Hotels in de buurt van Australian Ex-Prisoners of War Memorial in Lake Wendouree

On the main road into the city from Geelong, 2 min walk to Coles and about 5 min drive into the city. Room was clean and good size with comfy chairs and small table for dining or work. Had Austar which was nice but really hard to figure out due to 3 different remotes, the main remote being in Chinese so that kinda made simply watching free to air a real drama.

Cons ...I chose this accommodation due to the pictures and facilities that were offered. I am most disappointed with not having a properly working gas heater in the apartment. I was expecting a log gas heater as stipulated but instead an old gas heater that has a fault in the filter and turns off. The other heater/cooler is not big enough for the floor space and took up to 3 hours to heat the room. As for the tiny heaters in the bedrooms that don't heat up anything. The bathroom lights/heat thing has one glob not working. The fan/light in the living room doesn't work. We tried as stated in the rules to turn it on. And yes we turned it on at the wall and tried the remote it came with. Motor needs repairing. As for complementary toiletries, four adults have to share one tiny shampoo and conditioner bottle and two small soaps for 3 nights. Lucky I took my own soap. One a 1/4 roll of loo paper as well. Not a big deal but for the amount paid, I should not have to bring my own loo paper. It took me so long to find cups, plates ect. That were spead out in diffrent cupboards. Put coffee cups in the cupboard above the kettle or even Maybe have them altogether to make it easier to find. I have stayed in some lovely places and unfortunately was very disappointed in this one for the price. This is a very expensive place to stay for very little. Coming from a warm climate to Ballarat and not being able to get warm is the most disappointing thing of all. No Netflix as stated, but a very old Austar set up. Lots of things on the facility page that definitely were not included. Perhaps state which apartment has what in your advertisement to help people make a choice. I thought they would all have the same amenities. At least the basics anyway. Paying almost $1000 for 3 nights I could have been in Palm cove for a week at Peppers Beach club. I might suggest to maybe put usb outlets in so travellers don't have to bring their own plugs. Pros... The only real positive thing was the main bed. Very comfortable and large. Was quite clean except the sheet wasn't on properly and wasn't folded under mattress as you would expect.

I can highly recommend Barkly Motorlodge in terms of the facilities they have for wheelchair access in Unit 17. It is well set up. Shower and toilet facilities are good. The room itself with the bathroom between the double bed and the single bed is ideal for carer/client. The noise of traffic at night from traffic was a little loud but that was my choice as I do not like sleeping in aircon preferring to open a window or two. Highly recommend the motel for its closeness to the main areas of the City and for its disabled facilities.

This motel is on the edge of the city centre and close to restaurants, supermarkets and other amenities. The bed was very comfortable and a real large bed (not two single mattresses stuck together as many places seem to offer). Our room had a sofa, table and 2 chairs, small fridge, kettle, toaster, and tea/coffee making facilities. TV only offers free--to-air but that was not a problem for us. Very clean and easy check-in check-out. Off-street parking, good value all round.

This place is 5/5. Fantastic location, super clean, great staff, big open room, lots of natural light and comfy bed. My only negative comment is the AC control panel light is SOOOOO bright, it lights up the entire room at night!

The hotel is next to the town's Stuart Street, about a ten minute walk from the train station. The suite is large, the room is large, the air conditioner is also powerful, the room is equipped with a refrigerator, a microwave oven, a washing machine and a dryer. The large dining table is really powerful and can be filled with things. There is no breakfast at the hotel, but you can check out the food at the Golden City Hotel at the intersection.

Quite nice hotel, clean and tidy. The booked room contains breakfast and is quite rich. Easy parking. The hotel is just around the Sovereign Hill and it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the Visitor Service Center.

So we stayed here for one night. We were wanting seperate rooms for kids and us, wanted a pool and/or spa bath. It has all. We had a family room. The staff were really friendly when booking, checking in, checking out and needing assistance. As soon as we checked it we wanted to jump in the pool (indoor heated pool) and saw it was covered up. We called to see if it was closed, and they said no they just like to limit it to one family at a time so he opened it up for us. It wasn't deep, appx 1.35m. It was warm clean. It had a few chairs and tables inside to leave your stuff. We were able to get pool towels from reception. It would have been good have a toilet in there, instead of having to go back to room (we were on top level). The room was clean and neat. TVs worked, air con worked which was great. Beds comfy. Had a desk, couch and dining table. Had a kettle, toaster and microwave with a mini bar fridge. Unfortunately no bowels, big plates or Cutlery. So it made things a little difficult. Didn't have a bench where you could do all that, just a cupboard where the kettle and all that were kept. We have a special needs child and her meals are very particular so having some space to make these would have been good. The bathroom was clean and big. The spa bath was big and comfortable. It was nice to relax in there. Maybe a small side table next to it would have been good. Overall it was a nice place to stay for a very reasonable price. I would stay here again.

Stayed 4 nights in a superior suite. The room is 39sq m which is reasonably spacious given it has two double beds, a sofa, a small kitchen table with 4 chairs and a writing bench along one wall. It comes with the usual kitchen appliances, microwave, small cook top with oven and fridge. Tea and coffee sachets are provided. If self catering the food preparation area is quite limited as the appliances take up all the kitchen bench. There is a wall heater and an air conditioner. The beds were reasonably comfortable. There is no safe in the room. The room is comfortable enough although there is no balcony or windows that can be fully opened so unless the door is kept open fresh air is limited. The place is very convenient to downtown and the station. A stroll to downtown is around 10 minutes. One issue was the noise on the Friday night - whether it was noisy people in the next door pub or noisy Friday night guests away for the weekend I don't know but there were some rowdy types disturbing the peace. I'd stay here again but probably only during the week.

This is a lovely hotel in the center of Ballarat. It's not hard to find restaurants and bars in the local area. HOWEVER, be aware of the nightclub downstairs. It runs until 3 in the morning and can be heard in rooms above. Some sound insulation, either for the nightclub or the rooms, would be fantastic.
