room (No 1). The room was very big and had an inviting fire going when we arrived. We did arrive a little earlier than the check in time of 2.00pm and found parking was a bit of an issue. The car parks out the back were full (I assume with cleaning staff) and there were no staff on site. There was no parking out the front - a very busy church or school across the road. We had to park out on the main street and walk our bags around. We made a call on a mobile phone number we had and they organised a key quickly for us which allowed us into our room early. We went out and grabbed lunch and got back around 2.00pm and the car parks were starting to empty out by then and we were able to snag a car park straight out the front. Room was beautiful and full of character. Was very well appointed. If you have problems with stairs I would make sure I book a ground floor room. I couldn't see a lift and there were no staff on site to assist with bags.

The hotel has a long history, and you can feel the special cultural atmosphere as soon as you enter it. The elevator door still needs to be opened and closed manually, like some shooting scenes in the movie. The night of the stay, the front desk brother was warm, the service was thoughtful, the explanation was very patient and detailed, and said that the design of our passports was cool, from the color of the cover to the design of the first page. The dinner was eaten at the restaurant on the first floor that night, and they recommended red curry fish, which tasted very good. The hotel room is clean and tidy, the single bed room is booked, the heating is comfortable, the bathroom has a hot towel rack, which is very comfortable.
