    Spacious two-bedroom apartment with good heating and a clean bathroom made for a cozy stay. The restaurant on-site was a pleasant surprise, serving delicious meals. Just a short drive to local attractions, although some areas can get a bit noisy. Friendly staff added to the experience!

    A Great Stay Near Bakery Hill

    I chose the Mercure for my visit to Bakery Hill, driven by my interest in its historical significance and vibrant atmosphere. The hotel's location was perfect for my explorations, and I was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of the staff, who ensured all my needs were promptly met. I particularly enjoyed the delicious meals at the bistro, where the menu offered a satisfying variety, complemented by their excellent wine selection. The outdoor swimming pool was also a lovely touch for relaxation after a day of activities.

    Minor updates needed in the bathroom.

    We recently stayed at the Mercure for a one-night stopover on our way to Melbourne. The spacious courtyard room was a highlight, allowing us to park right beside it. We appreciated the clean and comfortable accommodations, along with the peaceful ambiance, which provided a nice retreat after a long drive. The babbling brook and beautiful gardens offered a lovely atmosphere for a stroll. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home.

    I couldn't recommend more this hotel.

    I have visited this room twice—once for an exam and again for a seminar—and each time I found it to be very clean and comfortable. The bed was particularly good, though I felt it could benefit from additional bench space and more seating options.

    One minor drawback was the lack of a proper table and chairs, as I had to manage with only one chair. This made it challenging for me to work comfortably on my tasks.

    Excellent Stay for Business at Mercure Ballarat Hotel & Convention Centre

    The room I was in featured comfortable beds and chairs, making it easy to unwind after a long day of meetings. The hotel’s grounds were beautifully maintained, providing a lovely environment to wake up to each morning. I also took advantage of the on-site fitness center, which allowed me to stay active, and the day spa was an added bonus for relaxation. The staff was attentive and accommodating, which further enhanced my experience at the hotel.

    Bathroom shower outdated.
