The Provincial is a wonderful choice for an overnight stay in Ballarat. The hotel is beautifully presented, with clean, comfortable rooms and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel relaxed as soon as you arrive. The location is ideal—central and convenient, yet still quiet enough for a great night’s sleep. Staff were friendly and attentive, and everything from check-in to check-out was seamless. A perfect blend of comfort, charm, and convenience. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Ballarat for a short stay.

Quaint little hotel near amenities
Fantastic location and walking distance to many places. Friendly staff, comfortable bed. While rooms are small it was more than enough for an overnight business trip. Would recommend and stay again.

This was one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had - the room was spectacular. Bed was like a cloud - dressed in wonderful linen and fantastic pillows. The room was exactly as shown in the photos - clean, exceptional staff, everything beautifully designed and styled. Would love to stay there again.

Decor is beautiful, our room was very clean, spacious and very quiet, location of hotel is perfect, parking is great and breakfast was very good.
On the negative side there is only instant coffee in the room (yuck), only one towel per person and the room servicing carts were parked outside our room all evening and were still there next morning… not a “luxury” experience.

Love the provincial! Stayed many times. Beautiful, comfortable rooms and the best location. I will never understand how a luxury priced hotel doesn’t have sound proofing against those boom gates going all night. Light sleepers beware!
Room was a great size and quite comfortable. The restaurant in the facility was excellent and staff very helpful.

Fantastic boutique hotel
Amazing hotel with the best customer service ever! We were here for a wedding weekend and they helped us with early check ins and late check outs plus cutlery/plates for the bridal suite. Fantastic French restaurant downstairs. Just bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper due to nearby train tracks. Would stay here again
