Sovereign Hill Hotel is super convenient when visiting Sovereign Hill. Only a few minutes from Ballarat town centre, everything is close. There is on site parking, and rooms are a short walk from the car. Our family room had been clearly refurbished for the buildings age. Everything was clean and the room had plenty of space. Beds could do with updating, but still comfortable. Great affordable accommodation.

Stayed here for 3 nights with my husband and 2 teenagers. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Our King size bed was comfortable but there were bunks for our kids that weren’t so comfortable, maybe I should have asked for 2 single beds. Found the location great with access to Sovereign hill via a separate entrance, so can come and go during the day you visit Sovereign Hill. There is an option to book a Continental breakfast which we had every morning that we were very impressed with. We stayed in the colonial room .

We had a fantastic 2 night stay. The staff were very helpful and kind. To the security guard that checked us in after hours, to the receptionists (dealt with 3), to the breakfast staff and chef! We have dietary requirements and they went above and beyond for us. Very appreciative. The room was very very comfortable. Loved it! Will return!

Great historical site

Beautiful and historical site. The service is great, reasonably priced, great buffet option. We stayed 2 nights with kids. Had to walk around the site to reach sovereign hill when there was a door available for the guests like me but apparently my card was not given the access although we have valid tickets to the sites. Perhaps I need to request but they could ask us. The facilities inside the room are practicable but old.i have to hold the kettle to make coffee. The king bed made of two singles and due for replacement. When they cleaned the room it was half done the top bunk bed was not done.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the room was very clean, spacious and bed really comfortable . The bathroom basin had a crack through it which was a shame but this is an old property and just needs some love. The courtyard off our room had tall weeds and broken pickets on the fence which was disappointing it would have been nice to sit out there and enjoy the view . Having said that it was really comfortable, well located and we would stay again.

Access to sovereign hill is just a short walk away. Relatively quiet grounds with private parking. Room itself was small and not worth the money. It's in dire need of a renovation. The furniture desperately needs replacing. The tables were scratched and the chairs were stained. Bathroom was relatively clean.

The reception staff were friendly and helpful. The Governor's room we stayed in well facilitated. Unfortunately, we ould not get the split system to work,which proved not much of an issue as the bed was worm and cosy. The overhead light fixture needing a goo dusting. I would recommend this accomodation.
