“If your into 70's nostalgia, this is the place.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

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.

“Superb Staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011

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. So why such a high recommendation?

The staff are as fine a group of people you could find anywhere, as are the owners. There is reliable public transport outside the front door , with walking distance to Hobart (don't try it back...it's all up hill...get the bus....

This hotel is a really welcoming, clean and expansive place to stay...stress free. Shouldn't that be the main criteria for any accomodation.

“Wonderful place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2011

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.

“Classic Comfort”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 March 2011

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.

“quaint and very enjoyable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2011

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.
