It was quite pleasant but lacked the touches that would be expected for the price asked. Breakfast was nice, the people were pleasant and helpful, the view was terrific. There was plenty of space in the room and somewhere to sit while reading or watching tele. On the other hand, the lamp didn't work, the water pressure was poor and... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Madsen. The hotel has been beautifully decorated and is perfectly located right on the water front. The view from our window was picturesque. The management were polite and friendly and the breakfast was delicious.

Quite an enjoyable stay, the management were very obliging in exploring the district and making arrangements. Enjoyed the breakfast.

We loved the super modern look of this hotel, from the security systems on the door, to the style of the room. The downside was the walls (or roof in my instance) was so thin that it was a little embarrassing. I could hear every cough, burp and movement going on in the upstairs rooms, which made me think they... More

It was a great experience. The new owners stated that they try to make this B&B style hotel wihtout the over-personable approach of a B&B, but they're yet to reach this.

Spectacular bath on raised bathroom, only surpassed by the breakfast brought to the room, basking in the morning sun. Attention to detail in every respect. Green tea bags for instance is a nothing, but the gourmet offering was tops. VERY... More

We were not disappointed when we walked into the Waterview Room at The Madsen. Grat view of Bass Strait while lounging on the comfortable bed. The desk gave us a warm welcome and advice on where to eat and the option to have breakfast delivered to our room. DVDs are available for borrowing from the reception, and as there is... More

Our stay in the penthouse had the wow factor from start to finish. If only larger hotels could do this type of service. Lovely offer of room service breakfast was the perfect way to end our stay. Roomy, well kitted out, spotless and very stylishly decorated. Love the timber floors. Thank you Katherine and Richard.

I was looking for decent accomodation on my work trip, and options in burnie were sadly lacking. Found this place and booked The cheapest room they had.  My stay has been almost faultless, positives are: - modern decor including lovely modern bathrooms - very friendly welcoming service, that isn't overly familiar, just how I like it - easy to find...
