Great location with some Tassie pub charm! Loved it!
Pros:

Great location and friendly staff.
We got upgraded to the hampden suite, which was a lovely surprise and was a beautiful room. The views were stunning.
We had no issues walking around Hobart as the hotel is so central.
Modern facilities and great vibe!

Nice hotel room but loud location
Pros:

Great hotel room. Clean and a good size bedroom and bathroom. Nice views from the room. Restaurant/bar downstairs did good food and drinks. Not a far walk from the main centre, about 10 minutes.

Cons:

Other guests were loud, woken up continuously until around 4am. Also the main entrance door was smashed in during the night. Not sure if that’s just unlucky on the night or if it’s known to be a rough area. Thought price for one night was a little expensive.
