3-night trip

8/10

Excellent value for money. Being able to get a private room for under $100 is something let alone $65 (cash). Definitely would consider using it again. Window did not have flywire which wasn't too much of a biggie. No cooling. Leaving the door ajar caused a terrific breeze. Night exit was immediately under window and one night there was revelry until 1 am under the window.

Worst hotel in Hobart - loud and noisy including the caretaker outside room. The halls are dirty, furniture is old, and plenty of smoke wafting into room

Shared bathroom was always very clean, kitchen was useful, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Great location, just had a bit of trouble getting them to send through details for late check in and the shower I used didn't heat up, but another one did.

Stayed another night on top of original stay as the beds were comfortable, staff friendly and attentive. Lawrence on reception was informative and polite. Wash rooms cleaned daily, piano in lounge with table tennis and pool tables as well.

Overall, if you're staying in the winter, ask them to turn on the heater before you check in, as it takes a long time to warm up the room. John, the long-term resident, is really great and helpful—he makes everyone feel at home. Thanks, John!
