Reviews and Ratings
My stay at this hotel was absolutely delightful. The rooms, although not brightly lit, perfectly suited the rustic building style with exposed beams, quality furnishings, and plenty of natural light. The service was impeccable, with a 'nothing is too much trouble' attitude making my time in Hobart truly memorable. The location was superb, allowing easy exploration of the waterfront, Salamanca market, and other nearby attractions. The dining experience was outstanding, despite a slight disorganization during peak times. Overall, a top-notch hotel with a few minor flaws but well worth it.
The hotel had fantastic amenities in the rooms, but unfortunately, our mountain view was lacking. Using the after-hours bathroom facilities was inconvenient. The room was small and seemed overpriced for what we received.
This hotel has a really cool and edgy vibe in a fantastic location with friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are trendy but noisy, the service is lovely and accommodating, and the dining options are outstanding showcasing Tasmanian produce. Price may be an issue for some.

I couldn't have asked for a better stay at this hotel. The rooms are spacious, unique, and beautiful, showcasing the heritage status of the building with an idyllic outlook over the waterfront. The service goes above and beyond, making every request a breeze, and the knowledgeable, friendly assistance adds to the wonderful experience. The location is perfect for water views and evening strolls, being within walking distance of restaurants and attractions.

The hotel is a unique blend of old and new design, offering comfortable rooms with interesting features from the old factory backed to the courtyard.
