We booked a couple of nights here while in Hobart. We had a deluxe room on the second floor. It was very very clean, with modern bathroom and breakfast bar overlooking the water. Judy at reception was great! The carpark is right under the rooms which makes for a noisy early start. We would definitely stay here again on our... More

A very impressive overhaul of this well-located Motel is being done. Located on busy Sandy Bay Road, the traffic noise was to a minimum - no trouble at all with noise. Buses located right up the road which took us in to Salamanca Markets and the city. Lovely view over the bay. I booked 2 separate units, one for the... More

Would highly recommend motel I will definitely be staying here if at all possible. The rooms are very modern and comfortable and even though it is on a main road the traffic noise was barely noticeable. The staff are very friendly and there is wifi through out. Off street parking and some under cover. Very reasonably priced.

We stay here every time we visit in Hobart. The motel is clean, warm, comfortable, well appointed and in a great location. Yes, it is on a "main road" but this is Hobart, not Sydney. If you want a value-for-money motel from which to base yourself while in and around Hobart, I don't think you will find better.

The motel is located near a busy road. Although I understand there are a number of renovated rooms, unfortunately the room we had was not one of those. It had worn 80s decor, was cramped and there was mould in the shower, so much so that we didn't dare use it for fear of getting a fungal disease. It was... More

We needed accommodation close to the University and this was great. We had a lovely room (recently refurbished & self contained). No complaints with the motel itself, we were very comfy, but being on the main road I did find the traffic noise a little disturbing. It wouldn't put me off staying again though I would just be better prepared... More

We stayed here in December for 2 nights. The staff were extremely helpful any request or directions were met with a smile. We had the front room with a view of the river and was able to watch the yachts come in from the Sydney to Hobart. The room was clean and neat and the bed was lovely and comfortable.

Awesome place to stay. Great location, good parking and rooms are a good size and very clean and newly redecorated. 4 of us booked 2 rooms for 2 nights and can definately recommend this motel. It's recommended by Qantas as well. Friendly and professional staff. Dining Locally: Try the Riverview Inn (built in 1842) - its about 3-4 kms further... More

Stayed for three nights with my partner over the New Year period. The room was modern, self contained, and included two queen sized beds. The motel is across the road from the Wrest Point Casino, and approximately thirty to forty minutes walk from Salamanca Place and Constitution Dock. Pros: Location; excellent rooms (size, facilities, cleanliness); price (worth upgrading for about... More
