Newington hotels in Ballarat

"Great!"

"We absolutely loved the old grandeur of this building - with surviving furniture and decor. Everything was old and glorious - i dont mind rough around the edges as this in itself tells a story of survival against the odds! These old buildings are very expensive to upkeep so the exterior needs attention, as does window frames. I can only wish that the property owner is budgeting for ongoing upgrades. Its important to stay where money is needed. We stayed in the royal suite - it was beautiful, a grand old women, still vey beautiful but in need of love! The evening staff were not the most helpful - the young boy was great but his blond coworker was a little rude! Again the grandeur of the building still made our stay more than worthwhile. Loved meeting a local named David on arrival- he was very knowledgeable and looked part of the furniture. Thank you for our experience Craigs Royal Hotel!"

"Very comfortable home, exactly as described. Bed was very comfortable. Nice quiet area. Communication and instructions from owner the was fantastic "

"The rooms are great"

"Good"

"Bit disappointed. Received an E Mail at 1.30pm on my way to the Motel advising that I had to use a pin number for my room. This was a bit late as luckily, I have my E Mails on my phone. When I arrived, there was no one at reception (3.00 pm in the afternoon) and didn't see any staff the 3 days that I was there. Room was good but a bit dated. Parking was also unusual as there didn't seem to be enough for all of the units."

"Staff were fantastic!"

"The room was nice and large and the beds were comfy. It was clean, however there was still rubbish in the bin from previous guests. Also the reception closes early and had to ring a couple of times before I got an answer to be able to get a code for the after hours box. But overall a good place to stay close to the middle of town"

"I stayed at RACV Goldfields resort for 1 night as I was in Ballarat for the marathon. I couldnt believe the size of the room when I opened the door, it was huge, it even had a spa bath! I had to go back into my emails to check how much I paid for the night, as surely I paid much more than what I thought! But no, it was so reasonable priced for the room I was given. The beds were huge, it was all so clean. The beautiful pool was warmed just right, the under cover spa was amazing. All perfect for post run recovery. I really didnt want to leave! Next time I will bring the kids as they would have loved the resort too!! I really cant fault my stay. I would absolutely recommend this hotel!"
