the hotel was pretty good the beds were nice I got to test them out VERY well 😉HOWEVER the buffet was kinda below average the waiter accidentally ( I hope ) dropped a fork on my brother Sam he is still in pain. The food Wasnt very good either no hash browns or pancakes or waffles 😭😭😭. Also no Nutella And there was also MULTIPLE hairs in our food. I do not recommend eating there. Over all the buffet experience was a 1/5 starts. And the hotel was 3/5 starts. I took 2 stars away because it was haunted and the tv was kinda broken and the toilet was also very leaky and sprained EVERYWHERE. Overall sovereign Hill was pretty good Ig. I added some photos at the bottem to show you how much hair there was. ( there are 7 hairs in the photo )

“It is the small things that matter with service ”

The Governor’s room was a nice size with lovely windows overlooking the lawn and flower beds. The ensuite was also a good size with excellent natural light. Inexplicably we had two consecutive days when the room service did not remove used coffee cups. The linen was all changed and the room made up nicely. On day one, we rang reception to mention the oversight of cup replacement and a staffer came with clean cups but did not remove the used ones. To our disbelief the same issue occurred the next day. The tone of the lady was that we were a nuisance seeking clean coffee cups. Thankfully the next day was a man who was very apologetic and took the used cups with him when bringing clean ones. I am happy to pay 💰 for something different but I have basic expectations with the service, which certainly were not met on our visit. Loved Ballarat, enjoyed sovereign hill but some staff need a little bit more training in room service.

“Perfect for Sovereign visits”

It was my second stay at the Sovereign Hill Hotel, I was warmly welcomed, but they had forgot to provide my room with twin beds, however this was rectified by adding a roll in and I enjoyed chatting to the staff while they set it up.

It was my second stay at the Sovereign Hill Hotel, I was warmly welcomed, but they had forgot to provide my room with twin beds, however this was rectified by adding a roll in and I enjoyed chatting to the staff while they set it up. The room was well equipped and clean, but a little dated. The accommodation is set in several buildings and feels like a 1800s township. We went to Aura at Sovereign Hill and it was great to be able to access the show through a private gate. The included buffet breakfast was tasty and plentiful. If you're going to Sovereign Hill, it's a great place to stay.

“Basic but good but I wouldn't stay there if you aren't visiting Sovereign Hill”

We stayed in one of the family rooms which had a large double bed and a set of bunks. As you can only book by calling them, I asked for a family room for 2 adults, 2 kids. The top bunk wasn't made up which was a bit of a hassle as it's quite high and we had booked 2 kids. The room also had a decent… lisää

We stayed in one of the family rooms which had a large double bed and a set of bunks. As you can only book by calling them, I asked for a family room for 2 adults, 2 kids. The top bunk wasn't made up which was a bit of a hassle as it's quite high and we had booked 2 kids. The room also had a decent sized fridge and tea and coffee making facilities but no microwave or other kitchen facilities. The beds were comfortable. The hotel is quite a long way from anything except Sovereign Hill so it was a bit disappointing that there were no food options at the hotel. They have a buffet breakfast but it only runs during Victorian school holidays. If you arrive by train like we did, and don't have a car, make sure you pick up some breakfast options before you go, as there is nothing until Sovereign Hill opens at 10am. It would be good if they could consider having breakfast packs available, even to purchase, plus basic cutlery and crockery in the rooms so people are able to have breakfast. There was no dinner options either so we just ordered UberEats. Good things are there were biscuits and hot chocolate powder in the rooms, so at least we had something, but there were only 3 biscuits for 4 people and the tiny carton of UHT milk in the fridge doesn't go far. My husband had to walk back into Ballerat to get extra supplies. The good thing is it's very close to Sovereign Hill and you can ask at reception for a card so you can go back and forth during your day there. Doesn't get you in any earlier, but it's a short walk to go book the photo experience and mine tour if you want to ensure you get to do those. We decided to stay there because we wouldn't have a car and Sovereign Hill was the main purpose of our visit, but the lack of food options nearby made it not so good.
