What guests think

At Motel Mayfair on Cavell, guests consistently find spacious rooms in a convenient hillside location near Hobart's CBD, with friendly, accommodating staff and good value, while noting the property is dated and varies in maintenance.

Cleanliness is often praised, though several reviews report mould, worn carpets, odours or ants. For the price, rooms are comfortable for many, but decor is old, Wi-Fi can be weak, and occasional maintenance issues or sagging mattresses are noted; upgraded spa rooms receive better feedback. The setting offers views and off-street parking, yet the steep walk means buses or cars suit many visitors. Overall, expect no-frills lodgings that deliver solid value.

The Mayfair is cosy, comfy and great value. Off street parking is provided. I like to joke that instead of staying with mates and risking parking fines every day that it is less expensive to pay to stay at the Mayfair and then explore Hobart by foot. Be warned, parking in Hobart's CBD is expensive and the parking fines are hefty!

We stayed in Room 7, a quiet room at the property. Staff at reception in the original, historic building at the rear of the property were polite at both check-in & checkout, & prompt in providing a replacement electric jug for the faulty one in our room. Included parking at our front door was appreciated. The room itself is dated, with peeling wallpaper & worn carpet, but clean. Spacious room with a 2 person lounge chair, small table, 2 dining chairs & t.v. included. The furnishings are period style & charming, in keeping with the main building. The queen bed was pretty good, however an upgrade on the mattress would be fabulous! Heating in both the room & ensuite is provided & appreciated. One bedside lamp is provided, worked well. 2 wall lanterns above the bed not working. Ceiling lights & ensuite lights worked well. Blockout drapes in room appreciated, for a sleep in, after our fabulous night attending the Eagles Greatest Hits concert at Wrest Point. Bar fridge in room works well, tea, coffee & sugar provided. 2 x serves of milk provided, would be helpful to have a few more. We purchased extra milk from the corner shop 2 blocks walk from our room, on Hill Street. The shower over bath tub worked well, hot water available. Good stay for 1 night, for the price we obtained through Wotif, AUD$89.55.

The room had a damp/old carpet smell, which didn't go when you opened the door. The silicon in the bathroom was mouldy and missing around parts of the sink. There was a very dodgy electrical set up in the bathroom. The plate which should be attached to the wall was sitting on top of the heater. I hope no one turns it on! You had to move the bedhead to access any plugs on that side of the room. There was a fan, but the legs had been shortened to fit in a cupboard, so it wasn't stable. The staff were friendly. I wouldn't recommend this motel.

The staff is quite nice and polite. Other than that, this motel is actually not a good one. Though I know it is outdated, however there are things they can improve, for example the cleanliness , and comfortability. Can’t understand why there are ants in the room. The room is quite spacious, but only one chair beside the table. I sincerely advise the owner to spend some time on how to improve the room.

I have stayed here several times and it offers good value. The staff are helpful and courteous. The room was a little 'tired' with 1970s- style furnishings but that did not bother me. It was clean and comfortable. I appreciated the early checkin, but soap near the bathroom basin instead of only in the shower would have been helpful.

Pleasant walk to Constitution Dock but do take Goulburn St back, less steep. Pigeon in the Hole cafe and Marquis Bistro & Buffet nearby.
