We were on the 1st level, with rooms above us, the occupants upstairs were very noisy, until 10pm.
I didn’t like the confinement of the room.
We dined at Lola Restaurant, a bit pricey, the food was delicious. However the 2 course special with a Wine or Beer was good value.
The car parking is hit and miss as patrons dining at the restaurant take the parking. Otherwise their is street parking meters.
Very spacious room, clean and comfortable. Restaurant downstairs food was delicious, and staff were very accommodating.

Decent hotel, read the fine print
We stayed at the Provincial in a 2-bedroom for 2 nights. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The restaurant was attractive, and our breakfast there was good. Two things for future guests to note: First, the reception closes at 5:30pm. We didn't realize that and almost missed the check-in time, which is very early for a hotel. Second, in our 2- bedroom, the second bedroom was accessed through the first. This was pretty awkward; our friend had to walk through our room and past our bed every time he wanted to get to his room or the bathroom. This arrangement would work well for families with kids, but was not great for friends traveling together.

Quality
The room I had was tiny, but the bed was big and the most comfortable I've slept in. Good quality shampoo, soap, moisturizer etc. Small fridge in room. Wardrobe in room, one chair and desk. So had everything you needed but it was small and I heard people entering and exiting in the room opposite. Didn't eat there because I had such a good sleep I missed breakfast. I did get the cheapest room and the others are bigger.
Lovely, clean and quiet hotel, directly opposite the station and with secure off street parking if you have a car. Lovely fresh room and bathroom. Would stay here again.
The Hotel is lovely and beautifully renovated with unique touches. Very clean. Our suite was huge and loved the bathroom. Staff friendly. Good spot for walking most places. Only minor negative it that our room was right near the railway station so a bit noisy but we soon stopped noticing it. All in all a fabulous weekend getaway. Thanks!
Nice place to stay and very central. The room was quite small but good for the one night and had everything we needed.

The Provincial is well located in the centre of Ballarat. The decor is beautiful and the hotel is clean and comfortable. Lola's restaurant is very handy for breakfast.
Great little hotel , near the railway station but noise from trains is not an issue , noise in the morning with guests talking and Resturant moving crockery etc is quite noisy when your trying to sleep ( only complaint)
Fantastic Resturant on site , food was amazing
Such a lovely, charming hotel .. beautifully decorated room and a stunning dining room with delicious food served. Very pleasant and helpful staff .. would love to revisit and highly recommend.
