Weekend trip
Room was for 4 people for a sports comp in Hobart. Pricing was best in Hobart as we required 4 beds, room was comfortable for the time we were in it, and most importantly clean. Swimming pool was clean, cold but good for the 2 of us that used it. Will stay again.

Give this place a try
Booked a Deluxe double room and facilities were ideal for our stay. The room was clean, with fridge, microwave, tv and bowls, plates and cutlery. Ample car parking and very little street noise. Plenty of flyers within reception for ideas on what to visit within Tasmania. Reception was very helpful and a request to stay an extra night in the same room was able to handled on the spot. Overall, only have positives from the stay and will be looking at stay there on my next visit to Hobart.

The property itself was very clean, just dated. Inconvienent times you couldn’t use the laundry after 7:00pm. Loved that it had a little kitchen although the fridge froze everything inside even after we turned it down. There is also a little communal kitchen. Location isn’t great and you definitely need a car, shops and restaurants aren’t too far away. For the price it was very good, would I stay here again, probably not.

Not the best
Bathroom was appalling. When the shower turned on black grime started dripping down the shower curtain as well as the tiles covered in grime making it slippery The bedding under the sheet was yellow and the room covered in dust Cutlery had to be washed before usage as it was filthy Budget accommodation fair enough but hygiene should be a must. The shared balcony made it impossible to open the curtain as you could see straight in side my room
