The hotel itself is a very nice old building with 14ft ceiling in the upper floors rooms. The lady at the front desk was extremely polite and helpful. Making sure that we had everything we needed in the room etc. Honestly it was WELL WORTH the price. The bed was a little firmer than what I am used to, but it was comfortable.

I liked very little. Broken venetian blind meant we were woken at 6.30am by sunlight glaring into our eyes. Room very small. Cheaply appointed. Overpriced. I expected more. Disappointed.

Everything was beautifully appointed. Bath plug too small for bath so it didn’t fill, continued to drain and be noisy through a relaxing bath.

The Ansonia on Lydiard is a very lovely boutique hotel. Our room was spacious, clean and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel has plenty of charm and Cameron was extremely helpful when we checked in & out. Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back again.

The only problem we had was the lack of free parking. Very annoying with 1 hour parking during business hours. City of Ballarat should provide Ansonia patrons with an exemption code. We travel to Ballarat regularly and this is a barrier to us staying at Ansonia.
