Located too close to the railway crossing so it was still noisy even with double glazed windows in the room. Mattress was uncomfortable, need to update mattress. Would have preferred some cutlery and plates in the room. Otherwise great location, clean and easy parking provided.

The Provincial is a beautiful old heritage hotel in a great location in Ballarat however since my last stay I can see that the love and care is not as good as it was and unfortunately the new owners did not have a liquor license yet so it felt as though the Hotel was just not firing on all cylinders.
