Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart
The best shower EVER!!! Had a really lovely stay here—comfortable room, great service, and everything was clean and well looked after. But honestly, the standout was the shower. Properly hot water and amazing pressure. It was one of those showers you don’t want to get out of. Would happily stay again ...

The Old Woolstore Apartment Hotel
The hotel is a bit dated but clean. Service and staff are great. The hotel locates near the city centre in walking distance. We enjoyed our stay there.

Wrest Point
Staff were helpful . It should be noted this is an enormous complex and there are areas that do not adequately suit people with mobility issues . All of the seating is extremely low , some ramp access do not meet standards as inclines exceed the 1:14 gradient . Staff were helpful and friendly .
