The Macquarie Hobart

Très bon séjour hôtel bien situé

This is a great location for exploring the waterfront and old pubs like the Hope & Anchor. Parking at the Hotel is $25 for one night, well worth it. After checking in and enjoying our $25 beverage credit (ale and cider for us) we set off to enjoy the sights and the sunset! We received a room upgrade, which was spacious with a four-poster bed. It was quiet, as the street traffic died down about 9pm. A sign in the room mentioned the age of the hotel and the need to allow the hot water tap to run for a while, which was nice for us to know, and we were rewarded for our patience. Breakfast was included with our room rate, and it was lovely to go downstairs into the dining area for a buffet of pastries, cheeses, croissants, cereal, fruit, yogurt, juice, and coffee. Staff was friendly and attentive.

All Reception staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a basic Continental variety. Cut up fruit was good but takeaway fresh fruit was aged and not inviting. Parking was available but at a cost of $25 pn which was well worth it being so centrally located a 7 min approx walk to the harbour and Salamanca markets. The bed in our room was not so comfortable and very squeaky. There was considerable traffic noise from Macquarie St and the air brakes of trucks being heard throughout the night and early mornings. This was from our room that fronted Macquarie St…other rooms may not be as affected as ours was. Overall The Macquarie Manor was very conveniently situated for our stay in Hobart and once again the 4 or so different staff at Reception whom we met over our 5 night stay were fantastic and did a great job.
