The Provincial Hotel

Traveled to Ballarat for three nights at The Provincial. As a family with two kids, we booked a two-bedroom apartment with a King bed in the master and two singles in the other. There was plenty of space for my entire family and all our belongings. Nice modern interior, that still has class and elegance. Plush carpet with thick underlay that is super comfortable to walk on. All exterior windows are covered by plantation shutters and double-glazed that mutes the noise from the nearby railway crossing, however as a light sleeper, it was still loud enough to keep me awake at night. Luckily, the hotel provides earplugs that helped drown out the remaining signal bell but does nothing if/when trains decide to honk. All the interior doors were also solid core timber that did a superb job blocking out noise from our kids. However, the hinges could use a dose of WD-40, as they were very creaky. Utensils and tableware are provided, along with a spacious fridge and electric cooktop. Unlike other serviced apartments, the Provincial cleans your dirty dishes daily 👍 There was an oddity with the provided oven tray that didn't fit in the oven, and there is no microwave. On our first night here, there were some intoxicated individuals outside our room trying to gain entry. While they ultimately gave up, we felt a bit unsafe when there was no 24-hour security and the doors lacked chains or guards for added security. Overall, a very comfortable stay, 5/5! We'll be back :)

Central location and wonderful old world charm. Comfortable fresh room with very comfortable bed and premium bedding & amenities. Lovely large bathroom and rain shower with good water pressure for total relaxation after a long day. Room was well soundproofed and no sound of traffic etc...to disturb your sleep. Onsite parking.I only wished we could get a nightcap after 8pm at Lola Restaurant. Staff were polite and helpful.
