The Alabama is a small art-filled hotel offering boutique budget rooms in the heart of Hobart. Please note that all rooms have shared bathrooms, there are no rooms with a private or en suite bathroom. If this is not your style, we understand, but please be aware of this before staying and / or reviewing. Each room has a small fridge, a heater, hanging space for your clothes and a fan for warmer weather. Hobart is rarely hot, air-conditioning is not needed here. Even on that rare hot day, the city cools down at night and the windows open to let in a breeze. It is perfectly safe to have a window open at night while you sleep. Tea and coffee is available to purchase from reception, which is open from 8am - 9pm daily. There are no tea making facilities in the rooms. Our inner city location means we do not have off street parking. Unless you're planning a longer trip through Tasmania we wouldn't recommend hiring a car for your stay at the Alabama as inner city parking costs do add up.

What a wonderful place. It has the feel of a hostel without the stinky shoes and dirty bathrooms. Everything is clean and tidy, the rooms are neat and comfortable. The staff is wonderful and we loved the hotel dog. We will definitively be back!

PROS: Comfy bed. Cute decor with lots of character. Great location. CONS: an unfriendly and ready to do the bare minimum staff member who was too busy chatting to their mates to be present when providing service. They were distracted and clearly just wanted to get back to their chat with friends at the reception bar. You felt as if you were disrupting them. Gave contradictory information.

We loved our stay at The Alabama Hotel. Centrally located, lovely lounge and bar area, friendly and helpful staff and great value. Beautiful soap for each guest, spotlessly clean linen. The fridge in our room was very useful for breakfast. Thank you.

I have stayed in lots of budget hotels/hostels over the years and when planning a trip to Hobart, looked into the YHA and the Alabama. I chose the Alabama primarily because of the reviews, the photos and the funky vibe. The location was excellent, however I was pretty disappointed upon arrival! The staff were not friendly, the room was smelly and didn’t feel clean. I dropped my phone behind the bed, which was right by the window and the amount of dust behind it was gross! It was clear that it had never been cleaned before. The bed was very easy to move so no excuse. I asked the staff at reception to get this cleaned up, which they did. Cleaners need to really up their game. The bathroom ran out of tissues/paper towels Saturday evening. Having read the other reviews I really don’t know why my experience was so different - I don’t have hugely high standards, but I expect a room to be clean and staff to be friendly as a minimum! I wouldn’t stay here again and I wouldn’t recommend it to others.…

We didn't quite know what to expect but were very happy with our room; plenty of space, comfortable beds, clean, neat and tidy. Yes, there's a shared bathroom however it was clean and the water pressure in the shower was good. Quirky furnishings and a great bar area to enjoy a quiet drink at the end of the day. If you are expecting something along the lines of a large hotel chain, don't book accommodation here; it's a little different but great value and location. Shoutout to Jimmy at reception whose customer service is 11/10!

Amazing little place … room was clean and well presented and spacious. Bathrooms also nice and clean and light and bright. The service was exceptional; Molly and Em were both super friendly, honest, enthusiastic, helpful. The bar/living room area and balcony were homely and chilled and fun. Would definitely stay again.

I stayed in this hotel for three nights. The room was simple, but clean and even had a fridge to keep your own drinks cold. One minor disadvantage was the fact, that there were shared bathrooms only, but I knew this in advance. There was also a laundry, which you could use for a few dollars. The hotel is centrally located next to Elisabeth Mall. Staff was easygoing and polite. I would return.

There is so much to recommend this place. It has a doggy on most Wednesdays! The bar has a quality selection of wine and beers, including an amazing selection of gluten free beers that were a revelation to me and a well appointed lounge and balcony to enjoy them in. It has a doggy! It is really conveniently located in Central Hobart so plenty of options to dine out and a taxi rank and supermarket a very short walk away. It has a doggy! The staff were lovely from checking in to check out. It has a doggy! The malamute in question was a very good girl. She was friendly and the banter was incredible. It is LGBTQ friendly.

Great place to stay if you are in Hobart and looking for accommodation that offers a quirky but warm atmosphere. Travelling with three generations can be challenging but the Alabama was suitable for the whole family. Lovely, clean rooms, comfortable beds and in the city centre. The Alabama is great place to stay if you are after value for money. You can also get out of your room and meet some fellow traveler’s in the lounge for afternoon happy hour. Sure you have to share a bathroom but the water is hot the bathrooms are spotless. The Alabama is a great place to stay if you are looks for something a little different. Fantastic experience.
