ibis Styles Hobart
Very clean room, facilities could have been better. No hand/body cream which is helpful to have in the room. Great location thought. Staff was helpful and got a little treat for my birthday. Which was a nice surprise.

The Tasman, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Hobart
The room was amazing but the hotel needs to look at some form of double glazing if you stay on the first floor facing the main road as constant traffic and people speaking loudly woke me up a lot during the night

Doubletree By Hilton Hobart
Room was very clean with great shower and amenities. Staff were all lovely and welcoming. Would skip the breakfast and go to a local restaurant instead.
