Schönes Hotel, ruhig, etwas außerhalb vom Zentrum
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt etwas außerhalb vom Zentrum Hobart in einem wunderschönen Garten, Großes Zimmer, Bett sehr breit mit guter Matratze, sehr freundliches Personal

Cons:

Das Hotel ist sehr hellhörig, Teppichbelag Hygiene?? Dusche bräuchte eine Abtrennung oder einen Duschvorhang, sehr schwierig nicht das gesamte Badezimmer unter Wasser zu bringen.

A beautiful Manor House with excellent views in a lovely suburb of Hobart
Pros:

We loved the character of the old Manor House.

Cons:

No lift up the stairs, but you get that with old houses!

A beautiful place to stay with all the comforts.
Pros:

The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. It was lovely to have access to the verandah with seating overlooking the garden. The bathroom was huge, with a great shower and bath.

Cons:

The toilet flush was not great, it took a few goes to work.
We were disappointed with breakfast, there was no choice for a lighter breakfast. A fruit and yoghurt option or bercher muesli would have been great. Having said that though, the eggs were cooked very well.

The Maylands Lodge was the very best of all the accommodations that we have stayed at in Tasmania, by far!
Pros:

Liked the overall beauty and comfort of the mansion. Staff (especially Rose) were terrific and very friendly! Breakfasts in the gorgeous dining room were outstanding! Our room was very large and spacious. Everything extremely clean.

Cons:

There wasn’t much not to like. Bathroom had an issue with the toilet flushing. There is no lift, so stairs can be somewhat hard for moving bags in and out.

Absolutely loved it. We were able to check in early and our bags were in our room when we got back in the evening.
Pros:

Dining room and lounge were nice light rooms to sit in. The house has a homely feel. The cooked breakfast and coffee included in the room rate were excellent.

Cons:

A sign on the entrance to drive way would be helpful.

A wonderful expeance and i hope we can get back there one day. It goes to show what can be achieved with holding on to t
Pros:

It was a beautifully restored building with all the modern conveyances. The manager was very helpful and attentive to our needs. We loved the view of Mt Wellington from our room, the way the room had been so tastefully restored, how plush the carpet was under our bare feet, how warm and cosy the gas log fire made the room feel, how comfortable the bed was, how lux the ensuite felt with that glass that can change from opaque to clear with the flick of a switch, the lovely breakfast we had in the morning. Our only regret was we couldn’t stay longer.

Cons:

I find it hard to find any problem with the property the only things i could fault was the gas log fire in the room would not work but with much persistence we were able to get it running which made the whole expanse so much better. I think it just needs a service. In the morning it was a long wait for breakfast everyone seem to arrive at 8:00am in the end it was worth the wait.

Sadly very disappointing.
Pros:

The beautiful historic building, location,staff were friendly.

Cons:

Potential 5 star experience ruined by cheap poor quality towels, toiletries, bathrobes, glassware and many housekeeping issues.
Glasses were not clean, I had to wash them before use.
Coffee machine didn’t work properly.
One of the lights in the kitchen continuously flickered unless dimmer was turned down to the lowest which then made it dark inside and hard to see things.
One of the power points in The kitchen only occasionally worked.
Window in bathroom left open and far too high to close so bath was full of bugs and the window rattled very loudly all night In the wind.
Hair left on shower floor - not mine!
Outer part of mirror peeling off and cracks in bathroom sink that was also hard to drain. Mirror light didnt work.
Breakfast was dreadful. Only a choice of 4 cooked options, no toast, cereal , pastries etc offered. All of which you would expect at this price point.
Eggs Benedict, 1 egg white very raw, the other egg cooked like a hard boiled egg. Bacon not cooked just seemed to be warmed only, half a bread roll under it all and not toasted. I didn’t eat it.
No outside sitting on the lovely verandahs, small bench seats in a courtyard that wasnt at all welcoming.
Guests lounge says on line that there are drinks on offer, fridges are empty and nothing offered.
This hotel has so much potential but sadly doesn’t live up to the price charged.
