The Bay Hotel Apartments is a reasonably large complex and appears to provide visitors with a colonial Hobart Town look. Reception on arrival was formal with instructions given regarding parking room service and room location. The apartment is very spacious and of an open plan type, reminiscent of a studio style of accommodation. The lounge area consists of a comfortable sofa as well as a dining table and chairs. Also contained in the same area is a small kitchenette, well provisioned with kitchenware. While still very much a part of the same open plan style, the bedroom space is identifiable by a wonderful luggage table that provides access to one’s luggage at a far greater height than the usual luggage support furniture. The bedroom area contains a large comfortable bed and great sidelights. The bathroom is of a good size and contains an exceptionally powerful shower over the bath. Care does need to be taken to ensure the curtain remains within the bath while showering and that the bathmat hanging over the bath is removed to avoid saturation experiences. Excellent Guest Compendium. Well located, being in the Sandy Bay shopping area and close to Battery Point and Central Hobart. Excellent Wi-Fi provided.

Bed was comfortable. Car spot. Good hot water and pressure. Staff were helpful & friendly. On-site washing amenities. Well maintained premises. Intermittent room servicing. Privacy. Enjoyed our stay very much. Can see and appreciate the great effort put into the property throughout.

Bathroom dispensers were unappealing. Bathroom was well loved, due for update, slight leak at back of toilet. Didn't like the rubbish truck collections 4 out of 7 mornings (servicing the area so understand this is not controllable by the sites but was unpleasant). These were only slight niggles. For the price, well worth it.

I’d never stayed here before as I usually stay within the CBD. I liked this place because it offered a kitchenette which included a microwave, stovetop, crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. My bathroom contained a bath ( which I requested ) thank you management. decent sized bathroom which was actually bigger than other motels I’ve stayed in. Nice comfortable double bed and better still the pillows were soft and comfortable. unit was very clean and smelt fresh. A sofa table and chairs and flat screen television included. I enjoyed a relaxing comfortable stay, Lovely compact unit, Will stay again.

Nothing that I didn’t like but unit access was by steep narrow stairs which I was made well aware of before booking. not an issue for me but may be for others

The location & free onsite parking were great. Walking distance to Salamanca Market & the waterfront. Short walk to Woolworths & restaurants. Solo pizza & pasta nearby had fantastic service & great food. The 2 bedroom apartment setup worked well for a family of 4

Was concerned about road noise on arrival but didn’t hear anything overnight in our apartment

We love the position, close to where we needed to visit family. We loved the space, it was very comfortable, and the heater made it toasty. The water pressure was amazing making for great relaxing showers. Have parking right on the door step was an extra bonus.

It was very difficult to find fault at all. If I had to be picky I'd say the pillows were too high. But later, one of my kids told me there was a choice of pillows and the others were lower lol. And I did struggle to park. It was wonderful to have parking provided so close but a couple of bigger cars made the space a wee bit tight. Of course, the difficulty may have been from my tiredness and lack of patience to match. We will be back anyway!

Good cooking facilities, closeness to cafes, restaurants, grocery shopping and a short taxi ride to the city. We appreciated the quick response by reception staff to the faulty flush system of the toilet. A plumber was speedily dispatched and he fixed the problem quickly. It was great to have a bath in the bathroom too.

I would have liked a lamp in the sitting area. There were good lamps next to the bed. I don't like a single switch operating all the lights so didn't switch them on at night which meant it was a bit too dull near the couch, A lamp near the couch would have been good. The toilet flushing system needs updating. Maybe new toilets?

First time visiting Tassie & was down here for some athletic endeavours. Not knowing anything about Tassie nor previously visited as this was my first time, I booked this place by chance & turns out it was the perfect location. All necessities of groceries, restaurants, coffee shops are all within walking distance & if you’re a bike rider of any sort, Bay Hotel are right next door to MyRide. The bus if need be is only 1.5km up the road which was perfect. The room I booked was fantastic. Clean & extremely comfortable in addition to having a kitchen with all cooking utensils if you ever want to cook for yourself. 10/10 & will book here again!

Clean compact apartment. Kitchen is well equipped. Supermarket nearby. Confortable beds with USB sockets. About 15 min walking distance to piers. Possibility to pay laundry washing and drying with credit card. Service after reception hours worked well. Good Wi-Fi.

Very noisy, you can hear traffic noise from the busy road or if someone arrives late and slams the car door. Bathroom and kitchen have separate cold and hot water taps whereas I prefer mixed taps.

Excellent value for money! Studio was very clean and well presented. I appreciated the small additions such as shampoo, conditioner, moisturiser etc as I was travelling light with carry on only. Kitchen was well equipped to make own breakfast before setting out for the day. Location was fantastic - easy 20 min walk into town for all the markets/museums etc, buses just outside to get further out and beautiful close strolls around Sandy Bay and Battery point. Coles and woolies a few mins walk. Good bakery and eating options. It was quiet at night and the bed was comfy. Staff were lovely. I will definitely be back.

The location is good, surrounded by restaurants. It’s a 5-minute walk to Battery Point area and maybe 7-10 minutes to Kelly’s Steps to Salamanca Market. The staff (2 ladies that we met) were very nice. The room itself is fine. Free parking and it is hard to find in Hobart. There is also a laundry area for us to clean our clothes before we moved on to the next town.

Nothing in particular. It’s not great but it’s not bad. A bit dusty. And my clothes got lots of pieces of paper stuck to them after the laundry.
