It was very enjoyable to stay at such an historic hotel. I had requested early arrival & while not guaranteed, Kellie got me in early. She was delightful to interact with overall. The breakfast option I felt wasn't a good option in terms of value for the price. The service & food quality at dinner, however, was exceptional. Happy Hour in the bar was quite fun. The walk from stop 5 on the Airport Express bus was very easy. Actually everything was very walkable from the hotel. I would stay here again & certainly recommend it to others!

Wonderful, comfortable, older traditional hotel. A bit dated because of it's age but it is in excellent condition with the charms of yesteryear. Elevator is small, stairs creek and electrical outlets are not standard heights above floor making some outlets unuseable. BUT location, location, location. Restaurant is great (get the fish chowder) bar is relaxing with great selection of drinks (try the gins). BUT the best was the service. Thank you front desk clerk Kitty. Your recommendations and help are much appreciated.

Dear Henry,Thank you for your kind words. Yes, at 190 years old we do have a few idiosyncrasies for our guests but that is part of the charm. We are looking into having our power points upgraded to cater to modern day needs. The menu is currently being reinvented but the fish chowder is staying put ... and thank you for your kind words about Kitty - she is one of our rising stars!Kind regards,Dean

A fantastic old style hotel, we were made to feel welcome from check in to check out and at all points in between. Opted for daily breakfast which was top notch. As we stayed over Xmas we had the Xmas dinner which was fantastic and well worth it. Rooms were comfortable with air con and opening windows. The orient bar was well stocked and the staff were fantastic. Highly recommend anyone to stay here when in Hobart.

First of all, this is a beautiful hotel - I just love the decor. Secondly, our room was lovely and was just what we needed. Many thanks to the staff who changed us to a king bed, when I wrongly thought a queen bed could be split! Which brings me to my third - the staff were just wonderful. Accommodating, so helpful and so courteous. We were a bit lost at times and had many questions for them, and they answered each one graciously. Thank you - 5 stars!

We've booked the spa suite room, and loved the decors of the hotels and the room. Really liked the hot tub as it has jets that can help to melt away all tiredness from the day tours we have went. The staff is friendly and hotel room is clean. Its very convenient as well as its walkable to to elizabeth st pier, near the sky bustop, and 400m away there is woolworth as well to purchase anything that you need. Will come and stay here again next time when im coming over to tasmania hobart.

Highly recommend the Hadley Orient if you are traveling to Tasmania. What a fun boutique hotel in the heart of Hobart. Takes you back in time and adds such little touches, such as the “old timey” music playing in the lobby. Our room floor had a little squeak in the floor, but honestly, that didn’t even bother us, considering the place was so cute. Chelsea, the breakfast staff, was the highlight of the morning 5 stars just to her!
