Prince of wales was absolutely amazing, will be back!
Pros:

The room we got was so clean and nice, felt like a home away from home. The staff were absolutely amazing, took customer service to a new level. Definitely will be back!

Cons:

The bed sheets did feel a little rough but after a little while they started to soften and were more comfortable.

Loved it !
Pros:

This was a great find! Fantastic location, very quiet but has one of the Hobart’s best bakeries across the road !
Rooms are very modern and elegant. Small in size but with everything you need even a decent pod coffee machine and the ability to open the window. Very impressed.

Cons:

Nothing

Great location and room. Didn’t spend time in the pub below although it looked like it could be a bit more inviting
Pros:

Loved the property

Cons:

Didn’t like that we were double charged then had to argue the point until manager came and then had to wait 2 days for refund. A sense check would have said $1300 for 2 rooms for 2 nights was a bit pricey.

Perfect location in the beating heart of Hobart.
Pros:

Its location overlooking Mt Wellington, Hobart, watersides and heritage precinct of Battery Point.

Cons:

Lack of professionalism in young staff at the restaurant and check in. They need to be trained to be more attentive to their customers during meal service. Some designating training sessions would iron this out.

Great stay in gorgeous Battery Point.
Pros:

Brilliant location, good food, great Viet/Thai across the road, great coffee/breakfast/bakery also across the other road. Short walk to Salamanca, Hobart. Beautiful surrounds.

Cons:

No tissues provided…that’s it!
