Really enjoyed the unique and beautiful room. Staff were lovely. Parking was easy. The only downside was the location, close to the train station which was a bit noisy.

The Provincial is a beautiful old heritage hotel in a great location in Ballarat however since my last stay I can see that the love and care is not as good as it was and unfortunately the new owners did not have a liquor license yet so it felt as though the Hotel was just not firing on all cylinders.

Great location close to Ballarat CBD, train station and restaurants.
We were in Ballarat attending the marathon festival - location central and close to start/finish line.

System here a few times, good hotel and clean nice rooms. Only issue, says sound proof, not all rooms ate, so make sure you get a room
Away from the train station side, the noise from train will keep you up.

Great place, Art Nouveau style but done up recently. Currently no liquor license so can't sell you alcohol with the meal but that didn't bother us. Nice restaurant that's part of the hotel. Our room (the double suite) is a bit noisy due to train line nearby but they provide earplugs. Very comfortable stay and we were made to feel very welcome. That was our third stay and we will stay again!

Beautiful presentation room had everything that I love in a hotel room. Clean, tea coffee and biscuits. Fridge with wine and beer available for purchase. Iron and ironing board double shower. Room very quiet even though it is very near the rail station. I would recommend this to anyone.
