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.
