Extremely impressed
Pros:

Hotel Vera Ballarat exceeded my expectations. The building has been magnificently restored in a beautifully presented hotel. One of the best presented hotels and rooms that I have ever stayed at. Loved that all products and items in the room were sourced locally. Staff were super welcoming and helpful with suggestion of places to eat etc. Bonus was I was able to charge my EV onsite overnight.

A superbly styled hotel which oozes old world charm in a great location coupled with great hosts.
Pros:

A beautifully decorated former "surgeon's residence" a stone's throw from Ballarat CBD. Brimming with old world charm and tasteful fittings the hotel exudes style and comfort. The attached restaurant "Babae" was also exceptional for an "in-house" degustation experience. The hotel hosts - David and Martin - make you welcome from the moment you arrive until you leave. The service was flawless and other amenities including the quality hair and bathroom products were first rate. The room was quiet and reasonably spacious with a comfortable king-size bed. A wonderful stay overall.

Cons:

Hard to find fault as the hosts have done an exceptional job overall. Off street parking is available but it is a tight turning circle so best try outside although there is plenty available.

An unforgettable stay that felt warm, inspiring, and incredibly comfortable
Pros:

We absolutely loved the hotel we stayed at last night. From the outside, it looks like an old, classic building, but the moment you step inside, it feels like a completely different world. The interior design is incredibly artistic, yet at the same time it gives you a warm, home-like feeling that I truly adore. The ceilings on each floor are impressively high, which makes the space feel open and airy, and sleeping in the bed was unbelievably comfortable—so comfortable that it’s hard to even find the right words to describe the feeling. Every corner of the hotel reflects thoughtful attention to detail, and you can really tell how much care went into the design. The only regret we had was not being able to try the breakfast, as the chef was on holiday during our stay. Next time we come back, we will definitely make a point of trying the breakfast and other meals. We’re already looking forward to returning.

Cons:

Nothing
