Jason V TripAdvisor review

I stayed at the hotel with my family and was disappointed with the overall standard. The Superior Room was acceptable but did not meet the expectation implied by the name. It felt like a standard room that was newly renovated rather than a premium offering. The two-bedroom apartment was old, dated, and clearly in need of refurbishment. While front desk staff were polite, they demonstrated limited knowledge of the local area and were unable to provide even basic recommendations outside the hotel. Guest were giving each other ideas of what to do or where to dine. The breakfast offering was unacceptable for the price. At $30 per person, it represents very poor value. The food was unappealing, poorly presented, and in some cases not fresh. The fruit appeared to be at least a day old. Breakfast staff lacked professionalism and energy, and the service felt disengaged. In addition, the chef did not understand the difference between well-done eggs and runny eggs, which is a basic expectation at this price point. I stayed at the hotel solely because of my Accor membership. Based on this experience, I will not return. Management needs to materially lift standards across accommodation, food quality, and service if the hotel intends to justify its pricing and brand positioning.

Nice surrounds but dated

We booked 2BR apartment for 4 nights for a weekend wedding. The accommodation is very much in need of an upgrade. All aspects are 30 years out of date, dark and gloomy, worn, badly patched. We slept and showered there but then escaped to more pleasant surroundings at all other times. Expensive for what it is.

Satisfactory and a successful conference venue

TripAdvisor rating 3.0/5

Elaine S TripAdvisor review

This was a pleasant place for a conference. I liked the dispersed layout, and the attention they have given to attractive grounds. The conference catering was good in relation to refreshments, but the food at dinner was poor in my view. I got steak. and it was inedible. This was the same for at least one other on my table. The staff were friendly but I felt sorry for them. There really weren't enough of them, and it was impossible for them too attend promptly to customer's needs. The conference ran very smooth;y, which was in part due to the hotel team. My "Superior" room was pleasant. I didn't like one wall being all mirror. It had a reverse cycle A/C unit, which was great. I could control the temperature and noise - so often a problem in hotels. It was quiet and the bed was comfy.

Thank you for your detailed review. We’re glad to hear the conference went smoothly and that you enjoyed the grounds and your "Superior" room. We're also happy to know the A/C and bed were to your liking. We apologize for the experience you had with the dinner, particularly the steak, and we will review this with our kitchen team to ensure better quality going forward. We're also sorry that the staff was stretched during your visit, and we'll look into ways to improve service efficiency in busy times. Your feedback is valuable, and we hope to welcome you back for a more seamless experience in the future.

Clean and spacious room, great on site restaurant

I stayed at Mercure Ballarat to attend a work related training. The hotel is conveniently located, short drive to the town centre, yet sits in a horgeous large manicured garden setting. The room was spacious, clean and well maintained with decor of old world charm. The huge pleasant surprise was the on site restaurant Amaro. As I was doing the training all day, I chose to dine at the on site restaurant for convenience. Joiree and Sheila at the restaurant were just delightful. Both remembered my name, and service was perfect - attentive but not intrusive. Food was great as well. The first night I opted for the steak - amazing quality and value. It was so good I returned the second night and enjoyed perfectly grilled fish - crunchy skin, soft and fluffy inside! Menu is not extensive, but covers all the classics and drink list is more than satisfactory. Great service and food. Could not be happier. I will definitely choose Mercure Ballarat again next time I visit the area.

Thank you for your fantastic feedback and perfect rating! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay, our beautiful gardens, and the spacious rooms. Joiree and Sheila will be delighted to hear your kind words about their service, and we’re so pleased you enjoyed dining at Amaro. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Ballarat! — The Mercure Ballarat Team
