room and bathroom are not too bad, clean. the rest room have a lot of sofas which are good. but the kitchen is a bit dirty and lacks of cutleries. reception is at second floor and there's just stairs in the building.
10.02.2026 Luca
Receptionist very friendly and helpful. The place is falling apart though. No lift, if you have heavy luggage good luck. Outside the rooms there's no heating so bathroom is polar temperature! It was 2 degrees outside so impossible to shower. Also the bathroom - as you can see from the photos - is close to be illegal. One toilet/one shower per level, always busy. This place would need a huge makeover to justify the price. For 75$ I would never come back!

Expensive. Not clean. No parking available despite website saying this. Charge you CC fees to pay your board and a deposit, which they then take ages to sort out when you depart, and don't refund the fee on the deposit which is pure THEFT. They refuse to refund the CC fee even though they do not get charged by the CC company. This is illegal behaviour and if I had more time, I would take them to task.

The bed was comfortable and heating adequate.

I would recommend airbnb's over this place which we have done since when staying in Hobart. Does the city a disservice.

The hotel is well-located in the city center, and the airport bus stop is just a few meters away. However, there were food smells coming from the restaurant directly below my room.

Great for a budget stay for backpackers who want to live in the CBD especially if you go Tassie just for the Aurora chase.
05.07.2024 Yuki69
My biggest mistake was staying here in the first place. Service hours are really short, the staff doesn't care much about you. WiFi password wasnt given upon our arrival, its also difficult to contact via phone call. Better stay away from this. However, the location is great tho.

08.10.2017 Kylie
The staff on a Sunday are unprofessional and not apologetic and rude. Do not recommend the manager that works there for any customer service awards that's for sure. Wouldn't rate there customer service anything. Service is slow even when it's quiet.
24.06.2017 Peter
If you must, though I'd prefer elsewhere. Nothing personal (except for the pokies) just not my cup of tea with its bright lights and very standard drinks menu. Don't believe the times on the door.
22.06.2017 David
Fantastic service and recommendations from John at check In, later when we took a rest in the bar and then again at breakfast. Great central location. Clean and tidy room with an included breakfast which made our stay even better value. Would stay again.

If I could give it zero stars I would..
03.06.2015 Steve
This was quite a nice little place in the middle of the city. Very nice, clean room, friendly staff, good food. Held our bags for us while we spent the day walking the city. We had a room upstairs on an inner courtyard, so it was very quiet. I'd recommend it!
