The location is really good. It is a short walk (slight uphill) to North Hobart (so many restaurant choices) or slight downhill to Hobart CBD. The rooms are spacious and well decorated with lovely furniture. There is a large guest lounge with books which has a lovely old English charm. There is a microwave available for use in the dining room. The back garden is very peaceful. The hotel was easy to find, and has a set of stairs coming up from Elizabeth Street and another entrance way directly onto Warwick Street (where you can park using a permit from the hotel) once you have your keys, which also has steps up. The room was very quiet overnight and the Wi-Fi worked well.

The old world ambience was what I was looking for in Hobart. It is convenient to the city centre, waterfront and a short drive to the botanical gardens. Handy to a choice of eateries too. Privacy was afforded and the guest lounge was a nice place to relax. The parking pass was also much appreciated.

The room was a little stuffy with not great ventilation. The table was not great for writing as it was too high for the chairs.

The property and furniture are quite old, but everything functions well. The room was very comfortable and we can also use the facilities and lounge and dining room. What impressed me most was the friendliness of Jeff and Julie. Instead of staying at a hotel, it was like we were staying at grandparents' house. It only takes about 15 minutes to walk to the CBD. Around the hotel, there are also many restaurants from various foreign countries.

There is no air conditioner, but it was not a big problem since we mostly going outside at noon. For the night, they provide heater and electric blanket.

This hotel provides a revisiting to a world no longer possible. A guest lounge with complimentary glass of port or tea and coffee A manager who was more than welcoming and gracious when we arrived. The hotel is located perfectly in the North Hobart food precinct with options available from so many local and international eateries. We could not be happier and highly recommend this hotel to all visiting Hobart.

Nothing

We only had a basic continental breakfast which was OK. The hosts were very friendly, and we enjoyed the tea and port in the sitting room. Our room was not spacious, but well appointed for the size. The period decor throughout provided the desired atmosphere.

There were 17 steps to our room -- I asked for a ground floor room, was told that they all were ground floor, and yes, there is no second floor, so technically true, but we managed the steps. We had to park in the street, which was a concern. We had a permit to park notice for our windscreen, and didn't need to go anywhere, so it worked OK.

Jeff was very welcoming on arrival. He was friendly and helpful. The room was really well equipped with tea making facility and a lovely comfy bed. The sitting room was very special. We were able to relax in this lovely room with a glass of port, provided on the table, and peruse the magazines taking us back to the 50s and 60s. I would have no hesitation in recommending

Nothing springs to mind

excellent host. i didnt have breakfast. very helpful staff

sadly i was injured first morning at confernece i was attending and ended up in Hobart hospital so couldnt complete my stay. the host generously helped a colleague pack my room as I left early. Id go back and stay there

Jeff and his wife own a stunning lodge and are extremely welcoming hosts. Beautiful room with a spa bath was the perfect way to indulge in the Hobart winter. A perfect location, only 20 minute walk to the centre of Hobart and countless restaurants surrounding. My partner and I cannot recommend this place enough!! We will definitely be back.

I enjoyed the heritage feel of the property and the calm, quiet atmosphere. My room was lovely and I appreciated being upgraded from the ‘little’ room (although that would have been fine). The hosts were very friendly and helpful and I will certainly book there again if I make a return trip. I was also glad to find residence parking alongside the hotel (I may have missed that information in my original booking). Thank you! Jill

It was a last minute booking and yet the owner warmly welcomed us. We stayed at a spa room and the bathtub was big and clean, and I really liked the high ceilings. I have to mention, they had make-up removers as amenities and I was surprised cause you don't find them very often in Australia. The electric blankets really helped us at night. The garden and the lobby were pretty too. Parking was easy for us since it was on weekends but it might be hard on weekdays. We used rental scooters to get to the Salamanca market for fun, it took us about 25 mins. We really enjoyed our stay!

It's a boutique building so walls are pretty thin.
