If I could give it MORE than 5 Stars I would!!!
Pros:

There was nothing at all I could fault about this property, our stay at Maylands Lodge was the best accommodation of our entire trip to Tassie, the room was immaculate and had everything you could possibly ask for and more, from a fireplace to a bathtub they truly thought of everything and their breakfast was amazing each day, we will absolutely be returning without a doubt!

Cons:

Nothing!!!

10/10 heritage accomodation
Pros:

The heritage building is absolutely stunning! The room is very comfortable and the massive bathtub was a major plus. The staff we meet at breakfast were very accomodating and friendly, with the tasty breakfast options included as well.

Cons:

Literally the only thing I can think of is that the cups in the room are tiny and it would have been nice to have a mug. But we would 10/10 stay again !

舒适、喜欢😘
Pros:

有故事的老房子格调，新设施，住去来很舒适，卫生间有点儿奢华，提供洗漱用品和浴袍。地点方便，可以看到惠灵顿的山顶。

Cons:

定的两室猎人屋实际上是带楼梯的复式。楼上并不是真正意义的两室，而是一个套房，只适合家人，不适合和朋友一起住。

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

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.
