Pros:

Excellent location, parking on site is a bonus. Lots of food options in the area. Walkable to Salamanca. Although its above the Pub, you dont hear it much, probably not at all. Great room and view.

Cons:

During steak night, we can smell the fumes from kitchen to our room, cant smell it outside or hallway. The airconditioning unit have a display that filter needs changing. Otherwise, everything was all good, and definitely come back again.
For those with mobility issues, please bear in mind there are stairs only.

Comfortable, clean, quiet, value for money accommodation in the perfect Hobart location
Pros:

It’s just the perfect location … 5 minute downhill stroll into the vibrant, bustling Salamanca precinct, yet very quiet and peaceful . Also , right opposite one of Hobart’s most iconic & delicious cafes. Also in a beautiful, quaint area of Battery Point. And offers its own tasty food, a good bar & clean, comfortable room facilities .

Cons:

Nothing

Hidden Gem in the Best Location
Pros:

Fantastic location! 3min walk to Salamanca, and a 1min walk across the road to lots of cute restaurants and cafes. The location is perfect to be away from the loud noise of the city but still within walking distance of everything. The room was clean and spacious, and the water view was gorgeous. Although the rooms are above the pub, you couldn't hear the downstairs noise from the rooms. Will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Hobart!

Cons:

Bathroom is a bit tight
