Top Federation University Australia Hotel Reviews

Craig's Royal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were moved to a ground floor courtyard room with spa so that my aging husband could manage access as the lift to upper floors was apparently out of order. We enjoyed the courtyard room and two quiet very comfortable nights. Only gripe would be the standard of kettle in the room which had to be replaced as the handle at the top burnt my hand. The replacement then had a cord which could not reach the nearest electric point so had to be put on the carpet near the entrance to be used. Not ideal either! We enjoyed the lounge and cafe areas and the dining room for dinner. One item on the specials menu for dinner turned out not to be available. Seafood orders need to be checked more vigorously, I suspect. As interstate visitors we enjoyed staying in Craig's Royal Hotel and may visit again. Thank you for all staff members for their care and attention."

Quest Ballarat

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely staff, very accommodating and friendly. Room was great and perfect location."

Sovereign Park Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"A really convenient location easy to get to many of Ballarat's sights. The room was spacious and clean. Everything you need was there. The checkin process was easy as was checkout. The pool looked great as did the other amenities. The only thing that bothered us which was'nt a huge deal but it was the rooms outside light stays on at night and a big glow comes through the glass panel of the door."

Begonia City Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"Was really good no complaints at all."

Ballarat Colonial Motor Inn & Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Lack of information for the pool usage. We were told it was open to 8 o'clock but all the lights are off and the cover was on yet the door is open."

Central City Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Location"

NRMA Ballarat Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"Great budget cabin in a well equipped park Friendly staff and a good location - definitely would return"

Ballarat Suites

8/10 Good

"Had a great stay. Will stay again. I chose a room with a bath and was delighted to see it was one of those tubs with a couple of steps inside to be able to sit, lay and stretch out. Sadly, my 'do not disturb' sign was missing, so I was woken earlier than I'd have liked on a Sunday - but in the scheme of things that is a small gripe in an otherwise lovely stay."

Mid City Ballarat

10/10 Excellent

"I lost my swipe card that opens my door and it was easily replaced at reception i just had to show my photo id"
