Δεν είχε φυσικό φωτισμό , εξαερισμό το δωμάτιο . Υπήρχε ένας κοινόχρηστος διάδρομος από τον οποίο ο κάθε ένας μπορούσε να βλέπει μέσα στον χώρο του διαμερίσματος

Pros:

Location

Cons:

We stayed in a family room on the basement level, which was a bit damp, when heater on, it was much better. Unfortunately, one room had three Heathers, and the other room only had air conditioning.

A pleasant stay in historical Hobart.

Located in an historic building in the heart of Hobart. While comfortable it is a relaxed unfussy place. Breakfast is included and is all you need to start your day.

Cons:

Street parking is not available directly outside the hotel and may be a little way up or down the street.

Pros:

Really loved the decor both in the main areas and my room. Breakfast was just what I needed, a bit more than basic continental I would say. A very comfortable bed and quiet. Staff were welcoming and friendly.
