Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to be in a convenient location, close to shops and the waterfront, which made it easy to walk around. The rooms were a bit cramped, not quite what I expected, but the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The dining options were excellent, especially for families with kids, although the room size was a bit of a letdown. Overall, a good value for money choice for a 10-day holiday.
The hotel offers a comfortable king bed and balcony with great views, but the bathroom limitations and noise from outside impacted my stay. The service was helpful and provided amenities for guests over the age of 35. The location is ideal for exploring Hobart attractions without needing a car, although it can be noisy due to busy roads. The dining experience lacked variety and value for money. Overall, a mixed experience with notable positives and negatives.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, equipped with a smart TV, all at a reasonable price for our departure stay. However, the room was not serviced after the first night, despite having the 'please make up my room' tag on the door. The service was lacking in manner and friendliness, as they were knocking on the door at 10:15 am wanting to see if we had left yet. The location was pretty good, with farmer's markets nearby on Sundays and a manageable distance to key attractions. The dining experience was standard, with slight room for improvement in quality and pricing. The facilities met expectations with standard offerings.
The hotel is conveniently located just outside of Hobart, offering a quieter stay while still being within walking distance to everything. The rooms consist of two bedrooms with a bathroom and a small pantry, but noise from the road can be bothersome. The service is top-notch, with friendly and eager staff, though some improvements in room timing could enhance the experience. The dining experience is basic and could use some enhancements, especially in presentation. Despite some drawbacks, the location and service make it a worthwhile choice.
