What guests think

Bayside Hotel sits in a central waterfront spot with lovely bay views and easy walking to shops and cafes, offering mostly spacious, clean rooms, some newly updated, and generally friendly, helpful staff for a comfortable, good value stay.

Noise from the main road, thin walls and small or awkward showers are recurring drawbacks, and parts of the property feel dated. The on-site bistro and bar are convenient and generally well liked, though menus can be limited and a few guests reported disappointing or incorrect dishes. Parking is usually straightforward and the pool appreciated, but the lift has been unreliable at times. Expect a simple, well-located base with great views.

The location was good and the rooms were clean and presentable. Unfortunately we caught them at a bad time. They seemed to be extremely understaffed and the menu was restricted. I understand times are hard to attract staff so i don't want to be too critical.

The room, on the first floor, was clean and pleasant. The lift was under repair, and the repairman was unable to fix it while we were there. As in other places on our Tasmanian trip we had to find the receptionist, who was very helpful. On-site parking is very limited so we parked in the public car park across the road by the bay. We ate in the hotel restaurant, where on Friday evening there was live music (a very competent singer/guitarist) but not intrusively loud. My wife's scallops had to be sent back as they were undercooked but overall the meal was OK.

Good location and nice size room. It is an older property so there is wear and tear but this is reflected in the price. Bistro was convenient and the staff were lovely. Cheap food and drinks which was a bonus. My son and husband swam in the heated pool which was great. Only thing to note is the noise- people in the corridor and the room next door but it all ended quite early. We would stay again especially for the price.

The carpark rooms have all been refurbished and are brand spanking new. Very high quality with soap, shampoo, and conditioner dispensers in the shower (which has a rain shower head btw). Bathroom sink has dispensers for soap, hand lotion, and shaving gel (brilliant). Property wasn't fully booked and I was initially allocated a room in between everyone else. Asked to ve moved to the middle and away from everyone else, and the staff were very accommodating. Dinner in the bistro was excellent and arrived promptly. This place is excellent value for a short stay and directly opposite the bay. Beautiful views.
