Length of our stay: 4 days Room: Myself and two others stayed in a standard room (not inside the house). They are clean, spacious motel-style rooms equipped with the necessities and comforts of home. If you're nostalgic like me you'll love the retro vibe, especially the carpeted walls....yes, I said carpeted walls people. I'm not sure if it was just... More

This hotel was not as close to the city as I read it to be however only a short taxi ride away. I also found the price to be on the high side considering the other places i've stayed at whilst in Hobart. I normally stay elsewhere but they were booked out. It was a lovely place to stay (I... More

There are more standard motel rooms built along the sides of the original 19th Century house. We have never stayed in these, however we have in the 2 bedroom apartments in the house a number of times. The are the antithesis of modern and streamlined accommodation; furnishings span 80 years r more,a with the odd occaional piece quite fine, however... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in June. The room we had was spacious and clean and DARK. It had all the basic things you get in a standard room, and is nothing special. Our room was on the ground floor, so we didn't have a view. The room decor was dark and red and retro. If you don't have... More

The hotel room was clean & tidy but in urgent need of refurbishment. The deor is out dated and the room was very dark. The bed was extremely hard & uncomfortable. To be honest the place gave me the creeps! More

This place won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it brought back a flood of memories of my own childhood 1970's holiday experience. Very clean and well presented which made all the difference. Great views from the room we were in to the water below and comfortably fit all six of our family in their Derwent Room. More

A real surprise. Certainly aging and a mixed decor; however, the rooms are as big as any in a comparable motel / hotel. Very clean, and daily maintenance is superb. TVs need replacing (some are stll CRT). No DVD facilities, still using videos. No international TV service. Wi Fi internet is NOT free (very expensive in fact) and very slow.... More

This was a wonderful place to stay in HOBART. Clean, tidy, quite, home away from home, all the comforts of home. Rates very, very reasonable, old world charm, close to the Harbour, tour buses do pickups from here also. We stayed 3 nights, did not want to leave. More

We stayed two nights at the Mayfair on Cavell and were impressed by the spacious room completed as it was with extra touches like recliner chairs. From the point of check-in to leaving we could not fault the service and would highly recommend the Motel which although older is roomy and comfortable. More

Great motel proudly from yesteryear Rooms are spacious, clean, quiet and with comfortable beds. Located within walking distance of central Hobart though the uphill walk back is a bit of a killer. The Italian restaurant around the corner is good value as is the Cambodian "VANNY'S" at 181 Liverpool st. More
