My recent two-night stay at The Henry Jones Art Hotel in Hobart was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the staff set a new standard for hospitality—warm, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to creating an unforgettable experience. Their service is among the best in the world, making every interaction feel personal and effortless. The hotel itself is a masterpiece. Every corner is thoughtfully curated, seamlessly blending history with contemporary art. The walls tell stories through an ever-evolving collection of artwork, making the space feel more like an immersive gallery than just a place to stay. Bobbie’s meticulous curation ensures that every piece contributes to the hotel’s unique atmosphere. Beyond the art, the rooms are beautifully designed, offering a perfect mix of comfort and character. The blend of heritage architecture with modern luxuries creates an ambiance that is both inspiring and relaxing. The location is also ideal—right on the waterfront, within walking distance of some of Hobart’s best dining and cultural spots. If you appreciate exceptional service, unique design, and an experience that goes beyond the ordinary, The Henry Jones Art Hotel is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return.

We didn't have breakfast but we loved the glassware, "nespresso" and all of the movies available to watch.

We checked in to a room that the carpet must have had water damage and was very moldy but we requested a move and were accommodated immediately. I was told that this is the cleaning solution the staff uses - which was not true. And, I repeated that it was definitely mold/musty - I am very sensitive to these smells so I know them well. I was told that I am entitled to my opinion but no, its cleaning solution. Anyway, that was unnecessary. I appreciate the management moving us so quickly.

It had a quirkiness about it that took if beyond being another comfortable hotel. The staff were all characters in their own right and added to the flavour of the hotel. Everyone was so helpful and attentive to our needs the whole experience was one of comfort.

Visitors need to be ware that it is necessary to pre-book the hotel’s restaurant due to its popularity. In order to achieve a second visit while we were there the staff went out of their way to create availability on a busy Saturday night.

So beautiful. The building and surrounds with the history and the art makes this place very special . Much nicer than getting a beige, ordinary room elsewhere. Staff were lovely and helpful. Art tour was a great thing to do as you learned the history of the place and see wonderful art everywhere. It was a great way to start our stay. Free laundry room a bonus. We could open our windows which we liked to get fresh air in the room. Cocktails at the Long Bar were also very good. Breakfast was excellent. Location to everything was brilliant. So glad we stayed here.

It’s time for the mattress to have an upgrade. Was a bit uneven and soft and did impact on sleep.

Fantastic location right on the harbour front. Walking distance to everything. Views from our room were amazing. Very helpful staff, nothing was a bother. Guest laundry (self serve) was a welcome surprise. The Landscape restaurant was fantastic, we loved it.

The bathrooms are all glass and the door doesn’t seal. The layout was a bit tight around the end of the bed - bit of a squeeze. You have to activate a room clean by putting the sign on the door, it’s not automatic.

Second time staying here with family - we love waking up in the morning and going out to see the views. Breakfast from our rooms is always an experience that sets up our day well. Nespresso pods hit the spot. I love that the experience was consistent as last time - we did note 1-2 changes such as no longer providing Tassie water in the glass bottles (instead Mt Franklin bottled water), set of tea no longer has green or peppermint but nothing major.

The twin beds are really soft - you sink in, as a side sleeper it was slightly uncomfortable.

Absolutely gorgeous boutique hotel. Rooms were huge and the decor 👩‍🍳 💋. There were 3 couples in our group and each of our rooms was unique but all large, comfortable and beautiful with original artworks everywhere, and for sale, so you are literally staying in an art gallery. The hotel has kept a great deal of its former jam factory heritage and modernised just enough to be authentic but modern. The facilities are superb with a cute bar and hotel restaurant downstairs and another great casual restaurant within the complex for coffee, breakfast and lunch called Jampatch. Gorgeous views out to harbour and perfectly positioned near great restaurants, Salamanca Markets and city centre. I honestly could not fault a thing and loved every minute of our stay in this hotel and Hobart in general, which is also gorgeous.

The only teeny tiny criticism was that the rooms were quite dark. I don't mind it, but yes, the lighting could be inadequate for some.

We didn't eat at the hotel, as we wanted to have a different experience each day with food. We loved the room, the ART, and the extra roll out bed for our son, it was perfect.

OK ... What we didn't like was that there was a small 'toy' fairy penguin in the room, that appeared to be a souvenir. Our son's girlfriend loves fairy penguins, and my husband handed it to my son, to take home for Phoebe (his girlfriend). None of us had any idea it was from the 'mini bar'. It was in fact quite dirty, the tag was very old, and falling off. On arriving home after the holiday, I recieved an invoice that $40 had been deducted from our credit card. If I'd know we were meant to pay for the penguin I certainly would have purchased one from the front desk for $40. As we live in South Australia, there's no point posting it back. A disappointing end to a wonderful experience in the hotel.

Beautiful atmospheric hotel with great rooms. Great location, walking distance to most things you'd want to see in Hobart.

Breakfast choices were limited, but understandable due to the number of guests taking breakfast. The hotel is just across from a small swing bridge with a metal grid surface, this wouldn't be a problem, but some bright spark has added small metal plates to the surface which clatter noisily every time anything drives over it. Luckily, it stopped during the night, but started very early in the morning, waking us up each day.

Location was great, and valet parking made access easier. The reception staff were friendly and very helpful. We ate at the Wharf restaurant where the food, staff and service were fantastic. Late evening bar was pleasant and staff friendly.

Our room overlooked the rear entrance and there was a lot of early moving noise, including bottles being emptied into bins, kegs being moved and laundry trolleys being collected in the early hours of the morning. We could have done with a spare blanket as we were a little cold in the middle of the night. The service in the breakfast restaurant was appalling. Orders not placed and meals received luke warm. After multiple attempts to attract staff and being ignored we left to get a 2nd coffee elsewhere.
