This place is 5/5. Fantastic location, super clean, great staff, big open room, lots of natural light and comfy bed. My only negative comment is the AC control panel light is SOOOOO bright, it lights up the entire room at night!

The location here is perfect – a few minutes from the railway station, and only 5-10 minutes walk from the main city centre. There is an excellent pub next door and a very pleasant cafe over the road. Although I’d booked a “standard room” it felt more like a small apartment – with a sitting and dining area, a good size kitchenette (microwave, huge fridge, gas hob etc … no oven) and a big bathroom. The wifi was good and I found the bed very comfortable. A few small negatives … My room was next to the pub and the sound-proofing was poor so I could hear music (though not late and not excessive). Also, the room and furnishings were a little shabby in paces and in need of some maintenance. So it’s 4 stars instead of 5. But I’ll certainly consider staying there again.

Ballarat flashed from Melbourne, the hotel is one step away from the train station and conveniently located. The sound of the train can be heard, and the hotel has earplugs at the bedside. But the staff is seriously insufficient on public holidays, and the front desk +housekeeping seems to be one person. Booked a room rate with breakfast, checkin was told that there was no breakfast, contacted Trip.com customer service to solve it

Pretty much run of the mill motel but it was clean and had an excellent location. The only draw back is it appears to be aging and some attempts to 'modernize' certain things were not well disguised. Despite it's aging appearance the room was large and had a very large screen TV, limited channel availability. Reception was friendly and helpful. If you were looking for short stay accommodation, nothing fancy, in a good location with most of the amenities you would expect in a motel, I would have to say YES to the Mid City Motel. I would have preferred to rate it 'Above Average' but could not quite bring it up to 'Very Good'.

This is a lovely hotel in the center of Ballarat. It's not hard to find restaurants and bars in the local area. HOWEVER, be aware of the nightclub downstairs. It runs until 3 in the morning and can be heard in rooms above. Some sound insulation, either for the nightclub or the rooms, would be fantastic.

The hotel is next to the town's Stuart Street, about a ten minute walk from the train station. The suite is large, the room is large, the air conditioner is also powerful, the room is equipped with a refrigerator, a microwave oven, a washing machine and a dryer. The large dining table is really powerful and can be filled with things. There is no breakfast at the hotel, but you can check out the food at the Golden City Hotel at the intersection.

The hotel has a long history, and you can feel the special cultural atmosphere as soon as you enter it. The elevator door still needs to be opened and closed manually, like some shooting scenes in the movie. The night of the stay, the front desk brother was warm, the service was thoughtful, the explanation was very patient and detailed, and said that the design of our passports was cool, from the color of the cover to the design of the first page. The dinner was eaten at the restaurant on the first floor that night, and they recommended red curry fish, which tasted very good. The hotel room is clean and tidy, the single bed room is booked, the heating is comfortable, the bathroom has a hot towel rack, which is very comfortable.

The room was clean, bed comfy and a hot shower. Very basic inside. After two showers, it had leaked through to the lounge and soaked the carpet. We had to block the front door surrounds with the extra pillows as the draft blowing through was very loud and kept waking us up! A sign on reception door said it was closed, please call. The phone was answered by fellow sitting at reception desk that we could see through window, he requested we come in, when asking about sign on the door, he ignored us. Car parking is rather tight, if you have a largish car. Cleaners were quite noisy early in the morning. This will certainly not be my first choice when looking to stay in Ballarat again, not good value for $$$

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.
