Top hotels in Otago
Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart
Great view, clean, well appointed rooms close to the harbour, the MONA ferry terminal and Salamanca market. We would have liked more bench space in the bathroom and to have a lift from the parking garage to the hotel, but other than that we really enjoyed our stay.

Being upgraded to an apartment was a real bonus, the room was very clean and modern, the happy hour(s) in the onsite bar were very reasonable and the staff in general were very welcoming. The hotel is well positioned a short 10 minute walk from the harbour.
