Quirky and comfortable

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 25 Oct 2022
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.

Room tip: I had zero issues, but late risers should ask not to stay in room 1 as it is next to the office and bathroom. Try to book Wednesdays.

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.
