We had a separate lounge and kitchen. Had everything we needed. It was absolutely perfect. Lovely huge bed. So comfy. Very clean. No low chairs. Seating was very good. It was very quiet. No stairs. Car parking at door. Huge desk and chair to do a bit of work at. Powerpoint locations were important to us, and were just where we needed them. Electric blanket on the bed was so nice. Nice sized table to eat meals. Walk to food outlets and supermarket. You could not fault it. The staff were helpful and very nice and friendly. We will definitely stay there again and recommend it to family/friends.

    I was thrilled that the begonias in the botanic gardens were still in full bloom ( mid April) . I was moved by the exhibit on the Eureka Stockage. I was impressed with the large number of elegant historic buildings in the city.

    Very historic town and still retains lots of its original architecture. I did run out of things to do so did travel to Daylesford for one day. Otherwise, it is a nice place to visit, more than once, and does offer some lovely tourist spots.

    Beautiful courtyard in the centre of the apartments to look out into from the lounge room. Tables & chairs outside for when the sun comes out. Friendly staff. Comfy beds. Clean apartment. Daily servicing if required. Quiet & beautiful surroundings in whole hotel complex. Service station & meal options nearby. Our main reason for booking was a reasonable price in school holidays when others triple the price. Right opposite Sovereign Hill which is great for families. We’ll be back!

    I had to come to Ballarat to care for a very very sick family member, and the staff have fallen over themselves to help me in any way they can. And if you’re up here for a holiday, the location is epic - right across the road from Soverign Hill. The spa baths are the biggest I have come across in a hotel bathroom 👌🏼great place - highly recommend.

    The hotel is simply superb in every way and rare to find, from the warm welcome we received, the breakfasts and the hospitality we were shown. The owners have created a paradise in what was just an old building. We would recommend Hotel Vera to anyone travelling to the Ballarat region.

    Location is perfect in the centre of Ballarat. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Our early arrival and additional room request were both handled without fuss by reception. We had dining arrangements made elsewhere so didn't get to eat in the hotel. We will definitely stay again.
