What a great historical hotel in the heart of Ballarat. The room was up to date and the staff was helpful with our luggage. We ate in the hotel restaurant and the food was delicious and the service excellent. There was no problem with parking on site, especially upon our late night return from the Sovereign Hill Aura event.

90th Birthday lunch
Pros:

Last Sunday (Easter Sunday) we celebrated my dad's 90th birthday at Oscars and I cannot say just how happy and grateful we are to have chosen this venue for our little lunch celebration. Though our group was only very small (10 in the end) we had our own private room which was very lovely and nice and quiet. All the staff were fantastic and so helpful and obliging and friendly. The food (we all chose what we liked from the great menu) was delicious - everyone loved what they chose and they were happy to accommodate us bringing a cake - supplying us with everything we needed. I cannot recommend Oscars highly enough....we all loved it and even one of our party from Seaford is now planning to have her 80th birthday here next year!!! Thank you Oscars and your fabulous staff for a great lunch event. :)

Highly recommend
Pros:

Huge clean room with high ceilings and french doors onto own balcony. Comfortable bed and huge double shower. Accommodation is on the first floor so there are stairs to climb. We ate in the restaurant both nights and the food and service was excellent. Staff were very pleasant. Would love to stay again. Only one small fault was the bath towels, they were well worn and in need of replacement.
