Ballarat Premier Apartments

非常高的性價比，在一個非常有澳洲的風情的老建築裏面

We were attracted to this place by the period rooms advertised. Most are probably lovely but we got suite 11b which looks like it has been converted from a block of garages or flat roofed outbuildings. It is completely character free, is not even accessed from within the property and has a somewhat awkward layout. It is clean, recently decorated and the beds were comfy but is an awkward shape. So reality did not meet expectations. There was no one on duty to allow us to pay for the chocolate bar we used. One bizarre thing- in my bedroom on top of the shelf I found a large sachet that was labelled as a product that would mask the odours of dead rodents! A bit off-putting. Happily no dead rodents spotted. As long as you know you're staying in a character room you'll be fine.

Elegant and comfortable apartment in great location with lots of street parking. Positives; location, styling, quiet. Negatives: poor soundproofing between two bedrooms could hear everything. Shower needs maintenance and fixture replacing. No dishwasher. No reception. Please note no lift if there are mobility issues.

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.

We stayed 5 nights in room 10, the signature suite. This is a stunning room - but we were disappointed that the spa bath didn't work, the kitchen tap dripped incessantly the whole time we were there, the bin was broken, my elderly aunt sat on the chair and the leg snapped off (suspect it was already broken as she is not heavy set). These are all things that would be easily sorted - if anyone could be contacted. I would say the communication is very poor - there are numbers to ring but nobody answers, and we are still waiting for a call back! A big let down as far as service goes. Luckily there were no parties or unruly guests, as there is honestly nobody you could get in touch with if there was. Having said all that - this really is the most beautiful room, and with a little bit of attention would meet up to its description.

Fantastic building, lot of heritage, really nice spacious suite, easy assess up very wide stairs. Bed was extremely comfortable and great sleep. Small car park out the back/side can have issue accessing with other vehicles parked in lane way servicing their businesses.

Most beautiful building and very fitting for a city with such history as Ballarat. We’ve stayed here twice and both times the rooms have been exceptional. Clean, extremely comfortable beds, gorgeous decor, beautiful chandeliers in all rooms and lovely spacious bathrooms. Would stay here every time if I could.

This is a great place to stay. Close to town centre, beautiful rooms, very clean, super comfy beds. There is no reception staff to speak of, we stayed here 4 nights and only ever saw the cleaner. You have to get your keys from the key safe at front of building. A text message is sent to your phone with your code to access that.

This is a marvellously renovated old building with big rooms with high ceilings and views from the windows. The furnishings were tasteful, the beds comfortable and there was an adequate kitchenette in our 2 bedroom apartment. Most days we had to park on the street outside as there were insufficient parking spaces but that was no problem. What was a problem and the only complaint was the three reverse cycle wall airconditioners could not cope with an unseasonably cold November. There was a warning not to turn the thermostat up too high if we wanted them to work - indicating previous guests had found a similar problem. They just could not warm up the rooms adequately with their high ceilings exacerbated by the airconditioners being near the ceiling. I have a feeling it may have been warm up there. It is a pity because otherwise the rooms were lovely but for the money we paid this was a disappointing experience. I would not stay here in winter.
