Lovely room in the main building, with view over Hobart. Very spacious and clean. Friendly staff, lots of free parking, and a self-service laundry.

Would I stay again.... No. Good location 10mins from Hobart town centre, the hotel is located in a beautiful old school building. That's the good news. Behind the facade, its not so good. We booked superior twin room, which includes a useless lounge area - the only tv is the bedroom, the only place to see the tv is by laying on the bed! The tv is bad, very cheap and nasty. Only the bed is worse. The mattress is way too soft (ok personal choice), and the base is falling apart - feels like you'd fall off any moment. Worse hotel bed ever experienced! Simple things make the difference - like wall hooks to hang wet coats, quality tea and coffee in the room, good size tea cups, or a window blind to stop people seeing into bathroom!... Sadly the room didnt have any of these. Two for one drink offer at bar, draws you in, but with so many restrictions on its use its not worth it. Plenty of better places to eat and drink 10mins walk away in Elizabeth St. Enjoy!

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.
