Love the provincial! Stayed many times. Beautiful, comfortable rooms and the best location. I will never understand how a luxury priced hotel doesn’t have sound proofing against those boom gates going all night. Light sleepers beware!

Love this place. Don’t let the carpark fool you. It’s just gorgeous inside. The room is stunning, spacious and super comfortable. Easy to walk to restaurants but don’t miss Lola’s downstairs at the hotel. It’s exceptional!

Located too close to the railway crossing so it was still noisy even with double glazed windows in the room. Mattress was uncomfortable, need to update mattress. Would have preferred some cutlery and plates in the room. Otherwise great location, clean and easy parking provided.

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.
