Decent location, not a long walk from the CBD or Salamanca Place, with supermarkets and other shops close by if you need to buy anything. The restaurant downstairs was also great and we had an excellent meal there. The mini fridge in the room was also very handy.
Just some complaints, the bed and pillows were too soft for our liking. As for the bathroom, the sink tap was wobbly (almost like it was about to come off) and we didn't really like the rainfall shower head. Everything else worked just fine though and we had an overall pleasant stay.

Good stay... very noisy, bang on the road. It has plus and minus. Very close to all amenities, petrol etc.
No microwave or toaster, bit incovinient.
We had ac/heating in one room and other room didnt have anything (twin room)
Overall, it would be good for light travellers with bar and restaurant attached. It was average for our family due to few points mentioned above. It affected our sleep

I didn’t like the beds, which one assumes would be the essential item of an overnight stay.

Great location with extremely amazing service
One of my favourite places to stay in Hobart.
Service is extraordinary, and the place is so convenient! Walking distance to Salamanca and the city.
The hotel also has a bar and restaurant and I really recommend eating there - delicious!!!
Once again the service is outstanding!

Neat place. A bit outdated design and windows overlook the roof. Other than that it served the purpose well. Clean. Fresh and vomfortable bedding.
