10/10 Exceptional

First time at Oscars but not the last. Centrally located, lovely heritage vibe, friendly/welcoming staff, very comfortable room and easy parking. The only issue is that if you're in a room on the road side, you can hear the trucks driving down the main road. Loud!

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.

Even if i didn't stay at Oscar's I would have went for dinner or lunch. Table service by the staff is 5 * and a beautiful ambience without paying exorbitant price's. Do yourself a favour and stay a couple of nights.

I had an emergency stay at Oscars after I had a car accident and was unable to leave Ballarat. The staff were incredibly accommodating in helping me out with all the little bits and pieces such as a phone charger that I didn’t have due to the unexpected circumstances. I had and I feel it steak in the restaurant, it was fantastic! Really enjoyable experience in what was a terrible set of circumstance

Possibly the worst sleep ever. With with neighbouring air conditioning running all night.

8/10 Very good

Oscars is a lovely, tastefully renovated old art deco building that houses a large restaurant, bar, function rooms as well as accommodation - upstairs. I arrived exhausted after a very long day & with a very heavy suitcase & a bad back - I recalled the booking website had said there was no lift, but didn’t realise all the rooms were up a staircase. I was not thrilled. But no problem - the delightful young girl at check-in arranged for the barman to take my case up. GREAT service that continued my entire stay. That same lovely young lady was there to check me out & brought my case down herself. She was so sweet & accommodating. 10 stars to her for such hospitality! There’s on site parking (a little hard to navigate exiting though if you have a big car & the car park is full). The room was huge, nicely decorated & warm thanks to the split system. And there was ROOM SERVICE with full restaurant menu - fabulous! The pizza was delicious, hot, fresh, well presented & delivered quickly. The huge bathroom had a spa bath (a little dated with a few cracks & missing jets, but very clean). Plentiful hot water, lots of towels & bathing products. The bed was just sooooo comfy! There’s fantastic blockout type blinds & drapes that kept it really dark for sleeping & the road noise wasn’t too bad considering it’s on a main road & didn’t disturb me at all with earplugs. I left next day refreshed after a really lovely stay made perfect thanks to the stellar service. I’ll be back for sure

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.
