    Continental breakfast every morning was great. barrister coffee was really good too. The staff were really friendly and helpful and always up for a chat. It was easy to walk from this location to most destinations withing the local area. You have to try Banjo's bakery you yummy pies and cakes and barrister coffee, and Rockwall bar and grill for dinner. the Casino was good too.

    There was quite a bit of traffic noise as the windows are old and only single glaze. The hot water took ages to come ip to the room, but once there, was great. That's the only downsides of this beautiful old building. A suggestion would be to install gas fires in the old fireplaces downstairs and maybe a nice candle for the added ambience as guests enter.

    The room was clean and huge with high ceiling. Bed was comfy, but a bit soft if you like a firm bed. The breakfast was a substantial continental selection and we were very satisfied. We loved the old style of the decor, suits the age of the manor. Staff were absolutely fabulous, so bright, chirpy and helpful, well done girls!

    The breakfast was satisfactory, although it cost extra for coffee. Not that big of a deal.

    Room was large and comfortable. Location was super central and walking distance to alot of great spots. Easy to get around. Staff were friendly and made late check-in easy.

    I genuinely couldn't find a fault with the hotel in any manner. The only downside for me personally was that I was on such a flying visit that I only got to stay one night!

    My room was exceptional! I had a little seating area with two sofas where I could comfortably watch TV with my cup of tea, a massive & very comfortable bed & the cleanest little bathroom. Parking space was great & they let me leave the car for a few hours after my check out so that I could explore on foot for a little while which I really appreciated. Breakfast was a lovely continental style spread with something for everyone, everything was fresh & well replenished when needed. Location wise was great, within walking distance to so much & very easy to find from the airport. I left my phone charger behind in my room & the girls were lovely, even posting it back to me within a few days.

    The pipes were very noisy every time another room ran a tap or flushed a toilet (although that's often the case in old buildings).

    Location was excellent. Staff were incredibly friendly and professional.

    Wasn't a bundantly clear having to book paid parking on site. And the coffee in the morning was also an extra cost.

    The breakfast was simple but convenient. The room we stayed in was the suite and was huge. And the location was ideal, very central and close to the wharves. And working distance to cafes and shops nearby.

    Lovely character filled building. Clean and stylish. Great staff. Easy access including during after hours. I rated it 8 but it's not far off a 10. Points were lost due to traffic noise in room 11 (but it is the city and I've stayed at much noisier places in Hobart) and the bed was ok but could be comfier (i like a nice firm bed. Again other places in Hobart are worse).
