    We were staying in Ballarat to run the marathon the next day. The Alfred was perfect. Super friendly staff, clean, quiet, great beds, and all the facilities we needed.

    9GyanendrasinghPosted on: 4-22-2025

    The property was clean and well maintained. Rooms got everything we needed. Just a suggestion, if night lamps are there, it would have been great.

    Just missing night lamps.

    The bed was very comfy and the shower was hot and good water pressure

    My room, and I guess the others, looked incredibly tired, dated, and old. Chipped wood, cracks in shower screen. I know this is just cosmetic, but it did feel a bit sad

    10PatriciaPosted on: 4-7-2025

    Handy location, comfortable stay, owners very helpful.

    3BelindaPosted on: 4-7-2025

    Good location. Nice staff. No road noise.

    The smell! The most awful smell. The smell got into my bags and all my clothing has come home smelling like the room. Tried perfume, air freshener and eucalyptus spray to get rid of the smell as all other accommodation was booked out for the weekend. Nothing worked!!

    7HuongPosted on: 4-7-2025

    It has the family suite with two separate bedrooms

    Pillows are too hard to sleep on, rooms feel quite draughty

    10TamaraPosted on: 3-29-2025

    Very clean, easy check in/check out.Quiet location

    1CassandraPosted on: 3-29-2025

    Location fine

    Dirty, stinky, bugs in the beds, shower was disgusting.

    9RosaliePosted on: 3-24-2025

    Room was very clean, had everything we needed for our stay. Close to attractions for families. Overall happy with stay

    9DylanPosted on: 3-23-2025

    The family room was very clean and tidy. The beds were very comfortable. The receptionist was very kind and accommodating. The hotel is close to the town centre and lots of takeout and cafes around.

    The shower was not clean. There was hair over the walls and dirt on the floor I had to wash the shower myself. The cutlery was dirty, The cleaning sponge was mouldy. Apart from these few things everything else was great and clean.

    Very convenient location - it was only a few minutes drive to Ballarat central, it was surprisingly quiet considering it was just off a major thoroughfare too! The check in and check out was easy and smooth, we had to leave very early the following day and it was a simple case of drop the key card off in the box on the way out. Plenty of room for my family, beds were comfy, no complaints at all! Did exactly what we wanted the room to do.

    Nothing!

    Friendly, helpful staff.The pool on hot day.Clean room.Typical motel for quick overnight stay.

    8LukePosted on: 1-4-2025

    Room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. It was also very quiet with little roadside noise overnight and no intruding noise from people in other rooms.

    Although the facilities and furniture are in good condition, they do look a bit dated

    9DavidPosted on: 1-2-2025

    Very pleased with our short stay, after a mad dash from the Spirit of Tasmania to the motel the owner was very friendly

    Not being able to stay longer!!
