Oscar's 'ticks most of the boxes' for the traveller with a night to spend in Ballarat. Its central location and very convenient car park at the rear of the hotel enables you to see/walk/enjoy the centre of this interesting city with ease. We were upgraded and the room was first-class - evening meal was good with relaxed courteous service -... More

It's more of a pub than a hotel - rustic charm and food. Central location. The rear courtyard is excellent for a relaxed breakfast or afternoon drink. Rooms are ok.

Attended at Oscars on Saturday 3rd March 2012 for a function in the Long Room. The meals were excellent but would have to be by the pricing. Drinks a bit pricey and the room needed some sort of ceiling fan assistance as a lot of the gusets were going outside for some fresh air. Apart from that, very enjoyable.

We had a very nice overnight stay in Oscar's hotel. Although there was a function on that evening, the staff were kind enough to ensure us the noise would finish by 12pm, 12.30pm at the latest. As it was, we didn't notice a lot of the noise at all. Nice art deco finishes throughout the public areas of the hotel,... More

I had recently had lunch at Oscars. My first time. The location is perfect as it is right in the centre of town. If your are looking for a reasonable priced tasty meal with very friendly staff in a great location try this.

We both enjoyed a splendid breakfast with nice hot coffee and hot chocolate. We left for Bendigo feeling great and pleased that we had taken the time to... More

My husband and I recently traveled to Ballarat for a Monday overnight stay at Oscars. Firstly, what we saw of Ballarat was a real delight...no litter, no graffiti and beautiful old houses. Would like to return for a longer stay to see more of the attractions. Oscars had convenient off street parking and it was situated just off the main... More

We were attending a wedding within walking distance of Oscars in the CBD, so the location was perfect. We met others for lunch on the Saturday and breakfast Sunday morning. Everyone was impressed with the quality of meals and the staff. Our room was a good 4 star standard with modern feel, equipment and bathroom. We would stay again without... More

We booked a double room including breakfast through Wotif for $150 per night over a weekend in early Oct. This is a small (about 15 rooms) art deco styled hotel only blocks from the main areas of the city area. The hotel is known for its Cafe Bar which was full at both dinner and lunch times when we were... More
