Thomas Barker, the general manager of this superb establishment, has a friendly, easygoing manner that allows guest to thoroughly enjoy this jewel in Hobart. The resident chef made the best scrambled eggs I've ever had. Everything about this hotel will amaze you, the rooms, the art, the food, the view from the garden. Relax and enjoy!

What an outstanding hotel the Islington is. This is a truly spectacular venue, the ambience is sublime. You must have dinner in one night, the chowder outstanding the rack of lamb delicious and the chocolate fondant delightful.

We were at the Islington for our wedding anniversary and it was the perfect way to spend our celebration.

The honour system in the bar downstairs is delightful. Our room just beautiful including luxurious bath and super shower

Awesome place to stat

This hotel was luxurious, casual, elegant and comfortable. The art was fantastic and the food was delicious.

Everything about it was great. I can't wait to go back.

From the moment we drove in the private gates this hotel surpassed our expectations. The staff were lovely, the setting so romantic and the room was immaculate. Too tired to venture back in to Hobart we decided to stay for dinner (cooked by the in house chef) where we sampled mussels, lamb and an outstanding seafood chowder. Our garden room had a complimentary mini bar, bath products by Aesop and the latest Marie Clare magazine as well as a fresh vase of roses that had been picked from the gardens just before our arrival. Before Thursday I never knew that this hotel existed - now I don't know how I will be able to stay in any other accommodation in Hobart again. Try it. I promise you won't regret it!
