Weekend trip
Room was for 4 people for a sports comp in Hobart. Pricing was best in Hobart as we required 4 beds, room was comfortable for the time we were in it, and most importantly clean. Swimming pool was clean, cold but good for the 2 of us that used it. Will stay again.

Give this place a try
Booked a Deluxe double room and facilities were ideal for our stay. The room was clean, with fridge, microwave, tv and bowls, plates and cutlery. Ample car parking and very little street noise. Plenty of flyers within reception for ideas on what to visit within Tasmania.
Reception was very helpful and a request to stay an extra night in the same room was able to handled on the spot. Overall, only have positives from the stay and will be looking at stay there on my next visit to Hobart.

Not the best
Bathroom was appalling. When the shower turned on black grime started dripping down the shower curtain as well as the tiles covered in grime making it slippery
The bedding under the sheet was yellow and the room covered in dust Cutlery had to be washed before usage as it was filthy
Budget accommodation fair enough but hygiene should be a must. The shared balcony made it impossible to open the curtain as you could see straight in side my room

View from the room was OK although the block next door was untidy and with derelict cars spoilt it a bit.
Although free car parking is available, it is limited and sometimes you might need to park on the roadway.
Room was fine, no issues there.

Suggestions. Move closet so when in bed you can then see all of the tv.Warn guests not to open a window,as smokers use the balcony ,and the smoke comes straight in.

We stayed just one night. We have recently travelled through UK and these facilities were so much better for a third of the price. The rooms are roomy with a very comfortable sofa, table and chairs, fridge and decent bathroom which was very clean. Would stay again.
