Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart
The view from the room was fabulous. The location is very convenient. Only stayed for one night on the way back home. Will definitely stay here if we visit again.

Mövenpick Hotel Hobart
The shower is 3ft away from facet handle, shampoo and soap. You have to walk back and forth to adjust water temperature and get soap during shower. If you want to use bath tub, you need to bring your own shampoo and soap. The front desk staff is always busy and some of them are not knowledgeable ...

Allurity Hotel
Great location but that’s where it ended. 3 night stay asked for room clean and was told I had to be there 4 days for that. One lift dead and others slow and came up with faulty message on screen often. Water pressure was drip feed level.

The Old Woolstore Apartment Hotel
My only gripe was the noise from the above room, they seemed to walk the floor, backwards & forwards forever, with very heavy footsteps.

The Tasman, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Hobart
Good but not great. Slow check in, no upgrade and no gold level perks. Also, it is time to bring back doona/duvet covers, as sheets covering doonas/duvets are impractical, uncomfortable and disgusting! .
