We recently stayed at the Reid's Guest House and found it to very affordable, comfortable and clean. thankyou for the staff for a nice priced accomadation. We only stayed one night as we were in Ballarat for a family illness, so we didnt want to pay a fortune as it was a unexpected trip. At the Reid's they made us... More

We can cope with tired and old, but we do like things to be a bit clean. The linen was stained (dirty? eek.. I hate to think). There were false nails in the bathroom on the floor... It felt a bit like being in an episode of Criminal Minds.

What an adventure! Like stepping into the wild west of Australia, little has changed in this grand old building, its easy to imagine those old days of the grandure of yesteryear. The room was ample in size and clean. The bed was very comfortable with crisp snowy white sheets, and the tea and coffe making supplies were generous to say... More

We stayed here for two weeks at the end of October/start of November 2012. I find it interesting reading other reviews and seeing how people have a different perspective on the same place. The "unsavoury characters" mentioned in other reviews were nothing but pleasant and polite whenever our paths crossed during our stay and I certainly wouldn't be deterred from... More

This motel is right next to Ballarat railway station where trains run throughout the night and annoucements over the loud speaker start at 3pm which can be heard clearly and loudly from the motel. In addition, the windows rattled in the wind and other guests were coming and going until quite late. Unsavoury characters loiter outside of the motel which... More

No frills, low budget cost effective accommodation. All I could ask for is a warm bed and hot shower and I got both. I booked a bed in a room that accommodates 4 but I was lucky enough to be the only one in the room. Even if full it would not have worried me. Staff member was excellent with... More

I totally agree with the review on febuary. its an original period house turned into accommodation. great old feeling with original ceiling painting and amazing lead lighting windows. I didn't expect much for $75 but we got room with seperate beds, tv, heating, coffee and tea, cutlery, clean bathroom and as a surprise i found out that the beds have... More

In over twenty years of travel all over the world this easily rates as the worst place I have ever stayed at. First, I arrived at 9pm and they had locked the front door. I had to ring them to let me in. This place hasn't seen any renovation or maintenance moat likely in the last 50 years. In case... More

As soon as you view the guesthouse from the street you can recognise a heritage building. The entrance floor has a beautiful original tiled tessilated pattern. The ceilings are high and there is a grand wooden staircase leading upstairs. If you look up you will see an original painted fresco on the domed ceiling. There are many original leadlight windows...
