Our take
Craig's Royal Hotel is a heritage boutique hotel for travellers who want character rather than a modern chain. Rooms have elegant furnishings, marble bathrooms and hydronic heating, and on-site dining covers lunch and dinner, plus a High Tea on select Sundays. Ballarat Railway Station is a short walk and local attractions are close. An 8.4 from more than 2,000 reviews is a good mark. As with many historic buildings, the layout and feel are traditional, which charms some guests more than others.
