Very satisfying stay, would come again
Pros:

Love the ambient, the beautifully made breakfast, the fantastic service. Good location too.

Cons:

The room layout for the two bedrooms unit (one bedroom is also the living room), a very small problem though.

Amazing stay in Hobart
Pros:

We had an amazing stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hobart. The room was absolutely beautiful with fantastic amenities and everything was spotless and neatly presented when we arrived. Housekeeping did a wonderful job cleaning the room every day, which made our stay even more comfortable.

Breakfast was included in our booking and we were so impressed with the variety of options available each morning. The food was delicious.

Every single staff member we interacted with was incredibly lovely, welcoming and accommodating throughout our stay. Their hospitality truly made a difference.

The location of the hotel is perfect for exploring the city and having plenty of parking available for our rental car was a huge bonus and made everything so convenient.

Overall, a 10/10 experience. We will definitely stay here again if/when we return to Hobart!

Cons:

The only thing we “didn’t like” about the hotel is that there are no cleaning services available for your clothes. Although there are a few laundromats very close by available which was convenient.

We had a lovely stay in a suite, the room was beautiful.
Pros:

Lovely building we stayed in a suite and it was very luxurious. The fixtures were great, beautiful painting around the building

Cons:

Struggled with the room deodoriser, it may have been an automatic one plugged in outside our room, the perfume was overpowering and sometimes may have affected my allergies and asthma

Lovely location and accommodation, we always come back.
Pros:

I like the breakfast options. The building, parking, location, rooms utilities are good too.
Rooms are nice and clean, good views. Heating is great.

Cons:

I have had better experiences with Maylands, such as the welcome on arrival. We were handed our keys and sent off to find our room on our own, up the stairs too which put extra work in being lost with bags.
Previous experiences we would get tea in the evening which I thought was a great touch, rooms would have robes, just little things which brought us back.
However not on this visit, still a great place. We just come back for the standard we appreciated.
