The Prince of Wales Hotel is located in a quiet residential area, a short walk from Salamanca Square and a longer walk to the harbour and the centre of Hobart. The rooms are on the first floor above a pub, with limited parking at the rear. Check-in is at the bar and service here was adequate, but nothing special. At... More

My lamb shank was served cold and when sent back to the kitchen I was told they'd microwave it to heat it up! It came back lukewarm with gristle and bone I'd moved to the side of my plate mixed back into the sauce. My partner's fish was basically raw so it also was sent back. It returned overcooked at...

We chose this particular hotel simply due to it;s great location. The hotel was situated just a short albeit a steep walk to Salamanca and the Saturday markets. There are plenty of little cafe's in the street nearby as well. The car park is cramped, and if they have a function on in the bar or restaurant, you may not... More

For the money we paid, I was very happy with this hotel. Breakfast tray provided in room for each day (we stayed 3 nights). All towels changed and beds made up every day. The location was perfect - everything was accessible - tourist booking, waterfront, craft shops and city centre. There was some noise from the hotel - expecially on... More

I was visiting some friends on the mainland and wanted to spend a few days visiting a part of Australia I haven't been to before. I took the airport shuttle to the Prince of Wales. Be forewarned--if you arrive in Hobart during the evening rush hour--be prepared to spend a good hour or so working your way to your hotel... More

I stayed here for 2 nights in May 2009. As others have said, it has a fabulous location - only 5 minutes walk from the Salamanca markets. It also has free parking for hotel guests and a number of good restaurants nearby. The rooms are a little dated, but are good value for money, and they had the best set-up... More

We stayed at this hotel with our two teenage children on a Saturday and Sunday night. Yes it was a little noisy on the Saturday night but I slept with earplugs. The kids didn't seem to hear the noise. Fantastic value for money with a good breakfast included in the price. Stayed in the only two bedroom unit which had... More

A bit claustraphobic but reasonable for the price and location. Short walk to Salamanca Place. Rooms are clean and well presented if lacking in size and decor. Pub next door is reputedly quite good. This place is fine if you're planning on getting out and about and not spending a lot of time in your room (ie for sleeping purposes... More
