Booked a room online and then had a call from the manger asking me to cancel it on Wotif as another person who had "booked at a similar time" wanted a longer stay and therefore my room was no longer available. I needed to cancel it from my end, but was assured I wouldn't be charged!

Response from Andrew English, General Manager at Best Western Plus Ballarat Suites
Responded 28 July 2023
Good morning My apologies for the misunderstanding. What was said and what was heard unfortunately doesn't seem to match. The manager called you within 10min of you making an online booking that at the same time another did. The length of time for both bookings were exactly the same, this was not the issue. The issue was that your booking came through Expedia and the other booking came from Booking.com. Your booking came through 0.0012sec after the other. Wotif is not a company that we allow to book with us. They took your booking and booked again through Expedia, which my guess took the time away from your booking coming through to us. This is no way the hotels fault. Please from next time, book directly through the hotel and/or the hotels reward member program. Always happy to help. Management

The room was excellent. Very modern, stylish, with modern formal room, office zone, bedroom and bathroom. Stylish lighting and excellent heating all added to the experience. While the parking looks a little dated don’t be fooled. They’ve invested and updated what counts for the visitor…..a happy client :)

Booked because we were going to Aura at Sovereign Hill. Perfect location, an easy walk, but we drove because it was so cold. Had a room upstairs, really impressed there was a tree outside the window to block ugly roof view. The only fault was on that night the TV wasn’t working, otherwise, not a single complaint. Big room, incredibly comfortable bed. Good bathroom with a basin each. Would happily stay there again.

We stayed at Best Western Plus for a mini Family getaway for the winter wonder lights in Sovereign Hill. The hotels location made it so we were right across the road which was excellent, the rooms we stayed in were well equipped and very clean. We booked interconnecting rooms which was very handy for our 10 year olds and ensured we had plenty of space.

Immaculately clean and good size room. Comfortable bed and decent size wardrobe with plenty of hangers (which is rare!)...basic toiletries but good quality large towels. The shower is a bit outdated but has good water pressure. Basic kitchen fit out with microwave and small table and chairs as well as a couch. We had an upstairs spa room...the spa looked pretty old but was scrupulously clean. I'm not sure if the man at Reception was the owner or manager, but he was very welcoming and helpful with a number of local recommendations. There are plenty of pub and restaurant options within easy walking distance, and Sovereign Hill is only a short walk away too. There is a 24 hour cafe/convenience place next door, our room was on opposite side of the complex so I couldn't say if that would create noise. All in all, it was a fab weekend escape... didn't even go into the City of Ballarat this trip as everything was near where the hotel was.…

We stayed here for only one night the first day of our Great Ocean Tour. The rooms are large and perfectly equipped. But what impressed us most is the behaviour of the owner: When we arrived at the airport in Melbourne some days later, we realized that we had obviously forgotten our passports (we are from Germany) in either of the locked hotel safes. After telephoning a couple of times with the owner (Fabbis) and it was confirmed that this had happened in Ballarat, he simply asekd: 'When is your flight?' 15 Minutes later he was on the road and personally drove all the 100 km to the airport so that we did not miss our flight and could go on with our Australia holidays. We have experienced some helpful people before but this was simply outstanding. We cannot thank him enough and express how grateful we are. We doubt that this would have been possible in Germany. Thank you Fabbis ! …

Room was a great size and king bed very comfortable. Very clean. Bathroom was the best with heaps of room for toiletries, large walk in shower together with a proper hairdryer. Staff offered to assist with luggage which was thoughtful. Would stay again in future.
