really great! it will be my home away from home in hobart!
Pros:

The staff was amazing; they let me make a change to the booking the day before and it was no problem at all! Great room!

Cons:

I didn't like the older TV, yes, it was a smart TV, but most hotels now have the standard apps ready to use without having to use the hotel WIFI! seems a little old fashioned to me! really clunky to use, you should be able to just log into your own account and off you go.

BEWARE! Not the Rydges hotel you’re expecting
Pros:

The room was spacious and had a view of the footy oval for the historic Tassie Devil first VFL game.

Cons:

Had a nightmare experience from the moment we arrived. The hotel had cancelled our original booking despite already taking the money, and Booking.com still showed everything as confirmed. We didn’t get the same room, and the receptionist showed zero empathy — honestly felt like she had no idea what she was doing. I even had to be the one to ask whether they’d consider offering a credit since the replacement room wasn’t equivalent. It only had a pedestal fan, no split system. How is that even acceptable.

Breakfast was average at best — just the basics with bacon and sausages as meat options. Don’t bother asking for different eggs unless you want to be charged extra. The hotel is rated 3 stars for a reason, and it definitely lived up to that. Wouldn’t recommend it for first‑time travellers to Hobart unless you’re literally just there to watch the footy.

To top it off, you have to pay for laundry, and the machines look like they belong in a museum — barely maintained and ancient.

And just when I thought it couldn’t get more ridiculous, at checkout they expected me to pay the $2 difference between the room‑service charge and the credit they’d given for putting us in the wrong room. After everything, they still chased two dollars.
