There is nothing that makes your heart sink faster than arriving on a long weekend to find that the computer system had incorrectly booked in for the wrong dates one day out (not our fault the print out was correct). The staff though handled it perfectly ringing around to find us alternative accommodation. Luckily they found us somewhere close by.... More

I spent 3 weeks at the Comfort Inn - Sovereign Hill, although initially in the Barracks quarters (which I probably wouldn't recommend for a long stay) found the staff more than helpful in placing me in more comfortable accommodation. The staff were both friendly and very helpful and made the stay enjoyable. The cooking facilities in the common area were... More

My husband and I stayed one night at the Comfort Inn Sovereign Hill while visiting Victoria. The rooms are spotlessly clean and beds are great. Didn't like the fact that we had to leave our car in the carpark , a fair distance from the rooms and carry our luggage up and down stairs. Had I known that before I... More

Thank you for your review on Trip Advisor. Pleased to hear the room was most satisfactory, particularly our new pillow top mattresses for a great night sleep. I am sorry you were allocated a 2nd storey room and found the stairs an inconvenience. We certainly would have allocated you a ground floor room if we knew accessibility was an issue.... More

I was accompanying my sons school camp and whilst happy to be on call all day, the night times I wanted silence and I got it in my lovely double room. It had a really comfortable bed, the bathroom was clean, the shower had good pressure and the toiletries provided smelled nice. I found the continental breakfast in my cupboard... More

Thank you for your feedback - delighted to read that you found our accommodation comfortable and to your liking. With regards to the breakfast arrangements, although it is satisfactory we also believe we can do better. That's we why are shortly to undergo a major refurbishment of our reception area which will include the provision of a breakfast restaurant in... More

If you're visiting Sovereign Hill and are looking for somewhere good to stay this is the place. It really is quite a nice place in an even better location but be careful when booking your room. Unfortunately I have a sorry tale to tell about our experience. We booked a room for two adults and one child and as we... More

We had a great relaxing time away. We went away for the weekend for our 13th year anniversary without our adorable kids, and it was a good getaway. The accommodation was all we needed for the two of us, it was nice,clean and updated, and the view was great. Overall a great weekend away..

We paid the extra cost for the Heritage Getaway/Governor’s Room, (It was disappointing though to have no Electric Blanket on the Bed considering how cold Ballarat gets at night). It is a great concept to have the room only metres away from Sovereign Hill, but one does Pay Extra for the privilege. We have paid less $ for King Bed... More

Good, clean, excellent location fir Sovereign Hill Old town. Good breakfast (although The orrder was wrong the first morning, staff were apologetic and we did not pay for it. The next morning's breakfast was awesome) Can recommend for sure.

We booked the Easter family experience package and the staff were exceptionally helpful agreeing to apply the advertised discount for our single parent family (one adult, two children). We stayed in a newly re-furbished room which met our needs perfectly, the continental breakfast arrangement perfect for kids, beds extremely comfortable and new bathroom was really well appointed. It was a... More

We booked the "experience package" consisting of entry to Sovereign Hill, the Light & Sound Show, Dinner and Light Breakfast. We weren't disappointed. The buildings from the exterior fit into the atmosphere of the Sovereign Hill attraction but inside they present as a reasonably appointed Motel Room where everything worked, the staff went out of their way to be helpful...
