Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and slight disappointments. The rooms were very comfortable with above-average bedding, yet outdated, and the bathrooms were old. The service was exceptional from all staff members, although there were a few areas that lacked clarity. The location was excellent, just minutes outside the city, offering convenience with a steep road to access. The dining experience was average, with a limited selection of items. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was quite satisfying. The rooms were spacious and offered lovely views over Hobart and the surrounding areas. It was warm and welcoming upon arrival, which was a nice touch. The service was a bit mixed, with some staff being very professional and equipped with helpful information about Hobart, while others were a bit noisy in the morning. The location was convenient, within walking distance to cafes and restaurants in North Hobart, but the WiFi connection in some units was poor. The dining experience was good overall, offering a variety of options at reasonable prices. The facilities were decent, and the hotel had a quiet and comfortable atmosphere.
The hotel had a horror movie restaurant vibe, lacking basic breakfast food like toast and fruit, and not delivering the advertised facilities. However, the staff went beyond and above, even though they were inexperienced, making my stay pleasant.
The hotel is in a lovely area of Hobart in a historic building with antique furnishings. The rooms, although a little dated and in need of some maintenance, were still comfortable and offered a good size with space for a sofa along with the canopy bed. However, the breakfast lacked basic food items like toast and fruit. The staff, while mostly friendly and helpful, were a bit indifferent in some instances. The location was convenient, close to amenities but slightly further than preferred. The dining experience was average with some exceptional options. The facilities were good overall.
