When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
I was in one of the one-bedroom apartments and they were very comfortable and well appointed. Given the amount of traffic I witnessed outside, the room was very quiet indeed. The facilities in the room were of a high standard and all worked very well, the 'rain' shower was a special treat. The hotel is located in Salamanca Wharf but only a 2-minute walk away from the really touristy bit where the market is held and where the louder pubs are located. From my perspective it is a great location. It is also only a short walk to the ferries and meeting points for any day tours. The Staff were very helpful and communicated well prior to my arrival and during my stay. To top it off I thought the price was very reasonable

We chose to stay here as we wanted a location convenient to the wharf for one night. The whole experience was easy and enjoyable, from booking to check out. We booked a premium apartment with wheelchair access. The room was spacious, clean and well appointed with everything we needed. The bathroom has a great layout for access and has plenty of cupboard space and mirrors. The bed was soft and comfortable. The kitchen space had a well-stocked minibar with lots of Tasmanian produce for a reasonable price. The outlook onto the park behind the accommodation was also pleasant. We found the apartment quiet and very, very convenient. Had breakfast at Farzi, the cafe below, and thoroughly enjoyed this too. Fantastic coffee and menu choices. We would definitely stay here again!

My husband is a yachting enthusiast and amateur sailor, so being in Hobart for the end of the 75th Sydney to Hobart was a bucket-list experience for him.
Booking in for 5 nights at the Salamanca Wharf Hotel was perfect for us. Gorgeous well-appointed apartment in a central location that was an easy walking distance to everything Hobart has to offer. Close to Constitution Dock to see the yachts coming in, MONA ferry, heaps of restaurants and cafes, Salamanca markets on Saturday, and Taste of Tasmania food festival right on our doorstep. Plus we could see the NYE fireworks from our balcony (in pjs).
We had a one bedroom apartment. Very comfy bed and adequate wardrobe space, bathroom had plenty of bench and cupboard space, good quality shower and toiletries plus a washing machine. Kitchen/living area was perfect for us - fully stocked minibar very reasonably priced, dishwasher, plunger coffee and teas.
Definitely would stay again. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Building has good security.

Our stay was overall pleasant. The bed was comfortable and there is heaps of storage cupboards in the bathroom and bedroom for an extended stay. Our bedroom was noisy though from other guests, which was disruptive and affected our sleep. The room was clean and had everything we needed. A five minute walk to the Salamanca district which is fantastic! Heaps of shopping, restaurants, and harbour cruises. Onsite parking for the hotel is in a vehicle 'stacker' which was weird and creative. Staff (including the manager when answering emails) were attentive and professional.
TIP - skip the restaurant. Salamanca Wharf Hotel does not own the restaurant on the ground floor but our package included breakfast hence eating there. Our food was truly dreadful. My porridge one day was lukewarm soupy milk with some oats. Sent it back and was told no other customer had complained before. Really? Avoid.

Paid in advance for 3nights What we paid for and what we got was unacceptable !!!!!! King premium suite with washer/drier chosen as we had been traveling for two weeks prior so wanted to clean our clothes What we got was a large,cold dark room with wheelchair access for disabled people No washer/drier, bathroom was dangerous with totally wet floors when the shower was used including the toilet being in the same room. Bitterly disappointed !!! And we asked to change to the room we paid for but were told not available!!!!!!! We were Offered Maybe a bottle of sparkling wine to compensate. Not appropriate at a $1075.00 for 3night

Certainly would not return to this hotel after our experience. Make sure you get what you have requested and payed for. We booked a premium King with washer and dryer. We got a room designed for disabled designed for showering in a wheelchair, extremely slippery floor, no washer dryer. Approached the receptionist and was given all the usual excuses but was told we would be moved next day. Alas in the morning told that nothing available they had given them all to a group booking. We had booked two premium kings as we were travelling with friends. The room they got was what we booked. The receptionist was polite to start with but soon become very defensive when questioned. Not a nice experience. Adjoining cafe good for breakfast.
Absolutely enjoyed our two weeks in Tasmania and Hobart is a beautiful city.

This was a stay of two rooms. I have to start this by saying straight up that nowhere on the hotel's website does it say that rooms have views.
Great location at the end of Salamanca with short walk back into town. Away from the noise of the bars and restaurants. We arrived early but were able to park the car in the stacker carpark (very cool) and then go out for the day.
I had a bad feeling the moment I opened the door. We pulled the curtains back and in front is a stone and concrete wall. We had to stand against the window to see sky. I went down to reception and said we couldn’t stay in the room. I was told they don’t advertise views. I said I did know that when I booked but looking into a solid wall was just not ok. The receptionist was super nice and said we could be moved tomorrow, just check at 10.
We went down at 10 the following morning. The new room was ready and we could move straight away. Sometimes things do turn out. Two floors up with sky, trees and fresh air.
The rooms themselves are really nice. Kitchenette, living room, huge bathroom with nice products and big fluffy towels. Cheap minibar. Lovely staff. If you have a car any bigger then a medium SUV you won't be able to use the stacker.
Would we stay again? If we were able to request a room facing out onto the street, or on level 3 at the back, absolutely but the risk of staying on level one or two at the back would make us think twice.

We rarely stay in serviced apartments, but we may well change our mind after 4 days at the Salamanca Wharf Hotel. Clean, modern and with all the facilities right in the heart of Salamanca in Hobart. 5 min walk to the market on Saturday, but just far enough to escape the parking hassle. The cafe underneath provided a great start to the day and listened when we have specific food requirements. The reception and household staff we very helpful and friendly. We could not fault the place, although we would have liked firmer pillows (but that is just personal choice - my wife loved them).
Highly recommend.

No sense of pride in the room. Once would have been amazing, now it shows they have a lack of attention to detail.
I purchased a food package and only 50% was honoured, the segment of reimbursement they did follow through with was an odd amount and less than the value promised.

A 22 room hotel , it was perfectly located close enough to Salamanca place but away from the main strip and noise . We booked two penthouse apartments and were slotted 19 and 21 , different layouts . One studio and the other a one bedroom . It was spacious, warm , comfy bed, kitchenette plus laundry and one apartment had 2 tvs. Reception is from 9 to 5 only and you have to make arrangements for after hours check in . There is no room service but a cafe serving breakfast and lunch to 3 pm Is in the ground floor and has good coffee and meals .
Staff were really friendly and helped arrange luggage to be moved when we booked a different room for an afternoon stay before a night flight .
Lots of restaurants around and the Mona ferry is 5 minutes away , city is a 15 minute walk as well and battery point around the corner . There is on site parking but for smaller cars .

Not sure about that. We had a room on Level 3 and this had a separate bedroom so I would expect it does. We didnt use the onsite parking, we parked on the street. Maybe email reception, they are really helpful. It is a great location and we have stayed there a couple of times.
No views. The best place that I have stayed in Hobart, with a view, is the Grand Chancellor. You can get a view of the mountains or the wharf depending upon your choice (and budget of course). Hope this helps
There are more places to choose from in the Hobart area.
