We arrived and were met with a glowing smile by Jason the hotel manager, my room was beautiful, one of the most amazing sleeps I have ever had. Famous for their high tea and 5 star luxury, it is definitely one for the bucket list, Well done no longer a secret.

My partners and I spent a weekend in a balcony suite at the hotel as a treat for my partner's birthday. Our suite was lovely and luxurious. The bed was very comfortable and the staff provided excellent service. They were very friendly and personable, helping me arrange a birthday cake, flowers and vases. The continental breakfasts were good; not a... More

Will certainly return for another wonderful experience at Craig's. The Hotel has been refurbished to a high standard and all the staff are to be commended on their friendly and helpful attitude. The bathroom was roomy and very clean,the bed was comfy .

We stayed for 2 nights and chose this beautifully restored high-Victorian era hotel for its position in the centre of Ballarat and its reputation.We were not disappointed. The price was high for a regional area - $275 a night, but this included a continental breakfast, complimentary valet parking, complimentary wi-fi, bottled water and newspaper.

Will either save money and stay elsewhere or spend the... More

Generally the room was well maintained although we found the lighting rather poor for reading. There was only one coat hangar in the wardrobe aside from the two occupied by bathrobes, however...

We stayed there for one night. The rooms were nice and clean. However they reminded me more of a museum rather than a hotel. You could get the feeling of what it meant to stay there 100 years ago. I am personally more fan of modern hotels, but it was a nice experience. The continental breakfast was OK, but not... More

If you visit Ballarat, the only place to stay is Craig's. There's beauty in the surroundings and the personal attention from staff outstanding. After six days I did not want to leave ever. The refurbishing to its early days of glory have suceeded as I remember how it looked in the 60's when I lived in Ballarat and would attend... More

It was so lovely to go to Ballarat and stay in a hotel that has been renovated from top to bottom! The rooms are fantastic - with suites, doubles and twin rooms. Gorgeous renovation with everything thought through carefully. The beds were comfortable, the pillows gorgeous, the doonas perfect and everything you could want. Only a couple of little things... More
