Miguel United States of America

Its handy to Hobart City and easy access to get back to the airport

Steve New Zealand

Spotlessly clean. A rare smokers balcony. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Good value for money, not too expensive option.

Simon Australia

Check-in was very easy. The guy at the reception was very kind and friendly, told us where to go to buy our groceries etc for our road trip. The room, bed, etc was very clean. Location is a bit out of town but we had a rental car, so it was no problem at all for us.

Pamela New Zealand

The room was spacious and well equipped. The bed was comfortable and spotlessly clean. The bathroom, bedroom and kitchenette were also clean.

Margaret Australia

No breakfast. Kitchen facilities were good. Guests were fun to talk to. Laundry facilities good.

Patti Solomon Islands

Suited us perfectly away from traffic noise. Easy to travel around.

Glynis Australia

Good location, easy to find. Only 4k to the city centre Friendly, helpful staff

Julian Australia

Good position close to our grandchildren. Good facilities including a pool. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Very clean, communal kitchen is a great idea and gives travellers a bit of flexibility.
