I would not return if my life depended on it.
Pros:

Location was good, the Hotel Room was one of the worst we have stayed in, in all our travels around Australia and did not live up to the internet photos. If the management had spent as much on the room as they did on there Reception Area and Souvenir Shop it would have been a much better visit.

Cons:

The stairs to the Room were too steep and I am surprised they meet Australian Occupational Health and Safety Standards. The Room was too small. The bed was very uncomfortable and we hardly slept and woke up feeling terrible, sad end to a short break holiday.

Pros:

A beautiful character building
Really comfy bedding in a pleasant relaxing room.
Clean facilities that were as modernised as a building of that age would allow.

Cons:

The old character of the building meant that stairways were extremely steep and narrow.
Ok if you're fit and healthy, definitely limiting if movement is more challenging for you.

A beautiful hotel in a beautiful location
Pros:

located in the middle of the town in an excellent location the hotel is a great place to stay. The renovations that have been completed have brough the building up to an all-new standard. Accommodation is above the hotel so ready access to the bar and restaurant

Cons:

the stairs up to the accommodation is very steep and could be hard for people with limited mobility

love Stanley ! will be back and next time will stay longer :)
Pros:

The Cottage was absolutely beautiful, situated directly across the from the bay, the view was magical,
nothing to complain about there.
location was perfect, right in the heart of one of the prettiest little towns we have ever seen
everything is within walking distance

Cons:

the only thing that was disappointing was the fact that I broke my ankle at Port Arthur so didnt get to enjoy the hospitality of the pub as too many stairs for crutches
next visit will stay longer

Iconic Stanley Hotel with a great view of The Nut
Pros:

We had a perfect view of The Nut from our main window, and the other window looked down to the beach. The hotel was well kept, very comfortable and very good value. The staff were friendly and helpful. We ate at the bistro downstairs - atmosphere was warm and convivial and the meal was delicious. Definitely book ahead as it seems like a popular spot! It's a short walk to the chair lift which takes you up the steep face of The Nut to the Summit Circuit - a fairly easy 2.7k walk if you don't mind a few stairs - the beautiful heath, ocean views and patches of woodland magic are really special.

Cons:

The stairs are not designed for goofy people carrying heavy suitcases :) But that is part of the charm of these lovely old buildings - they have weird stairs, small doors, things like that.
