What a great historical hotel in the heart of Ballarat. The room was up to date and the staff was helpful with our luggage. We ate in the hotel restaurant and the food was delicious and the service excellent. There was no problem with parking on site, especially upon our late night return from the Sovereign Hill Aura event.

Oscars is an attractive property with a welcoming ambience. Staff provided a warm welcome and check-in was smooth. The room was very comfortable, clean, and with a lovely large spa bath. The bed was very comfortable indeed. A family celebration next day in the restaurant was superb: lovely atmosphere, delicious food, kind staff and the best birthday cake ever: a meringue roulade with crème anglaise and berries. I shall certainly stay at Oscar’s again.

The stay at Oscar's was amazing. You get to experience the heritage value of Ballarat while also enjoying luxury and comfort. I travelled solo and stayed for 2 nights - felt absolutely safe in this hotel. The restaurant also serves great food and drink options.
