The Grand Vue is a gorgeous hotel in a great location. We had wonderful views of the waterfront and the Hobart CBD was just a 15-20 minute walk away. We couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Firstly it is not a hotel, is a B&B !! So there are not staff available 24/7, no room service, nobody to assist you with your luggage, no concierge, etc. It is said breakfast included, it is not. It is basic continental breakfast. We were in room 1, no safe box. They said because it is very safe. We were not happy leaving valuables just like that. No luggage racks, so we had to leave our large luggage on the floor. Because of the room was so small, one large luggage had to be on the bathroom floor. Terrible experience. Considering the price per night, it is not worth it. It is not 5 stars. Never come back.

Stunning property, perfect location, close to restaurants and the iconic Salamanca area. The property was exceptionally clean. High quality linen and extra touches like homemade cakes and beautiful comfortable lounge spaces including manicured gardens with gorgeous views to enjoy a cup of tea or glass of wine made it a wonderful stay experience. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Inn
This is an absolutely beautiful restored inn. Our room was perfectly decorated and equipped. We had an expansive view of the harbor from our bay window. Check in was easy. Treats are available in the stunning kitchen as well as a simple breakfast. While we were very comfortable in our room as it was a cool day, I must note the rooms do not have ac. We would absolutely stay here again. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely too yet close to everything.

This was our third time choosing to stay at this magnificent private hotel. It's an absolute dream to stay here. Such a warm and welcoming place, hosts and staff. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and didn't want to leave! Everything about Grande Vue is chosen with care and class. From the beautiful music playing downstairs to the amazing home made cakes and sweets every day! We have stayed in 3 different rooms and all were impeccable and beautiful with stunning views. It's a joy to walk through and sit in any part of Grande Vue and the gorgeous kitchen is generously filled with various breakfast options. I cannot recommend Ashley and Brock's beautiful place highly enough!

A gorgeous, welcoming BnB that is beautifully appointed with attention to detail, immaculately clean and well maintained. It's the little things like the freshly baked goods, well stocked kitchen, and pantry stores. Everything has been thought of. It felt like we were the only people there. The view is outstanding.

Ashley and the staff made us feel welcome. The Grand Vue is a lovely historic building, surrounded by other period homes. Two lounges, tastefully decorated with antique furniture and local artwork. Fantastic kitchen and a fully stocked fridge and pantry with plenty of gluten-free options. Beautiful water views from the dining room. Walking distance to local restaurants, Salamanca and Hobart harbour. A welcome bottle of red, port and home-baked treats every day. Highly recommended.

From the beautiful heritage building, the amazing location in historic Battery Point, and the top notch service provided by the hosts Ash and Brock - there's really nothing you can fault if you stay here while in Hobart (which you definitely should). Brock went out of his way to offer suggestions for local restaurants to us when we had no concrete plans, even recognising us while we were out and about but not being intrusive - this kind of service was exceptional and very much appreciated. The room we stayed in was lovely, and the common areas of the house are a nice addition - all beautifully appointed. The home made cakes and treats from Ash and Brock were a really nice touch as well. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely look to stay here again if/when we come back.

The hotel feels like a home. Guests are invited to use the kitchen, the fridge is full of food, cakes are provided each afternoon, and the rooms themselves have gorgeous views over Hobart. Plus you’re within walking distance of Salamanca Place and many cafes/restaurants. A fabulous alternative from the no-name brand hotels.

This beautiful hotel is run by two of the nicest and most helpful hotel owner's I have come across in my travels, providing superb service with daily bread and cheese, and even baked sweets. They provided excellent choices of restaurants and cafes with local knowledge. The room's were in excellent condition with remarkable views of the nearby marina. I would recommend the Grand Vue to anyone looking for the best experience Hobart has to offer.

Room is small, bathroom is smaller but the view of the harbour is absolutely beautiful; it’s mesmerising. No room service, no balcony, no minibar, always understaffed and no shower gel (soap bars only). Room condition is very good, fittings and furnishings are great as well. The room heater didn’t seem to work but it was comfortable and warm inside the room probably because it was early March when we visited. It’s an old home nicely renovated and turned into a private hotel; it’s sort of a home feeling staying there with fireplaces in every room if that’s what you’re after. The property has stairs to the rooms on the first floor with quite a few steps; be prepared to carry your own luggage up and down the stairs. The parking is off street ie. council 2 hrs street parking restrictions from 8 am to 6 pm on weekdays; the property does not have its own parking facilities. The location is excellent with everything in walking distance; the view is awesome and the surround is nice and quiet. Would stay there again provided the water view room prices come down a bit.
