Pros:

Только расположение и внешний вид.

Cons:

Странный отель. Претензии на старую добрую Англию, а персонал на завтраках практически не работает. Не успевают элементарно, то одно закончилось, то другое. Совершенно не соответствует рейтингу.

History and location
Pros:

Liked the location and the historical feel.

Cons:

Creaky floors and thin walls, although to be expected in such an old building.

Pleasant and comfortable and convenient.
Pros:

Quirky and good attention to detail to keep the period feel. Centrally located and easy walks to CBD and harbour etc.

Cons:

Beds were a little soft and bouncy for us but that’s a personal preference. Blankets and bedspreads on the beds reminded me of staying in my grandma’s house 60 yrs ago, so felt odd rather than a nice comfortable doona. Again, just a personal preference and not a whinge.

Disappointing
Pros:

The staff were very efficient and friendly. Centrally located, perfect for exploring Hobart. A lovely old world charm, which is wonderful for a true Hobart experience.

Cons:

Granted it is an old building with restored rooms, the noise was awful. If you are a light sleeper or noise sensitive this is not the place for you. The rooms were no soundproof - you could hear guests in their rooms and walking the corridors noisily at night (this is a guest issue not the hotels fault). The air conditioning units outside the windows were very loud, and staff emptying bins and conversing in the laneway were quite noisy too.

The bathroom had no exhaust fan, which made it quite uncomfortable to get ready in after showering and left moisture on every surface in the bathroom.

The rooms, whilst elegant, are quite dated i.e. dust on cane furniture, scratched paint.

Average stay - disappointed
Cons:

When we moved into the room the safe did not close properly. After 3 visits by the staff it still was not fully functional.
The TV could not be used, even after the sari member came up and tried to make it function. It appeared a previous guest might have meddled with the TV to use his own PC interface. That was not removed

Old world charm in great location.
Pros:

Location was great. The room on level 4 was great.

Cons:

The standard hotel room is quite small and we didn’t like it. We upgraded to a room on Level 4 was great.
