My wife and I recently stayed at this hotel. Everything was great. Location is perfect, the room was very quiet, generous in space and lovely facilities. We were well looked after. A big shout out to Caitlin who overheard us telling another couple that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary and left a lovely unexpected gift in our room.

Lovely hotel, friendly considerate staff, super-comfy bed, lovely shower, well equipped kitchenette (although we ate out) and a perfect location. Unfortunately, their air-con was being repaired so we were given two very efficient ceramic heaters - just as good as air-con. Bonus was the wonderful cafe (Farzi) downstairs where we coffee'd once and breakfasted twice. We have friends in Hobart so will be back - definitely.
