Stated in a Hertitage Studio. Certainly wasn't even close to a studio. Extremely noisy timber floors, fridge in room compressor constantly running, could hear all other guests noises down to a sneeze. Bathrooms really need updating, door handles falling off, lights not working. No A/C in room. To be honest I've stayed in better backpacker accommodation.

The rooms are really small, much smaller than on their website. The frnt desk closes at 8:00 pm with no one on site, slightly disquieting. No tv remote, walls need painting, not enough room for two people to move around bed. Better options closer to Hobert city centre.

On arrival had some trouble understanding the receptionist, language difficulties. Room was compact, windows dirty and had cracks, access up the stairs revealed chipped and broken tiles a risk to both staff and visitors. Shower cubicles need revamp as they were showing signs of mould and mildew, very little insulation between wall as we were kept awake due to noisy... More

I wouldn't recommend this lodge, the studio room was cramped, unclean, rodents had taken up lodging in the little kitchen area near where the utensils are kept. I wasn't expecting much for the price but it was dirty. I agree with others that you walk past garbage bins, beer bottles, cigarette butts on your way to the entrance to the... More

We spent 2 nights here and considered it great value for money. The rooms were clean as a result of a recent soft refurbish. It is a 7 minute drive to the waterfront of Hobart. The beds were comfortable and it is reasonably quiet. A good option for those on a budget with reasonable expectations.

Other than the small, modern bathroom the furnishings were old and not as advertised. The bedding and towles were clean but the rest of the apartment was not. Leading to the access door you had to walk past garbage bins, old matresses and furnishings and the hallway was full of leaves and debris. Thoroughly disappointed

Ideal short stay accomodation only 8 minute car ride from Hobart CBD - I was amazed that the taxi fare from the hotel to the city cost me less than $10 AUD. Facilities are very clean and were in full working order - Peter (manager) was very helpful and knowledgable with being able to provide me with great options for... More

May have recently had a "Soft Furnishing" upgrade, but there is not much that can be done about the building. Beds were just okay, rooms rather small and cramped. Plenty of glass windows, which heat up the room during the day, with only a pedestal fan to cool them down. On both nights we stayed it was cooler outside than... More

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. What we found was nothing like the pictures or the description on their website. The room was small, smelly (we think maybe from the river) stuffy. There was no air con (although we saw retrospectively that this was not promised on the website), not even a fan. Temperature had been 30 during... More

Basil Fawlty would be too good for this Lodge. It doesn't look like the internet Photo's at all.The photo's are deceiving. The Manager on at the time was rude and unfriendly. The smell was awful it smelt like the sewage was leaking.
