Fantastic location & friendly staff!
Pros:

I’ve stayed here several times, and the experience is consistently great. The staff are always friendly, they’re accommodating with a bit of notice when plans shift, and both the restaurant and the location are fantastic. I’ll continue to rebook here when in the area.

Unique Battery Point Hotel
Pros:

This hotel is a unique stay in the centre of Battery Point. Its lively atmosphere makes it a great place to grab a drink in the afternoon. The live Jazz on Thursday evening was a hit. The bed is comfy and room is relatively private.

Cons:

Could be a bit noisy from the bar and restaurant downstairs, but after 10-11 noise settles down. Bathrooms were generally clean, however as you are sharing with other guests floors could be wet from people not cleaning up after themselves.

Great vibe. Suburban pub feel really close to the markets and docks.

Our one night “cruise” was delightful. A longer “voyage” next time we hope!
Pros:

Pretty much everything…location, our room (cabin!), the kitchen (galley!), facilities, restaurant, parking, staffing, decor, ambience…the list goes on!

Cons:

I would have liked a few coat hooks in the room…even if only on the back of the door!
