I absolutely loved this hotel! The rooms were super spacious and really well cleaned, providing just the right amount of quirk. Highly recommend this hotel for a comfortable and well-designed stay. The service couldn't have been more professional but was also incredibly friendly, making everything from room service to tours/ticket assistance a breeze. The location was amazing with a stunning view of Mount Kunanyi during breakfast, and the dining experience, although closing early and a bit busy, still offered a lovely atmosphere. For us to stay in, it was the best area ever with an amazing view over the harbor.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room named after Tasmanian's local products was a unique touch that provided an excellent stay after my Mt Wellington hikes. The service was exceptional, making me feel truly special. The location was perfect for accessing all that Hobart has to offer, especially with a room overlooking the water. However, the dining experience could use some improvement, but overall, it was a memorable experience.
