I've stayed here many years ago, and cannot believe it's still here. Staff were friendly. My room was a little bit further out from the reception area. The room itself was quite spacious, definitely clean and tidy. Only a short drive to Salamanca Place.

This a great hotel just out of the centre of Hobart but near the North Hobart dining strip. We love the clean bright and large rooms and free parking. We stay here often and really like it for good value rooms and the breakfast is tasty too.

My room was good in the main building but one of the rooms in an outer building in my booking was not good. The wardrobe was disgusting and the hanging space was unusable.
I do think that the rooms in the annexes should be cheaper than those in the main building. Staff were very helpful and friendly and the bathrooms and kitchenettes which had all been renovated were excellent.

Very hospitable, arrived late, no problems with the check-in or rooms, clean and could watch the Friday night footy on the oval from our room.
Breakfast was great and a good price too if you booked at check-in.
