Top hotels in Howden
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.
