Paid for the best room with a spa bath and balcony, spa bath was dirty and didnt work & balcony was shared with a second room where an angry woman yelled at us for walking out onto it (why would you not put a divider?)

The absolute charm of the hotel negates and negatives. For me the hotel is getting a little old, aircon quite tired, bed needing tightening up, never the less I continue to stay at Craigs. It's wonderful.

The hot water in the show keeps playing up, sometimes hot, sometimes cold; there was a time I was washing my hair, and suddenly, the water became cold. I told reception, and they said they would have a plumber to have a look in the future.....Not a very good experience

I was first in Ballarat at Teacher’s College in the early 60’s. The hotel was iconic then. Loved my stay. The food was very good, too. Will be back in the future.

The architecture and decor of Craig’s is simply fabulous. However fake plants and floral displays really cheapen the look. The room was less than expected - booked 12 months in advance and I poured over the supplied photos and description to make my selection. Overall a pleasant stay but I would not return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Craig’s Royal Hotel. The accommodation was lovely and comfortable, the food in the restaurant was delicious and generous, and all the staff were so kind and obliging, nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend Craig’s Royal Hotel and would definitely stay here again. Thank you to all the management and staff who made our stay enjoyable and memorable.

The elevator is a icon The reception staff great Now you have major problems 1- No staff i the bar area. Several people including me awaitimg 10 - 15 minutes to find a staff member to assist Some people walked off and up the road 2- I spilt hot chocolate all over the table. As i went ti get help from the 3 staff members in the morning doing ver little. No one seemed interested in the assistance nor cared to ask could they help. I got rags and cleaning rags to mop up and clean up the mess. This is very poor After i had cleaned as much as i could I stopped a staff member bringing a coffee in for someone and let them know that i did my best but its still amess. I beleived that until i said something no one cared at all!!!!!!!!! The parking is bad having to park in the street. You should look for a area that is set aside for your patrons
